This is awesome! Have you read Lewis Porter's amazing musical biography?
cheers, Bill
I listened to the first 3 and the Jimmy Cobb thing is great, "Crazy like a fox," he describes Trane.
I have not read that.
How about my young student Bill?
When my buddy Tom heard him he said,
"Congratulations, you've created a student that plays just like you."
Now, if Chicken Little was talking about the young fellow who played on Thursday night, I would beg to differ. He sounds good, but he still plays a lot more notes.
I don't think that he really sounded much like you, except for the fact that y'all were playing bebop oriented tunes.
I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the laid-back nature of his playing. Most "young guns," as an old buddy likes to call them, tend to get up in your face with their playing, and this guy showed a good deal of restraint.
