#32: Red Garland, piano, played with Curtis Fuller on the album of same name.
#33 George Shearing, piano (composer of Lullaby Of Birdland)
Well, this is turning into a tango for two here. I know what you were after, but most seem interested in just listing who plays what instrument. I was hoping that someone would take off from Getz and mention Joao Gilberto, or make some associations from Tommy Dorsey’s tunes. Maybe it ain’t dead yet…?
Yeah, Chefguy, but at least you’ve made it interesting with the shifts so far.
Speaking of Dorsey tunes I’ll Never Smile Again, right?
I saw your mention of Gilberto in the thread on distinctive voices and wanted to commend your choice. One of a kind. And so fine.
Hm. I’ll bite.
#34 Tito Puente, timbales, New York NY.
George Shearing played piano on his '85 recording of “Lullabye of Birdland” on the Mambo Diablo album.
#35- Herbie Mann, flute, also from New York NY.
#36 Steve Gadd, drums. Played on Herbie Mann’s album Surprises in 1976.
#37 Donald Fagen, keyboards (Steve Gadd played any number of sessions for the Steely Dan recordings, and yes, Fagen is a jazz player)
#38 Wayne Shorter, tenor sax, played with Fagan in Steely Dan
#39 Miles Davis, Trumpet (yes, it did take a while before somebody succumbed to the temptation not to be the first to mention Miles – it’s done now. Oh, Shorter was in Miles’s group for quite a while. Some feel it was Miles’s best group after the Coltrane one.)
#40 Can’t exlude Charlie “Bird” Parker, Saxophone.
#41 John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie, Trumpet, co-founder of BeBop with Parker, Powell, Monk, Christian, Kenny “Klook” Clarke, Max Roach and others
#42 I’m tempted to throw in Sonny Rollins who I really wanted to throw in under Shelly Mann (for Way Out West) but instead I’ll put up Lee Morgan, Trumpet.
#43 Jymie Merritt, bass. Played on Lee Morgan’s album Live at the Lighthouse.
