If I was to look at all the jazz albums I've heard probably the instrument with more presences is the BASS. I find it essential, usually consider bass players great musicians and composers. Yet I rarely like bass solos, specially the long ones. Having said that I want to confirm that this one I play countless times. Amazing album. Just look at the credits... Joe Chambers Jack DeJohnette Herbie Hancock Joe Henderson John McLaughlin Miroslav Vitous --- Bass, with a lot of solos
The album he is on with Roy Haynes and Chick Corea is really good. It was the reason I originally got a flat ride.
Just put disc 2 on (reg. box cd). It is pretty smokin'. I still haven't gotten around to buy the set - my public library has it, so I just borrow it when I am in the mood for it. Definitely will buy it eventually.
That was a great band. Wish I had picked up that one and the DIW albums back in the day. Etudes, the record they did for Soul Note, which I think was the first one the did where it was credited to Haden & Motian, is one of my faves.

????????? Jazz Quiz ????????? Early 60s, Ron Carter and Elvin Jones in a song about snow. Which album I'm I talking about? ????????? Jazz Quiz ?????????
Now on the turntable, "Roll Call" performed by Hank Mobley, Freddie Hubbard, Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers on Blue Note.
Miles Davis - Round About Midnight (Columbia) MoFi mono lp It's been a while since I last played this classic.
Ron Carter, Elvin Jones and many more were part of the sessions The track is "La Nevada" (snowfall). And yes, the album is "Out of the cool". One of my "desert island" jazz albums.
Basra is one of my faves. The super minimal drum solo on the title track... Joe Henderson's tone... Love it. The Connoisseur Series LP is very decent (and affordable) incidentally.
Matthew Shipp - Zer0 Listening to the actual album now, which is excellent, but i listened to the bonus disc last night, which is a recording of a spoken word lecture that Shipp gave at the Stone. Don't expect a speech for the ages; at times he hits his stride but some of the more obviously written parts are a bit stilted. Still, i like Shipp's personality and i enjoy listening to him talk.
