‘Grab This!’ - Johnny Griffin
featuring Paul Bryant on organ

Sorry - - take no notice. Just my juvenile sense of humour.

From what I remember of that record which I once processed, it's a quite "old fashioned" organ, weazing & gurgling away. Not a pretty sight. Or sound.

‘The Tokyo Blues’ - Horace Silver
with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor & John Harris Jr:
Blue Note (1962)

Still on my songs that have ideal changes for improvisation - "All the things etc" and "Star eyes" are both great for this and provided the basis for two modern jazz classic compositions. Kenny Dorham's "Prince Albert" and Jackie Mclean "Capuchin swing. These are two of the best versions

A too often overused word "icon", but SHE most definitely was. RIP.

I would SO MUCH prefer singing in classical music were it done with her type of voice, and think a lot of modern composers, if not all, have seriously taken a wrong course by not questioning conventions and missed big chances to rid the genre of most unfortunate associations. Debussy's opera "Pélleas et Mélisande" would be perfection, and many a famous opera incalculably improved, if it were done using jazz singers. This is the first time I've said this.

Amazing, wonderful stuff! One wishes we had more of such forward-looking Twardzik big band arrangements.
