今も色あせないT.SAX奏者永遠の名盤！

I know what you want to say. The great music is timeless, right?

[@mgconlan]

This is the infamous album for which Rollins fired his band (bassist Donald Bailey and drummer Pete LaRoca) midway through and replaced them with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones. Blue Note had to go through with the recording because they'd only budgeted recording fees for one night. Three years later another tenor sax titan, John Coltrane, also fired Pete LaRoca and replaced him with Elvin Jones.

1:56 Stella By Starlight, he also quotes it on Four on the Rudy Van Gelder edition (1999 remaster) that includes all recordings from November 3.

The great Elvin Jones on drums.

[@mgconlan]

Elvin Jones had been recording since 1950 but his uniquely explosive style of drumming was first heard on records here.

[@UkuleleAversion]

I love the sound of the double bass.

[@TCJAZZ-MUSIC]

Wow ....... just wow ......

Ciao Ciao! Luca san from Japan. Itsumo Arigatou. Now, summer in Japan is hot and humid from morning to night.

[@sipsun8]

HI MONY! Grüezi (Ciao in swiss german)! Here, since last night, it has started to rain and the temperature has dropped by almost 10 degrees Celsius. Even if the water is welcome, because it has been raining and snowing too little for a long time, I hope the summer heat comes back soon. Ciao MONY, see you soon! Luca

Striver's Row sounds like a contrafact of Confirmation.

[@petecornell2605]

I’m almost 65, pro musician since 19...2nd time recently this “contra fact” term shows up; what up. yes, based on Confirmation

[@UkuleleAversion]

@@petecornell2605 Thank you for *confirming* that.

[@sipsun8]

For me, not english mother tongue, not american nor english, is not so easy to understand the meaning of your "conversation". It would be very nice for me if someone of you -- or the two together -- could explain me a little the sense of those words. Thank you in advance. Luca

[@samferguson9171]

@@sipsun8 A "contrafact" is a tune written with a new melody over the chords of an old song, usually a standard. "Striver's Row" is apparently a new melody over the chords of Charlie Parker's "Confirmation." I hope that helps. Thanks for the upload!

[@sipsun8]

@@samferguson9171 Thank you so much! Now it is totally clearer to me. And it is also clear that my knowledge of music and in particular of jazz, which I love very much and which at a young age I followed a lot even live, are very scarce. Unfortunately, for me, for a whole series of three reasons, the "in-depth study" had to stop very soon. Today, even if with great difficulty, I can continue to listen to a kind of shred of what was the magnificent experience of deep and emotional listening. But this is life and it is much better to be able to adapt to what fate has in store for us, trying to stay positive and make the most of it even if reduced to a flicker. It was really very kind of you to answer me with cordiality and competence. A warm greeting. Luca

I just listened to a 10h European podcast radio show on Sonny Rollins (yes, 10x 1h, covering 1951-2001 !!!). My opinion of Rollins is that it seems very overrated to me. First of all as a player, he does not seem to me better than Johnny Griffin, Stitt, Roland Kirk, Phil Woods, Lateef ... but enjoys a much more important reputation ... and unjustified in my opinion. Ok he plays well, but not better than the musicians I mentioned. In terms of composition, he did not compose anything, everyone knows that St Thomas is a Caribbean folklore already recorded by Randy Weston in 1955 under the title Fire Down There. His other compositions from the 50s ... well, Oleo, Airegin etc ... this can in no way be compared to the compositions of Trane, Bird, Monk or Shorter ... also, his playing and his sound are terribly degraded after 1966 (36 years). It seems that he was traumatized by the arrival of Ornette, Trane, Ayler ... In the 60's he tried to be more free than Ayler, more calypso / blues than Ornette, and more mystical than Trane, but he didn't. did not succeed. Then in the 70s / 80s he tried to be funky, disco ... with really ridiculous and cheesy results ... Did he want to be funkier than James Brown himself? Also, in the radio show they say that he was paid current $ 300,000 for himself to record the Nucleus album (so listen to the result !!!!), and that, for his concerts, his financial claims were unrealistic, only the big festivals could afford it. He played with the Stones but didn't want to go on tour with them because, according to Jagger himself, he wanted too much money! I mean, I'm not making anything up here. In my opinion, he should have remained what he was before, a disciple of Bird at the Tenor, and quit at the age of 40 to leave a quality job, and without trying to follow fashion. Thank you for not insulting me because I have documented myself on Rollins and I like to have constructive discussions without being attacked on my person.

@@sipsun8 il cuore non permette Ascoltare la musica, idiota!

[@sipsun8]

Grazie per la gentilezza amico. L’utilizzo di insulti nei commenti - e soprattutto nelle risposte- è qualcosa che rifuggo e che deploro totalmente… il tuo commento, come vedi, lo lascio, ma la mia risposta la elimino, eliminando così il tuo becero insulto. Mammamia che tristezza, che pena infinita l’odio, l’intolleranza e la violenza che ottenebrano il cervello e soprattutto il cuore 💔 di tanti. Love is Everywhere e non puoi farci niente!

You don't know s**t about jazz music.
