Hey, cool! I'm a pianist and a major fan of Brubeck and Monk, myself. I had disc four of the Time Signatures box set in my cd player as I read this message! Tritonis is one kickin' song - great latter day Brubeck (playing a different time signature and key signature in each hand!).
Brubeck takes some criticism, but did you know that both Cecil Taylor and Bill Evans liked Brubeck and cited him as an influence? Monk, of course, is almost beyond criticism. Few cover Brubeck; many cover Monk, but almost no-one really *can*! I also enjoy Coltrane and all the Impulse tenors and sax players - Pharoah, Barbieri, etc. Also love Mingus and Steve Grossman and Borah Bergman and Ivo Perelman and Tony Williams and Eric Dolphy and ... Well, I could keep going - but I won't. Maybe I'll go talk Pentax on a music e-group! :-) Rob >Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 10:24:04 EST >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Gettiong Back to Basics > >Ahhh jazz... > >Love it, love it. > >Big time T.
