God I love this music. Can't remember my gateway drug. Possibly Lester Young through Lady Day but think I was born with it.
Parents dug West Coast, Cal Tjader fans in fact!
Jazz has been perhaps my greatest love affair. I do credit dad with handing me Pharoah Sanders & Coltrane Live in Seattle at age 10 or 11... Also as a horn player - I loved Miles Davis endlessly, until I heard Don Cherry.
my parents' only jazz was Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, etc...i loved the BG immediately as a child and when i was in jr. high we'd cut school & go to my father's house. all we had was his record collection. 1 beatles'; 1 CCR; ...so we'd smoke herb and i eventually put on the Benny Goodman. lo and behold my friends all dug it!
Isn't it incredible how large and infinitely expressive jazz is?
Elegant,brainy and raw. I loved Miles too,and Don Cherry... Pharoah Sanders and Yusef Lateef...on & on.
Ornette wunna the Heaviest...& that Band !
Altho' - being raised in the matrix of Psychedelia (Jimi Hendrix, Floyd. 'I Am the Walrus') - it's hard to see what the big deal was in 1959 w/ it !...
Thing about Ornette was - it was always Expressive & Emotive. He certainly had Theory, but it was in service to a Statement - once relates to, always remembered.
Miles was such a Stylist, & so Schooled - it's understandable. But in the end, not interested in standing still. Coltrane bridged the worlds of Discipline & Freedom more completely - but even he got to where he was just beating on his chest because he had no more to play...
