And I no longer respect Mr Pig's taste in music.
(Although I did buy the Curiosity Killed The Cat album, so we've all got skeletons in our musical closets, I suppose....)
i also had Go Wests and Living In a Box's albums but on the flip side i really loved and still do Tears for Fears Songs from the Big Chair and listen to it regularly.

Re: Greatest Jazz Artist Mon Nov 16 2015, 13:21Art Blakey? Max Roach? Buddy Rich? Elvin Jones? I like Billy Cobham too but probably because of the recordings he was involved with. Not as technically gifted as Rich, explosive as Jones or creative as Blakey but nonetheless a good 'un.boltonbonce wrote:Quick post while I'm pain free.
Always loved jazz,Thelonius Monk in particular,despite my Dad insisting he sounded like Les Dawson.
I wouldn't like to pick a favourite though. I just like to sit back and enjoy some of the finest musicians who ever drew breath. These 4 for a start. Amazing. I'll fight anyone who thinks there has ever been a better drummer than Krupa.

I like Bebop and I guess Miles D was involved albeit less so than Parker, Gillespie, Roach and Monk etc. TBF I have more MD albums than any other jazz musician apart from John McLaughlin and Herbie Hancock, but jazz is a big church and there are some cracking tunes especially around the edges - which are hard to define.
Okocha for example, is clearly in love with Joni Mitchell and she hired a jazz team to produce her best work (IMO) - albums like Hejira, Court & Spark, Summer Lawns etc which were all basically jazz albums.
As a guitarist, I can recommend the San Francisco collaboration between Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola - which obviously veered off into Spanish stylie (but so did Miles in
Sketches!)
Love the jazz "classics" but I find it more interesting when it encroaches on other genres for the most part. Sometimes it's difficult to work out where jazz ends and e.g. blues or rock - or increasingly pop - begin. There are lots of great jazz artists and what is nice about it is that they all have their own style and favourite genres so it's impossible to say who the greatest was/is.

What other guitar players do you like WL?

I remember this was when he got into lift music - a style I don't especially like - when he left Mahavishnu in the mid 70s? But he did drum up a storm on the same album I think.

Had a pair of camel coloured Levi's that were corduroy when I was younger and thought I looked great at the time.Breadman wrote:This thread smells of old men in corduroy.
