アバクロってジョンスコのプレイが好きなんだな。

[FeitenFan]

I agree totally

[pearbra]

John A, John S and Larry. Yes.

[FeitenFan]

A vote for Larry? Great!!, He hadn't been doing to well in the "voting". Larry is one of my favorites, his new album "Earthquake at the Avalon" is great !!

[ArkRed1]

Damn, let Farlow play some. All these young cats hogging the rides. I wish they would have let Tal take more rides. That's the problem. These young bucks want to impress everyone with how many notes they can play in four beats. Did anybody hear the melody in this post?

[FeitenFan]

I agree, that is a problem with a lot of players, they lose the melody and it becomes "noodling"

[RickInRock84]

Scofield all the way!!!!!

Coryell's solo is just horrible,sorry..

[aaronentresz]

Larry Coryell shouldn't have been at this session. He not only made a goose of himself in his own solo, but he had to ruin the end of the song with that stupid octave thing he was doing. Tal Farlow deserved better than this.

カールトン緊張してるのかな？

[94Harrymitchell]

@ArkRed1 There is a reason Tal didn't take more 'rides', because no one likes texan swing. That Stunk. I hope you are not referring to sco or abercrombie when you say young cats, because they wiped the floor with Tal + Coryell + Carlton.

[Rowlandph]

Geez!...ANYBODY can do what Carlton is doing!...Why is he even THERE??...

I'll be he wouldn't even know half the chords Tal played...if anyone asked him!!..

What an overblown name he has...

[Rowlandph]

What the guy with the glasses and no hair is playing...can be put into ANY song...Nothing at all special about his playing...all memorized and repeaterd licks...

[KABRIS1]

I think Larry Coryell's showboating is hilarious.

[JazzLoverKhurram]

@FeitenFan it's also a question of tempo..it's vey hard to stretch out and play sustained melody at such a breakneck tempo...at jazz sessions they invariably murder this old jazz standard imo by playing it too fast at this" let me show you what I can do" tempo..check out Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis's version from Somethin' else and you'll see what I mean

[JazzLoverKhurram]

@Chromatype it may be true of Larry's jazz playing for the most part but I reckon some of his soloing on his early fusion lps as the best : check out his solos on Room 335 the original takes and some of the live takes in later years..unmatched melodic blues inflected boprock improv lines connected coherently with ebullience dexterity and panache that any hornplayer would be proud of. He appears to have lost much of that early verve and sadly his chops seem to have deteriorated lately

[JazzLoverKhurram]

Scofield's solo was by far the most coherent but Tal's chordal intro trumps them all imho

[JazzLoverKhurram]

@musicbooksyoga1 well said !

[musicbooksyoga1]

This video illustrates so well how guys from Tal's era really seemed to have a better command of the instrument and played musically with a lot more harmonic sophistication whereas the crop that came later are a weak pack of posers in comparison. Where's Joe Pass and Herb Ellis when you need them?
