Joe Lovano, George Mraz & Al Foster

[glovetones]

three of my favorite musicians together... damn!

[zzausel]

I clicked here to hear our Mraz again, and now I'm brimming over with joy about JL

[jacobrecker]

Almost every single Lovano video has someone whimpering "I dont like his sound...yuck ugh :(((( boohoo." Pickup his recording called "Tenor Legacy" and listen to "Web of Fire" (Lovano, Josh Redman, Geri Allen, Christian Mcbride, cant remember drummer). You'll start digging his sound after hearing that. Also get his earlier stuff with the Vanguard / mel lewis / thad jones band and his other album called "Rush Hour"

Hey

I saw Joe live rehearsing for a concert in Portugal, and he played a very VERY strange song which i loved.

Unfortunately, i cannot remember the name of the song, so... Does anyone know any strange sounding songs played by him?? I don't know whether it was a cover or not, but i suspect it might have been something from Dizzy Gillespie.

The thing i remember was that the last note was completely off and it sounded so beautiful...

Thanks in advance

man Mraz has got his bass up really high. Amazing solo though.

[saxophile1]

is joe lovano jewish?

[Parvenu333]

Mraz plays a killer solo, it's just the tune that sucks. Honestly, it's so contrived that even when the harmony is played perfectly by such great players, not to mention the amazing rhythmic interplay between Al Foster and George during George's solo, you still can't hear anything relevant. It's meandering and unfocused. All fantastic players, but such a bad tune.

[WHsaxguy]

@Parvenu333 you are hearing wrong.

[triadicmemories]

Mraz!!! time, tone, & taste!!!

[littleshortkid]

Mraz kicks ass

[JazzmanJibilla]

Holy Mackerel that's fantastic.

[skrajelasu]

Great song, outstanding and smart play, thank you for the insertion

[saxorona]

Grand Master Joe

[BossTenor]

Joe has a great fat tone. Just the way a tenor is suppose to sound. And when Joe whispers on the tenor, it still does not loose it's tone as a nice fat round sound.

[balancedaction6]

What A Sound! Lovano is carving out a legacy for himself.

[reckber28]

Lovano is the fuckin' best!

[Rippenstein]

[futboler454]

[beatlesqueen4ever]

[napkinholder7143]

joe your the badest player on the planet....

[bluesandswing]

try turning up your speakers...or maybe getting your hearing checked

[Soul74]

Let those with ears hear...

[Saxyman14]

Quit it. Quit it. Quit it.

[JoF00l]

I don't understand the thumbs down, it sounds to me like decus69's comment was saying that Joe has his own sound as opposed to being a clone of another player.

I don't race has a fooking thing to do with it though, Jazz is beyond that.

[loopysteve1]

If that's what he was getting at it certainly didn't come across that way...

But I agree with you JoF001

[bigbass421]

Mraz is absolutley brilliant.... this is what virtuosity looks and sounds like.

[medusasax]

Mraz de jól ráz!!

[musicianproducer]

also ornette coleman

[guitarjuncky2]

He's more like the Joe Henderson of our time. I love both Joe's...

[mikaylasax]

Joe Lovano is the Sonny Rollins of his generation. Absolutely amazing! We get to meet him next week. Can't wait!

[medeski86]

Mraz is King

[vova47]

What a waste of a great rhythm section!

[derricksax]
