Hey hey! Don’t sleep on Al Foster who plays amazingly on Blue Mitchell’s The Thing To Do, and Down With It! Some of the most tasty, funky and crispy hard bop drumming i have ever heard and he was only in his early twenties! Ciao!

HI KEN,a very good video but i would assume some of these lps would be hard to find? even more so as i am in Canada! your knowledge and enthusiasm is very inspiring! at age 70 i am still learning so much about this great art form! Cheers

Ken, I don’t care how many people attempt to do what you are doing, but you are irreplaceable. Your style and knowledge of the art form and Bluenote in general is astounding. Being a drummer yourself you bring a unique perspective. You bring new/old music to both the young and old/young at heart.

Really glad that you picked “Blackjack” from Byrd which goes virtually undiscussed by the VC and also “Clubhouse” from Gordon - but really think “Sidewinder” is Higgins at his greatest - the rhythm section of Higgins/Cranshaw/Harris is a machine Maybe Sidewinder is too obvious, but I have never been able to stop listening to my early mono pressing BTW my Blackjack is a Liberty stereo pressing from Keel with van Gelder and the serrated edge - sounds great Great video

That NYC breeze through the window must have felt good. Ken, your drumming expertise really sets these videos apart. I would love to see you break down specific drumming techniques (maybe you use a snare or symbol) then discuss records/players who had their own unique version of that technique. I know very little about drumming, but I've listed to a shitload of jazz so I know the sound of those techniques, but I have no idea about their origin. Maybe you profile one drummer at a time? Anyway, I love how you add some real knowledge to how these players are actually playing. Good stuff Ken!

Thank you. Would love to hear you comment on Paul Motian and Barry Altschul who I grew up listening to their playing on Bill Evans and Anthony Braxton records, respectively. Also not surprised to see All Music Guide give M'Boom Collage a middling review (this is common for many great records). Would love to hear you comment on that as well. Also, maybe a topic for a future video: modern big band drummers.

If you are focusing on Blue Note drummers, what about Pete La Roca? His album with Joe Henderson was pretty WILD. Art Taylor and Ed Thigpin were kings of the brushes.

@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 All good. Not as offensive as calling yourself a jazz fan and being aversive of all drummers. Actually, the worst offense is calling yourself a "jazz musician" and disrespecting the drummer in your band. Jazz ain't shite without a great drummer driving the band. And when there ain't a drummer in the band, you better believe that everyone on stage is doing their best to imagine the best drummer playing along. Afterall, what is jazz without the dance?

Great show Ken, I continuously have to jot down albums to check out that I haven't heard of ! By the way, have you ever featured the great British drummer Phil Seamen ? he was the best in the UK during the 60's and 70's, closely followed by Allan Ganley. Phil chose the matched grip and it can be heard via his style and solo's - freedom / flow and power ! And of the 'younger' US generation, what about Jeff 'Tain' Watts?

This is a great listing of great recordings, but I’m puzzled that you name Philly Joe Jones specifically as a blue note artist. He was a freelancer, he ended up on several great BN records, but didn’t do nearly as many BN sides as, say, Art Taylor. Philly probably did a lot more records on Columbia, perhaps a bunch on Prestige? And dozens of other really important labels. Are you specifically promoting or working for Blue Note?

@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 Ай бұрын

never called him a blue note artist no blue note records under his name. I said he did many sessions for Blue Note. What Columbia records did he play on? Working for Blue Note. You're daft. If anything I am persona non grata as far as BLue Note cause I don't spread the Kool Aid that Tone Poets are better than original pressings. You're daft.
