still not sure if i like lovano. somebody please prove me wrong, i want to like the guy so bad, i just can't. i can't place it. something about the whispery reed effects he's always got, his solos are a little sporadic, i don't know. somebody prove me wrong, please.
you are hearing it right, but i guess he's just not your cuppa tea. His tone is great to me, he's got that old tenor-man sound on ballads, which is sorely missing nowadays. Also his solos I think are great, not just a constant stream of quavers, and more convoluted and unexpected rhythmically, again something i really like that only joe and a few others do.
@guitargodfather1 Well, I also did not knew Joe Lovano, even once I underrated him wrongly before listening one of his tracks. The first recording of him that I got is "From The Soul" from Blue Note Records. I think you can give it a try, also here at You Tube you can listen "Lines And Spaces", in my opinion one of the best tracks of that album.
@guitargodfather1 Are you just listening to him on YouTube? Because his tone is anything but whispery. I've played with him a lot and I can assure you that he has one of the biggest, warmest, most awe-inspiring tones of anyone in jazz. I mean, he belongs on the list of the greatest tenor sounds in history. No joke. But if you really think his solos are sporadic, I don't know what to tell you. The man speaks volumes through his horn and I understand him. Nothing sporadic about it to me.
@dangerbooboo You know, I can see that. This is really the response I was looking for, because something about him stuck out to me, but I'm listening more and more and quickly realizing that it's a good thing. You get so used to the usuals like Coltrane and Rollins, it's easy to miss the gems of guys like Lovano. He's really different, I think I was trying to liken him to some of my favorites when he really belongs in a category on his own.
@guitargodfather1 I've known him for years and through all of his evolution as a player, that's the one thing that hasn't changed: amazing tone. His conceptual thing has evolved, too, but it was still very much formed even in his younger days. He is truly a giant of jazz and—you said it best yourself—in a category all his own.
@guitargodfather1 The first time I ever played with him, he came to one of my gigs and entered through the back. No one knew he was there. I'll never forget it. We were playing Sandu, I was blowing and I had my head down as I often do. I never saw him coming. I finished my last chorus and this incredible wall of sound was right in my face. He was maybe five feet away. I could feel every note in my chest. Go hear him play and sit right up front. You'll see what I'm talking about. :P
I met Hank's tour manager at north sea a couple of years ago, he said 'he is the most unpleasant man he had ever known'. I guess appearing sweet and old says nothing about how someone really is. Lovano is apparently a lovely guy tho
@OriceJenkins I met Hank Jones about thirty years ago and we chatted for a while in a coffee shop in New York There was nothing unpleasant about him then either. He was a sweet guy and a great jazz musician.
@StrideBatty76 It's one of the best places in the world for live jazz.. the Bimhuis in Amsterdam. Great sound, wonderful atmosphere.. the best musicians in the world a hair's breath away from you, just as if they were playing in your living room.
I saw Michael Brecker's piano player play in a sweater and jeans, briefly talked to Patricia Barber and got her autograph for a friend. If you're in amsterdam.. there ar two places you shouldn't miss.. Bimhuis and Alto. Amsterdam is one jazzy town!
And how sad news for this week... some people should last forever. RIP Hank Jones! May you find the best musicians in heaven and have the supreme gig!
Oh ok, and they just don't play the head? I was wondering if it's a written melody over the body and soul changes, but I guess it doesn't sound like that.
I was listening to the records on the CD. I can hear someone speaking in the background especially when Hank plays the piano (even in the samples in Amazon) Do you hear that? A bit annoying... But anyway great performance!!!
This is at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, very, very nice jazzclub, it's very atmospheric to see the city at night in the background with the musicians playing on stage.
I'd wish Hank would return one more time, Joe Lovano is a frequent guest here in the Netherlands, he recently came with the San Francisco Jazz Collective.
Just amazing. These are 2 giants. Lovano is so great and Hank Jones continues to play so tasty...I have many sides with Hank Jones, going back to the Savoy days. GREAT!!! Thanks for posting.
They do work quite well together, don't they. Just goes to show the power of the music, how two men from different backgrounds and eras, can come together and create something very beautiful.
The song is the title track from Joe's album I'm All For You. It's just a head he wrote on the changes to Body and Soul. On this take he plays the melody rather loosely leaving it sounding totally improvised, so check the album to better understand what he's playing. He's just following in the footsteps of Tristano, Marsh and Konitz (and Bird before them) by composing more rhythmically/harmonically complex melodies over an existing popular chord sequence. Check out Hank with Warne Marsh...
This song is Body and Soul. It might be a bit unrecognizable since neither of them play the actual melody. They're really just playing on the changes of the tune. It's still gorgeous though! I can't believe how great Hank sounds in his late 80s. For another example of a pianist playing amazing stuff at an advanced age check out Artur Rubinstein in his final years.
Actually Kenny this is a tune called "I'm All For You" written by Joe Lovano, using the changes of Body and Soul. It's on his Ballads album with the same title... great album.
haha i wish man. im on my L's and mum said if i could drive there myself i could go but i dont think my drivings up to it :( im seeing them at the opera house so should still be awesome i got great seats.
The great, great Hank Jones. Lovano is wonderful here, not unlike Getz in his better moments. Jones brings out the most sensitive, profound nuances in those he plays with. And what a model in aging gracefully, and oh so musically. Beautiful.
im pretty sure he plays on a francois louis mouthpiece guys, at least thats what he said on his website. About the Florida Link, i was lucky enough to get one in near mint condition a couple of months ago for the grand total of....*drum roll*......$150! At first i thought it was impossible but the guy i got it from was a retired sax player who bought the mouthpiece some 20 years ago and didnt even know what it was. it was the best 150 dollars ive ever spent
Sublime. We need two posting threads...for all the guys like me who just want to say that they appreciate the artistry...and, another for you cats to talk about reeds, mouthpieces, action, horns, and the like.....
Yeah! Is uncle Joe back on his trusty Balanced Action?
This is what musicianship is all about. I love the way they blow life into this most beautiful (but also over-played) of ballads. Two masters at work. So rich, so relaxed, so fluent.
Hey people. Don't get into the Florida model hype. Sure there are some fine models available and they're hard to beat but quality-control at that time (not unlike now) was pretty disastrous. That means that you can spend a ridiculous amount of money and get a dud. Buy a stock metal or rubber Link and send it to a mouthpiece refacer who will make it play as well, if not better as those over-hyped Florida Links.
What are top 3 best mouthpieces (any material) on the alto for playing jazz and gives rather a slight brighter tone? I 'm thinking of buying a metal mouthpiece for my alto and i dont know which ones are suitable. I heard that Otto Links and Meyers are pretty good. Any suggestions?
wuts the difference between metal and nonmetal(ebonite) mouthpieces? do metal ones give you a more brighter and louder sound? wut do u suggest for a metal mouthpiece and wut do u suggest for hard rubber or ebonite (nonmetal) mouthpiece?
its all a matter of preference. i would try a meyer nonmetal and maybe an ottolink metal one. ive used both, but the ottolink was for tenor. the meyer was a great alto mouthpiece. i think mine was a 6.
If you want a good metal Otto Link, buy a Florida model and be prepared to pay. I liked the Bobby Dukoff metal. They are also reasonably priced and can accept a wide variety of reed facings. Good luck.
Daigle 65,thanks about that remark,,,I was sure that was still on that Borgani,,,whatever Joe Plays he still sound like Joe!!You are right about his Balance Action,though what a fabulous sound he gets out of it!
Thanks again for making me realise what tenor he is on that video!
Duo from heaven absolutely! So strong and creative.. We miss you Hank!

Hey people. Don't get into the Florida model hype. Sure there are some fine models available and they're hard to beat but quality-control at that time (not unlike now) was pretty disastrous. That means that you can spend a ridiculous amount of money and get a dud. Buy a stock metal or rubber Link and send it to a mouthpiece refacer who will make it play as well, if not better as those over-hyped Florida Links.

How wonderful to watch and to hear the respect and love between these two artists. This is beyond taste and a privilige to hear.

What are top 3 best mouthpieces (any material) on the alto for playing jazz and gives rather a slight brighter tone? I 'm thinking of buying a metal mouthpiece for my alto and i dont know which ones are suitable. I heard that Otto Links and Meyers are pretty good. Any suggestions?

metal is no good on alto (i think). i used a Meyer they are pretty good. Otto Link = good tenor mouthpeice.

wuts the difference between metal and nonmetal(ebonite) mouthpieces? do metal ones give you a more brighter and louder sound? wut do u suggest for a metal mouthpiece and wut do u suggest for hard rubber or ebonite (nonmetal) mouthpiece?
McMingDynasty 4 years ago
its all a matter of preference. i would try a meyer nonmetal and maybe an ottolink metal one. ive used both, but the ottolink was for tenor. the meyer was a great alto mouthpiece. i think mine was a 6.

If you want a good metal Otto Link, buy a Florida model and be prepared to pay. I liked the Bobby Dukoff metal. They are also reasonably priced and can accept a wide variety of reed facings. Good luck.

They sound so good together, but why no theme? "Body and soul" is such a great tune!

Its Joes own version of that tune. He calls it "I'm all for you"
