Tony Adamo and the legendary Headhunters

Members of the legendary Headhunters who backed Herbie Hancock on several recordings have cooked up a new soul groove for Tony Adamo’s remake of the Tower of Power hit, “What is Hip.” Original members Mike Clark (drums), Bill Summers, (percussion) and new Headhunter, Richie Goods (bass) form an insatiable groove that is interwoven throughout this funk/jazz hip/spoken word mash up of a song. Jerry Stucker, who produced and plays guitar on Adamo’s cover of “What is Hip,” is credited with… Continue

In a world where Hip Hop and sampling are taking over, how does a real musician survive?

 

As I listen to the lyrics of artist calling people out of their names and magnifying themselves, I often wonder, where is the real music? The musicianship has gone away from the radio. In fact, the number of Hip Hop stations outnumbers the Jazz Stations. People are being forced to listen to rubbish. With Auto-Tune and all of this wonderful software and plug-ins, anyone can make a CD and people will…

Words With Hulon

Things always seem to get better when you lift others as high as you lift yourself.


To relieve tension, try a little tenderness.


Great things happen when you think great thoughts. Open your mind to new possibilities.
Florida is beginning to get hot this time of year, but I know that it will get even hotter as the months go by. Enjoy the cool weather while you have it and take a dip in the pool to take the edge off. Swimming is great exercise.

Frank Wess Flute Transcription

I have added a transcription of Frank Wess' flute solo on "There Is No Greater Love" to my website:

http://scooby-sax.com/transcriptions.aspx

It's a great example of Frank's melodic sense, his laid-back time feel, and his blues feeling.

Enjoy!

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Barbara Carroll On Piano Jazz

Pianist and singer Barbara Carroll was host Marian McPartland's second guest during the first season of Piano Jazz. Thirty years later, Carroll makes a return appearance to reminisce with her friend about their experiences at the Hickory House and the Oak Room. Carroll gives a charming performance of "Very Early" and McPartland improvises a musical portrait of her guest.

Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight

The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.

Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet

At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.

Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World

The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.

Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections

Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.
