Infant Wayne...agree with most of that Ian, but Wayne's early stuff, in context, is very entertaining and no doubt Simon Spillet will be "tributing it" in 20 years or more...at the end of a pier.

BN.

Btw, people forget just how often Wayne appeared as a "journeyman?" sideman on other Bnote period dates...he was a busy geezer.

[Tenor Freak]

I am reminded of Richard Cook's description of Wayne - paraphrasing - he started off as a regulation hard bop tenor man but then became progressively more weird. Amen to that.

I am reminded of Richard Cook's description of Wayne - paraphrasing - he started off as a regulation hard bop tenor man but then became progressively more weird. Amen to that.

But in a good sense!

I was once talking to Evan Parker about the Plugged Nickel sessions, and to my surprise, he admitted to never having consciously listened to Wayne, asking, were they any good? I think that, for various reasons, Shorter has exerted an influence on younger British players when the free generation of tenor players went for 'Trane and Ayler in breaking with second-hand bebop; Pete Hurt surely was one of the first, followed more idiosyncratically by Andy Sheppard - today I would cite Mark Lockheart and Julian Siegel as two fine UK players who have evolved their own styles out of Shorter's distinctive tone and rhythmic and harmonic obliqueness.

West End Blues on Parlophone R448 Probably one of the most influential Jazz recordings (have my 78 playing now)

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Gerry Mulligan Qrt, Blues going up, with Jon Eardley. Gerry says...."we'll máybé play some blues while you get seated" and Red Mitchell et Chico start walking.

MAGIC.
BÑ.

1947 The Bird ...Klaunstance, that opening solo is absolute genius personified.
Armstrong ... Tight like that, Breathtaking and majestic.
Ornette .. Lonely Woman, Always gives me shivers.
Billy Banks Rhythm makers ... Who stole the lock, exilerating, exciting with brilliant chicken (not duck) inspired solo from Henry Red Allen
Lionel Hampton 1939 Ring dem bells with a staggering solo from Cootie Williams
Eric Dolphy Status Seeking from Live at 5 spot - my first hearing of Eric, played that rocketing wild solo so often that I wore the album out.

Outro's
Gil Evans version of Parkers... Bird Feathers, deceptively simple but beautifully voiced orchestration
John Coltrane 1960 But not for me, brilliant long play out of the piece, nobody ever mentions this wonderful Trane piece.....why?
Gil and Miles There's a boat that's leaving soon for New York.... the play out is so cool

There are so many - probably come up whole bunch more tomorrow
