I like Lyle Mays on 'The First Circle' off 'First Circle'.Ĭheck out Danillo Perez's (+ Brian Blade and John Patitucci) accompaniment of Wayne Shorter during Masqualero on 'Footprints' live.

Ooo the Jarrett Solo on 'I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)' on 'The Melody At Night With You' is amazing - though I don't love the rest of the album so much (its fine but not my favourite Jarrett by any means). I've always like the Herbie Solo on 'There is No Greater Love' off 'Four and More.' Theres a Bill Dobbins transcription of this if you're looking for it. And then to top this recording off the Kenny Garrett Solo which follows is one of the best sax solos I have ever heard. I like the Kenny Kirkland solo off Sing A Song Of Song (Kenny Garrett - Songbook) - It isn't crazy or in one sense particularly outstanding, but Kenny Kirkland swings so much with the band its amazing. (Incidentally if you like Jarrett and you don't know the the track 'Fort Yawuh' (off the album of the same name) you should definitely check it out!) Anyway yeah - check out Prism off Changes (I'm not such a fan of the one of Personal Mountains - though this is a good album). It really feels like a story - it starts, takes you some really exotic place and then takes you back home. Each line really follows the last and leads to the next in the most amazing way. The Solo on Prism is pretty much perfect, in a non-predictable way everything is beautiful and builds in a way that totally makes sense. The Solos on Prism ('Changes'), Questar ('My Song') and Tabarka ('My Song') are all amazing.

I'm also challenged to transcribe his changes. Thanks for sharing a list of recordings I now must buy! His stuff is not just great listening - it's great ear training too. I had no idea of his background or breadth of work. I must confess I'm only recently into Kenny Barron, having discovered him serendipitously while listening to other artist's CDs. Kenny plays a great heavily grooved rhodes solo that has inspired me likeno other.

One of my alltime fav fusion/funk pieces is called 'Do It To It' by Jimmy Owens from1976. also 'Procession' is a great modal jazz tune. I particularly like 'In the meantime' from the Peruvian Blue LP. so much so I tried to transcribe them.Īlso his 1970s solo LPs are pretty cool in the jazz fusion context. I really loved a solo he did on Charles Sullivans CD (Kamal?) and also on an Ed Thigpen CD I once hear. Kenny's harmonic structures, phrasing and technical abilities are second to no one's. I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of others.Īnything by Kenny Barron, especially on the fabulous Stan Getz album 'Bossas and Ballads: The Lost Sessions'.

Plus many other things by Teddy Wilson, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Kirkland, Ahmad Jamal, and just about everything Monk ever played. If you aren't familiar with him, I'd recommend any of the albums he did with Marc Johnson and Joey Baron. In a concert, my fellow Roman Pieranunzi once played a piano solo version of his wonderful tune 'Seaward', which left everybody with their mouth open. Stanley Cowell: 'Equipoise' and 'Dave's Chant', from his extraordinary album 'Equipoise', with Cecil McBee and Roy HaynesĬecil Taylor: Many chunks of the 'Silent Tongues' piano solo suite are really inspired and charged with incredible energy.Įnrico Pieranunzi: 'Seaward'. If forced to choose a few solos, I'd say 'Giant Steps' with Didier Lockwood on violin, 'Solar' from the solo album 'Reasons', and anything he did with Allan Holdsworth. wow, it's impossible for me to choose just one! The whole Miles Davis quintet discography is scatterd with masterpieces, not to speak of his own albums.īritish pianist Gordon Beck has been a major influence on my playing. Also, 'All the Things You Are' from the first 'Standards' albumīill Evans: Among many others, 'Turn Out the Stars' (solo version from 'Live at Town Hall') and 'Time Remembered' (trio version from 'Since We Met') Keith Jarrett: 'Autumn Leaves' with the Charles Lloyd quartet, and 'In Front' (solo piano) from 'Facing You'. I'll mention a few which have been very influential to me sorry for the long list.Īrt Tatum: Just about everything, but I was especially impressed by 'Humoresque', 'Aunt Hagar's Blues', and 'Liza'īud Powell: 'Tempus Fugit', 'Tea for Two', and the whole trio part of the live album 'The greatest Jazz Concert Ever'Ĭhick Corea: The whole 'Now he sings, now he sobs' album
