@@Thouveninpascal it's all relative and subjective, and dem's all just words, the playing with of which require writing chops for clarity. Maybe he means guys playing more traditional swing in the modern era. Like, we in the modern era, but he still likes listening to the guys that play like Prez and Dexter better than he likes Brecker and the rest of them. Whatever style Hamilton is playing, he is playing NOW, in the same modern era as Brecker et al. Or maybe anything after 1939 is modern to homie. Like Mcbride says, "bebop is modern jazz language" . And where do you place Stitt and Ammons? Bop? Soul Jazz? Hard Bop? Neo-swing? Some players float around and defy era categorizations. It's improvised "jazz" music , and it's being played and listened to now. Modern era.
Philippe Pilon Thanks a lot Philippe! I've been figuring what this tune (which i recognised) was called. And yes GA & SS played this on one of their (battles) LP's. Saw Scott several times in Holland and Australia. He's still going strong on (mainly) the European scene, i believe. This is an great tune and Harry and Scott make a great team! Thanks again and cheers!
Saw Scott several times at small jazz clubs during the 70’s in Europa. Must say that this live session is a stand out performance. Specially track #2 composed by the marvellous tenor-swinger “Jug”. Enjoy this swingin’ treat folks. Toodeloo’s & Cheers!
I once walked into a pub in Edinburgh during the jazz festival and got talking to a trombonist (I could tell he was a trombonist by the case he carried, his name was Brian Keddie) who warmed to me when I said I was looking forward to hearing Brian Lemon -- for Mr. Keddie had just had the inspiring experience of playing a gig with the great man, whose playing inspired the creation of the ZEPHYR record company to further extend his discography -- which includes a really beautiful set with Joe Temperley, and another with Sandy Brown, whose pianist he for some time was).
