Mulgrew Miller / Paul Carr - Black Narcissus

[hadokenzero11]

I and the entire Bishop McNamara High School Jazz Ensemble just played with Mr. Carr. He is such an amazing player and his improv skills are fantastic! If you are reading this Mr. Carr, thank you very much for a wonderful performance and good luck with all of your other performances!

In a word...PHENOMENAL!

[tubaSaxChick111]

man this is so Killin.. I just don't get it.. One of these days I hope to really understand and be able to produce phenomenal music just like this.

@tubaSaxChick111 Sorry but after hearing Joe Henderson playing this so many wonderful times and Flora Purim singing it ( Will someone PLEASE post?) this seems to be a bit brutal . Just my opinion.

sounding great Paul!

Why was the theme edited lol? It's, in my opinion, one of the most beautifully composed jazz themes, I think jazz listeners and musicians sometimes care too much about improvisation and forget the composer! Thanks for sharing, anyway, both great soloists. I saw the pianist a couple of weeks ago in Brasília, Brazil with Ron Carter.

Cheers!

@luizcadu I agree that the composer is often forgotten, something I'm sure everybody is guilty of, but a fire is a lot more beautiful than a bunch of sticks. But with the right spark of inspiration, it consumes us.

[bluesnessman]

@luizcadu Yeah I was really pissed off when I saw the theme edited.

I have Paul's latest CD and I think I've played this tune about 100 times and it's been a refreshing and enjoyable experience each and every time. Mulgrew Miller is as inspiring as ever and I'd like to send a special thanks to Paul for his great work with developing and mentoring young jazz artists in the MD, DC and VA area.

This is what I call whiskey sipping good.

Where is my cigar?

[OzBoy196940]

Oh hell yes! Very nice.

I like the gymnasium sound.. adds character.

One little annoyance for me was the piano's squeaky sustain or dolce pedal.. more likely the latter.. particularly towards the end of the intro solo.

Thank you very much.

Steph.
