Check out Eldar Djangirov, especially his Straight No Chaser take with Roy Hargrove at the Blue Note.
He's pretty ridiculous

Who can play piano this well today? This guy has chops to burn! Back to the woodshed.

Some serious bebop vocabulary going on. You can never go wrong with Bud!

@roquefort88888 And that's real genius: the ability to pack a ton of musical "nutrition", if you will, into small spaces...one person might play 100 notes, the other 10, but if they are the right ten notes....that's all that matters.

Precisely.
Like Miles said of Rodrigo - it's "concentrated melody" - the more you do to it, the less it becomes.

131st liker :) That's right! Can't resist old BUDDY here!

@roquefort88888 I'd rather he play fewer notes and say more....Miles Davis expressed more musical richness in five notes than most trumpet players could express in a thousand double-tongued gliassandos...or whatever the fuck they think is impressive...
-
Heh... does he have anything to say?
Mofo's double-tonguing parallel ninths three times a second and you want him to talk at the same time... ; )

@roquefort88888 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!! Just tonight I was ont he bus and these college guys, all musicians, were sitting across from me, and one guy, a trumpet player, went on and on about "the greatest trumpet player in the world", a Russian, because the guy could double-tongue octaves really fast and play really screaming high, and I thought "well who the fuck cares???? Does this motherfucker have anything to SAY"???? So thank you for making this important point !!!!!!!!!!!

This version enlightens me as much as Art Tatum's version. I get shivers listening to this.
