...C'mon now...wake up y'all...Here we have three unique & talented Tenor players, each with a distinct voice...We can learn from them all, as opposed to some ridiculous idea that ones voice/phrasing/technique is better or worse than the other...Open ears are where it's at...😎

Adams added some nice variety to the solos! I He seems to use a lot of Albert Ayler's avant-garde phrasing and overtones. Its ALL good!

I first saw Johnny Griffin on the Jazz Mobile at Grant's tomb when he just came back from Europe, the first thing I noticed was all the Great horn players in the crowd. I took a picture of Johnny tacking a breath, I was blown away I thank God that I have ears to hear this music. After the set I got a chance to talk to him he said to me "study, practice and play what you feel and don't worry about it".RIP and thank you for the music.

Whether with Don Pullen or himself, George Adams is a musical impresario and completely fearless. Jazz history is fill with many talented and superb tenor saxophonists. George Adams is within the top ten.

@johnvalentine3456 2 жыл бұрын

George's time seems off here...rushing ahead of himself in places, then playing 'out' to make up for it...he does find his way back though, so obviously feels where he is in the 12 bar form. Love Johnny, oh yeah. But Joe knocks it out of the park here. And Joe played convincingly 'out', with incredible time (see youtube videos from '67 in Europe with Kenny Drew Jr. et al), just not here, where instead he gives bop, hard bop, post bop, rhythm and harmony lessons for days in the most realaxed, swinging way possible, with the greatest tenor saxophone sound imaginable, on one damn solo!

amateurs? jesus. get a fucking clue. the level at which they are playing the blues is quantum levels above any amateur. you are clueless and an asshole. i don't usually play the "post some of your own stuff" card, but, really, post 12 bars of a blues, and show us you are qualified to use words like "amateur" to rate a master like Griffin. Or Adams. You obviously aren't. No matter what was played before or after him, Henderson did not "make" anybody sound like an amateur. Because they didn't. jerk off blah blah blah from a wanker. There are bits in all their solos that are astounding. Astounding. Adams played some riffs I never even dreamed of. Beautiful stuff, right in the pocket, playing off the rhythm section, as your ears would tell you if they were open to learning from a MASTER. Fucking youtube wanker blah blah. it's so tiresome.

By the way, respect to anybody who watches and digs this - here in the midst of the Musical Dark Ages. Where do you see dedication like what lies behind & beneath all this?

Funny to watch how the differences in body language reflect the playing of the Horn. This is very obvious when they start trading fours at 6;43. Adams is all over the place with both his playing and gestures, very wild. Griffin just aims for some well placed climaxes and Henderson keeps very cool placing his personal ideas exactly where he wants them.
