And they had such CLASS.
I used to get to Birdland occasionally in the fifties.Nothing like jazz.

Wasn’t it great? I just stumbled on this a few weeks ago...I think what struck me was watching Brubeck play piano, and it looked like his fingers weren’t even really moving much, but watching the hammers move, you could see he was doing a lot!
I just finished Michael Connelly’s “The Black Box” and the
main character is an Art Pepper fan.

Very good video. Paul Desmond was called the ‘whispering saxophonist’ because of his airy tone. I much preferred a harder tone, such as that of Cannonball Adderley, so I didn’t listen to much Desmond when I was developing my sound.
I’m sorry we bunch of scraggly musicians have hijacked your thread.
witchi tai to...
Thank you so much for sharing this. My reaction is same as your’s - just beautiful. This song touches the soul!
Alto saxoffonist Mike Migliore used to play with May-Nard.
I’m enjoying it, not to worry — just remember that it got posoted on the Religion Forum and there are rules here.
Used to play drums, marimba and tympani
(I'm the one on the left! I learned to play a baritone to do it, had never played one before...:)
I had so much fun doing that...heh, my buddy is the guy on the far right.
My absolute favorite was Ben Webster. I really got into saxophone for about 15 while I taught myself to play, and got as much to listen to as I could. I could literally hear about two or three notes from a player and identify who it was...I was quite proud of myself...:)
My second favorite sound is John Coltrane, specifically in his “Ballads” album. Some of the more avant garde stuff he did, not so much.
I will leave you with some Mike Migliore with May-Nard.
LOL...I keep forgetting this isn’t my thread...I will stop hijacking it as well. Just got carried away, don’t run into many Drum & Bugle Corps folks anymore...:)
Two Seven!
And then along came Michael Brecker and David Murray...
I was obsessed with the “Round Midnight” album for a period of time, because I was right in the middle of learning how to play and that album just hit the spot for me.
