What Jazz are you listening to now?

[cloughie]

Slick - now there's a word you don't often hear these days. It's become so ubiquitous - slickness that is - that everyone just seems to acept it, whether it be from the salesperson or the smiling politician whom I just saw on BBC1. We have a very slick tenor saxophonist coming to our neck of the woods in a couple of weeks' time: I shall be going along for the rest of the band, who are excellent without the techical smugness I would use for defining the word.

Yes, Slick, I like, says what it means!

It has nothing to do with Grace, however!

(She never left MUSHROOM for disagreement with that song, did she?)

‘Judgment!’
Andrew Hill with Bobby Hutcherson, Richard Davis & Elvin Jones
Blue Note (1964)

Ian, cloughie, I think you'll find 'sick' in the sense I use it is a perfectly cromulent word.

The trouble is that most will think you mean cr*p, sh*t or similar!

Magic!

Followed (or preceded in that instance, quite possibly) by mushroom!

Strange there’s another thread discussing Airplane Mode - Grace gets everywhere it seems!

Kenny Dorham, Joe Henderson, Ronnie Mathews, Steve Davis, J C Moses - Live at the Flamboyan Jan1963 playing "I can't get started". Lovely solos from KD and Joe despite a dreadfully out of tune piano that Ronnie Mathews has to contend with and yet he still plays a fine solo.

While a question mark still hangs over the quality of Kurt Rosenwinkel's compositions, there can be no question that he is a profoundly good soloist.
