I am amazed and ashamed that this jazz monster and her band have been completely off my radar until now. What an amazing and unique style! Also, that bassist is also scary good! His solo really compliments Emily's style.
I’ve always loved this combo since it’s beginning, along with Sonny Rollins and”The Bridge”! Jim Hall has great style in soloing and accompaniment!! The supporting musicians are also great!
En 1982 , un des albums des Double Six est réédité. Dans celui-ci, on retrouve : '' Boplicity '' , '' Night in Tunisia '' , '' Naima '' , et d'autres reprises. Alain Gerber, écrivain français et critique de jazz, dira de cet album : '' Ce disque est un miracle '' . 🌅🏖️👍🥂
Boplicity : The music of Miles DAVIS and Rat Race of Quincy JONES put in French text by Les doubles Six and especially Mimi PERRIN ! I’m speechless ! 🤍🤍🤍🥰 😍
I met Joe at U Miami in 1973, had a lesson with Bredice. Joe spent thousands of hours with Slonimsky's Patterns in music. He's the only guitar player with one foot in tradition and yet totally modern, treating melodies based on consecutive 4ths, 5ths, etc as much as the typical thirds and arpeggios. Sadly, like Thelonius Monk, nobody to carry on his direction. I also like he rarely goes above the 12th fret, using the full tenor sax range, rather than the squeeky alto range preferred by most guitar players.
Joe Pass's book explained .."thinking chord" or reharmonize chords, passing chords, is all about harmony, then when you have the harmony ,you can create a melody on it
