Members LP50 Posted July 17, 2009 Members Share Posted July 17, 2009 Frank Morgan He played with Coltrane back in the day, but spent much of his life in prison for heroin. He was interviewed by Terry Gross on her show Fresh Air on NPR several years ago, and he died just a couple years ago. Here's a link to the interview, which was re-aired a few days after he died: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17354786 He has several albums out, but one of my favorites is City Nights: Live At The Jazz Standard. Good, good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jerry_L Posted July 17, 2009 Members Share Posted July 17, 2009 yellowjackets; if you're looking for some modern jazz. i believe larry carlton plays with them. No, Larry Carlton has never played with them. Jimmy Haslip, their bassist, is a virtuoso, and he sometimes plays guitar, but I don't think they ever had a regular guitarist in the band until 2008, when Mike Stern teamed up with them. They have evolved from an R&B smooth jazz group through fusion to more of a post-bop sound in recent years. Great band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cash Wiley Posted July 17, 2009 Members Share Posted July 17, 2009 Gotta be specific about the jazz I see Tom Waits and MM&W listed, those guys are great but I guess I don't consider them jazz for some reason. We check out Big Bad Voodoo Daddy every time they come around, and Brian Setzer has some jazzy numbers. I tend toward older stuff, Django and Grappelli, of course. Also love Count Basie and Cab Calloway. I guess you'd call my jazz preferences big band swing today. Can't abide Miles Davis or most modern jazz.
