  • As a lover of jazz trumpet (and Eric Dolphy), I think the incredibly premature loss of the great Booker Little is the greatest of all. And I know of Woody Shaw, Ted Curson, and Lester Bowie.

  • @fjdmusicman

    I ask myself every time I listen to Booker Little whether the intensity in his music has to do with his disease. But it was never the pain caused by the disease that I've thought of. I don't know at what point he knew he had little time left, but he always sounds to me as if he was anticipating all the experience and emotions of years and decades of a life he would never get to live, and putting them into the music. So condensed, almost unbearable.

  • @fanofmozart Ted Curson is still alive !!!

  • @EMCEMITCH Yes, Eric Dolphy at the 5 Spot. Both volumes are my favorite cds of all time! That was the best rendition of Like someone in love... ever.

  • @michaelhintongtr One of my favorite all time albums. In my eyes, Booker is the best trumpet player. He is also an underrated composer, just like Andrew Hill.

  • I cried when I first heard this album.

  • @synkyb : Hey man, I've been thinking this exact thing for years. This music brings tears to my eyes. Very nice observation. Thanks for your thoughts.

  • As far as early passing, one cannot forget Fats Navarro. But jazz may still be waiting for a trumpet player with Booker's sense of emotion and gravity. This track being a prime example.

  • @hueman17 "Hazy Hues".

  • @synkyb "Out Front" by Booker Little. It's a great album.

  • @synkyb "Out Front" by Booker Little. It's a great album.

  • @synkyb ..Booker, Eric dolphy and Andrew Hill changed my musical life.. Although I never reached the mastery on my instrument as they did I was able to share the emotions these men put to music. Pure soul, no pretense, no "fluff". RIP Eric ,Booker Little Andrew Hill, Paul Chambers and all the rest who died way to young and having so much more to offer.
