Members keric Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I don't care if it's the 1939 New York Philharmonic, the RED grouping of King Crimson, any one of Woody Herman's Thundering Herds, The Sex Pistols, or any other short or long term musical collaboration, who would you list as your favorite? For me, I narrowed it down to three. The Fragile/Close To The Edge grouping of Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Rick Wakeman. The Miles Davis group that recorded Sorcerer, Miles Smiles and Nefertiti; Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, and Herbie Hancock. But my favorite would have to be the quartet of John Coltrane, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison. To this day McCoy remains my favorite pianist. Elvin has been an influence since I first heard "Impressions". I was fortunate enough to see him several time in concert, including one of his last times playing at The Blue Note in NYC before he passed away.
