  • janice robinson on the bone

  • that short fill of mel just before the last theme. What drive, what beat. Just a fantastic melodic interpretation of a drumfill!

  • I would have loved to have heard The Great One movement with Dee Dee Bridgewater, if she sang on this tour.

  • melba moore

  • Thank you very much for uploading those videos, it's incredible.

    Thanks to Thad Jones, one of the greatest jazz arranger of all time :D

  • In my opinion 'Suite For Pops' presents particular interpretive problems for the contemporary soloist - The suite is, after all, dedicated to Louis Armstrong. So perhaps a post-mainstream; hard-bop; modal; free approach etc. was felt to be inappropriate.

    In my opinion the piano solo is hardly 'state of the art' either.

    For me both soloists appear to be favoring 'devices', maybe they were attempting to give their contributions the correct 'character'?

    ....Whatever.

  • Well played sir

  • Well - she's no Willie Hall

  • She's terrible. You can tell she has ideas, but she's just too slow figuring out the notes and finding all the correct positions. She sounds too unconfident.

  • Oh yeah, I forgot to explain WHY I disliked her playing.

    There isn't enough power, varying dynamics, interesting phrases to keep me interested.

    She isn't a bad trombonist at all, just not up to the task of being a Thad Jones BB soloist, in my humble opinion.
