A lovely bit of jazz

When you hear guys like these play, you have to ask yourself why they are not better known

John, I downloaded some Warne Marsh tracks recently from the album 'New York Live'. (Warne Marsh tenor;Red Mitchell bass;Pete Scatteritico drums)
IMO it is truly exceptional music. Good solo's all round, very well recorded, and swings all the way!

He also recorded some fine stuff with Lee Konitz.

teddy - i'm glad you share my liking for Lee Konitz. That one is great.
gord - I was starting to think that only teddy and I from the Forum shared our love of Big T.
I,m glad to know there is at least one other. Any more out there in the Forum? Please let us know.

Here is one by Jim Tomlinson (see jazz played today Thread)http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=oqn7WUPjrx4
Reminds me of Stan Getz.

hi john, i have been a fan of BIG T for 50 years, and i listen to some of his music every couple of days.
nobody plays the trombone so good and consistant as he does, and also that voice what a jazz singer,
those old lps big ts jazz,the blues and dixie, and the incredable t for trombone, i have almost worn them
out with continually playing them.below is teagarden with a big band singing a spiritual recorded mid 50s. enjoy. gord

Hi teddy and gord,
I dont think there is anything more the 3 of us can say about Big T, for the record I have the following
Cds by him.
T for Trombone; The Jazz legends Series; Father of Jazz Trombone 3CD set; Misery and the Blues;
Texas Teaparty; 4 CD set "Big T"; (plus a number of self produced Selection Cds for my own amusement ie Car player).

Gord. I'm pleased you Like Jim Tomlinson as much as I do. Unfortunately he has mostly subdued himself to fit in with having the roll as accompanying group for his wifes vocal music (Which I like a lot anyway). I'm finding some of his other stuff by researching
Spotify and Youtube. Let me know if you would like more info.
Cheers John

Thanks John. A long time favourite recording of mine. Bought it many years ago and it never ever loses it's magic.
