Love me some Walt.

I really should sell all my git shi and learn to play vibes; strip the padding off the mallets to expose the hard rubber, turn off the fan, choke up like Bud Harrelson....

And dats a lil bit o'Philly love up in there what with his high Ra-ness. Philly is almost as interesting as a vibe city as a bass city....

Hard to pick a fav'rite Walt--here's another Philly-connected mallet guy working the seam (with a whole passel o'Jazzadelphians to boot):



Sounds of Liberation--New Horizons

[Chankgeez]

[Dandolin]

Thx!

And this is what youtube cued up for me next--I like!



Horace Tapscott - - Peyote Song # III

[Chankgeez]

From East Coast to West Coast to Third Coast:

[Dandolin]

Ooh.

By all means, let us embark on a Ronnie Boykins odyssey....





Roland Kirk Quartet - - Why Don't They Know?

*whereisthat incredible sunracutfrom 60or61?*

Ah. There it is--'twas '63--some prime Boykins bounce and funkentelechy:



Sun Ra--Moon Dance

[Dandolin]

OK--sry for post saturation, but I'm here, and likely gone tomorrow.

Just going to leave these two alternate takes on well-trod allusion (with no connection to the better known KC album other than that both composers were evidently listening to the Beeb in '54):



Stan Tracy Quartet--Starless and Bible Black



Michael Garrick Jazz Orchestra - - Starless and Bible Black

[Chankgeez]

OK--sry for post saturation, but I'm here, and likely gone tomorrow.

Here's something to hold you over until you return:

[Dandolin]

And what a damn fine note to go out on

Cecil, of course, and Lonnie at this point in his career=

But dat Jimmy Hopps....

And now he's brought me around in my mind to Harold Vick and the impossibility of getting a usable copy of The Caribbean Suite with my man Bobby the Hutch (Amazon left me hanging for a full year claiming they had a line on a copy). Well, thank goodness for youtube for a couple of cuts anyway...



Harold Vick--Dance of the Zombies

and back to Pharoah (with the help of some stunning dual bass work) who always delivers the love afaic.



Pharaoh Sanders--Love in Us All

(When I perfect this damn time machine first thing I'm gonna do is drag Sonny Sharrock to this sesh so we for sure get love fuzz in us all everywhere....)
