    Another of my faves. I got to take a lesson with him once at his parent’s house in Woodland Hills.

    That had to be interesting/amazing. I've had Chord Chemistry for decades and every time I look at it I just think "how?".

    Mentioned in the @sawiton list is the world's best student of the guitar, Ted Greene. This video provides some clues how his understanding of music and the guitar were so very, very deep from study... he's improvising Bach and teaching a student Bach's harmonic tendencies:

    This is very cool! It kinda reminds me of a Jerry Reed video where he describes how he thinks about voice leading and chords.

    Billy Cobham, Spectrum

    Not only is this a really good album, but Massive Attack sampled the crap out of it for Blue Lines, so anyone who is familiar with Blue Lines will also be instantly familiar with this one too :)

    I love Jazz Musicians that make music my wife will enjoy and that usually means something she can dance to. The organist Larry Goldings mines the world of pop, soul and jazz to hit her in the groove box:

    That's John Scofield playing the guitar leads.

    I need to look for these Jerry Reed videos. Nashville Jerry Reed right? The guy that acted in those Burt Reynolds movies? Legendary Nashville studio player, Jerry Reed?

    I was learning Jobim’s Triste, so he wrote down some voicings for me. That was forty years ago and I still can’t play them. Ridiculous LH stretches.

    Yeah, that's the one. I can't find the video now. He was talking about how he composes the lines thinking about the bass and the lead but then fills in with whatever is "nearby" for the middle voices. It's all very self-effacing as you would expect, but the insight to how he must have actually been thinking was pretty cool.

    :smiley: Awesome! I've got fairly small hands, so I can definitely relate.

    Don't take my word for it... Rick Beato shows you (what maybe) the greatest solo of all time:

  • Oscar Peterson Trio for the moment for me; I like Ray Browns bass lines a lot:


  • Chef-d'oeuvre:

    Probably Woody Shaw. Each instrument has a favourite player though.

    I liked him a lot too. Even caught him live once. What a sad ending though.

    So cool you saw him live. Stepping Stones is such an amazing record. Yes, sad last few years.

  • I think one of the most underrated figures in modern jazz is John Zorn. Not just for his own ability on the sax, but for the situations he created for other musicians. I saw his Masada jazz band live and I think that band are up there with the best. John Zorn, Dave Douglas, Greg Cohen, and Joey Baron. Amazing.

    Some folks not mentioned as of yet…

    Lester Young
    Sun Ra
    Ahmad Jamal
    Coleman Hawkins
    Ben Webster
    Charlie Christian
    Max Roach
    Elvin Jones
    Milt Jackson
    John Lewis - huge influence on me for his beautiful, one note melody lines and compositions

  • edited February 2022

    Lyle Mays
    Jacob Collier
    George Duke
    Cory Henry
    Reinhold Heil

    And sometimes drawing inspiration from Frank Zappa. Not because he's a typical Jazz musician but because he mixed musical styles in a playful yet tasty way that would do good to the music of many other Jazz musicians.

    I think Rosewood was my favorite album of his. Haven’t heard it in decades though.

    Ben Webster is my favorite tenor player. I usually listen to his records with strings:

    A tip for development after you find a few albums you like: find out who the other players were on those records, and look at what else they’ve done. Rinse and repeat.

    That's how I found a lot of jazz, after I discovered that almost any song that credited Idris Muhammad as drummer would appeal to me.

    Miles Davis takes up the largest chunk of space in the music I have. Outside all the obvious choices I really like Agharta and Pangea from the electric period as stuff from him that doesn’t get that much exposure. I really like the guitar on these.

    Good stuff. It is hard to beat the guitar combo of Pete Cosey and Reggie Lucas.

    He's a genius. He works with a lot of artists and publish an album each 5minutes. And it's always good.

  • Can’t think of much to add to what is already here, but I think it really depends on what you mean by ‘jazz’, as that covers a lot of ground.

  • I listen to a lot of the new jazz musicians, but my favs are still in the old school jazz mostly.

    Louis Armstrong
    Art Tatum
    Miles Davis
    Clifford Brown
    Duke Ellington
    Nat King Cole (his jazz piano playing is awesome - rarely gets credit for it, sadly)

    For example, take the album featuring Stolen Moments and ask which member of the Oliver Nelson Septet is not listed on the cover?

    Agreed. Even when he’s just the composer, not player (which is most of the time now), his groups always features the best instrumentalists and improvisers. I’m thinking back to the heyday of Tonic on the lower east side of Manhattan. Nothing around now in NYC that compares, even the Stone.

    John Zorn is incredible (plus the various projects he’s been involved in i.e. Naked City, et al.).

    I have this deep need for Cory Henry to get together with Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes and do a cover album of Allman Brothers songs. If he did a Funk Apostles cover album of Booker T. & the M.G.'s I'd be pretty damn happy too.
