In other news, I heard a while back that the young jazz guitar phenomenon with the same last name as that guy's first name has pretty serious tendonitis.

But looks like he is out playing so either he has dealt with it or is dealing with it.

i don't know who that is, but that's rough. the best jazz guitarist i know had the same thing happen...he took a year off from playing guitar and started doing yoga and writing songs, now is a singer/songwriter.
still plays jazz, but uses more space, and does it on his high school Ibanez shredder guitar rather than the hollow-body.

fwiw I think I had Medicine Hat on CD. Don't love the guy though tbh, a little too cliche bluesy/funky for me.

Yeah, I'm liking the Sperazza a lot so far. Didn't even know about the new Lehman.

Good work with that list. That Jerome Sabbagh album is stunning, need to listen to more of these.

I'm looking for jazz vocalists faves
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 18 December 2014 15:23 (nine years ago) link
curm, this has a jazz vocalists faves section:Francis Davis presents his round-up of jazz crits. Intrigued by descriptions of ones I've missed, and his comments on others are mostly right-on (incl. his push-back against high ranking of Moran's half-good Waller project). But, despite Davis's opening caveats, Rollins' Road Shows Vol. 3 doesn't seem quite right for Top 10, much less No.4, considering that SR has set the bar very high---and the octogenarian diabetic doesn't spare himself on the longest tracks, or the 8-minute-plus "Solo Sonny"---but sounds like he should, just a bit (another kind of self-discipline). Still, "Patanjali" is so fucking tight, reminds me again that I need to check out yoga, and will make my P&J Singles (the album was on there for a while, and would make a Top 20)(History is a very well-chosen 2014 Rollins anth, on Spotify just below RS V3)

Your subtitle on the new thread suggests that once can't post there unless they go to Smalls...You New Yorkers
