@jazz1bro you should put that on your resume when you hunt for a job.

@tristramshandy3 Thank you, I never heard of him but I started checking out Montaigne
-
@tristramshandy3 Well, I think, quite many people understand more and more of a music by listening to it over and over again (or by listening to similar music).

@fiftieslover I don't know if one can "train" him or herself to dig this sound- you either have it or don't; it either speaks to you or doesn't. I might be wrong, but that's how I feel about it right now.
Read the essays of Montaigne.
It's the greatest book ever published :)

It seems unfair that there is Coltrane, Rollins and the others... and Hank Mobley is one fabulous player, the personification of the Blue Note sound, and should be regarded higher... he is so pleasing to listen to... what Leonard Feather meant by "middlewieght" seem weird too, maybe a little too obtuse... sometimes I think Hanks's tone is the best of all of 'em!

Miles said that Hank Mobley didn't inspire him. So what. Not all musicians play in a style that compliments the other, and when that happens, a personnel change is made. Miles was the bigger fish. Hank went bye-bye. Happens. At that time, Miles was searching for the net iteration of himself....as he said, " that was the time I had started playing short solos and leaving the bandstand.." he was searching for the right sound for that time, and Hank wasn't it. Great player, though...

@ssminopoopy You are so right. One question: what did Miles say about Hank Mobley?



One of the most uplifting jazz standards ever. Mobley was a supremely gifted player, regardless of what Miles thought of him. And let's not overlook the amazing Wynton Kelly on piano - what taste, swing, and passion!!!
