Wow this is especially beautiful! In 1984 Saul and I were driving south on 8th ave having left Barry Harris on our way to the Village, I had some Bach or Telemann on the radio at full volume, windows open, Saul pulled up along side me ((having found the same radio station)….. it was a moment. Saul is a very Organic and throughly sincere guy, without any pretentious vibes or false stuff going on. It’s as though while listening to this that I was able to conversationally slip right back in to 1980’s Saul Rubin again!

It was a lot of fun to listen to your chat with Gary S Bob!! Thank you🙏 I first heard and met Gary at the Vanguard on Monday night in December’85. I was on a week dry dock break during a cruise ship contract. Mel kicked off the band, the band played an ensemble intro and wild melody and then Gary proceeded to play a 10 minute solo without repeating himself once!! On the break I went up to Gary, introduced myself shared my appreciation for his astoundingly amazing creativity and facility. I mentioned that my ship roommate was Czech saxophonist who played bari phenomenally well, Jan Konopasek. It cool to discover that Gary knew Jan and loved his playing. Too bad Gary and Jan never recorded together. But Gary…what a giant of the baritone! Great work Bob!!

Isn't it funny, Bob? I imagine that E7 stuff made you want to pop him one for so long, but now, wouldn't it be a dream to be playing a gig to turn around and see that devious smile of his and of course, "E7 strikes again!". Great story. You oughtta write a song for him and partner up with some of the other muscians and make a song entirely in E7. It would be a funny "fuck you" and "we love you" to him. I wouldn't be suprirpised if you were visited by his ghost strumming an invisiable bass and you hear a disembodied Jaco in the studio going, "NO! You guys are playing it wrong!" in total Jaco style. <3
@bobmoverjazzability2 ай бұрын
Yeah, of course I would love it if he would appear. And he can play E7 as long as he wants. I think I have also improved on playing one chord and have more to say on E7 now, than then. I have a better idea about how to get away from it and get back to it, ... how to play "in & out" on it. And I have grown more patient with age. I miss Jaco's originality and his heart.

I saw Mel’s band at the Vanguard in December 1985. Mel kicked off the first up tempo tune. After the ensemble the the melody Gary S played a beautiful solo that seemed to go on for over 20 choruses of continuous flow where he didn’t repeat himself once… The next tune Ralph took a marvelously lyrical solo with a sound quality and approach to phrasing that I had never heard before.. And that’s when I absolutely fell in love with both of those cats🎶💗👍
