Dec 2, 2008 - was the distancing mainly because Diz went on to experiment with afro-cuban stuff and Bird was playing more straightup bop? (i'm generalizing from the work i've heard)

Dec 2, 2008 - I've only heard the Massey Hall quintet version, so it's cool hearing it arranged for a big band.

Dec 2, 2008 - No he isn't being goofy, he is just expressing himself...maybe by todays standards of how you ought to be it looks goofy..in this day in age eit is all about looking hard and determined but there are other expressions that communicate other feelings and to a contemporary eye it may seem goofy upon superficial examination, but if you understand the music you see that these men were incredibly talented gifted musicians who invented and amazing new type of Jazz music.

elguitaro Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - If this is from '47 it could very well be the same Big Band that Gillespie recorded Manteca with:Dave Burns, Elmon Wright Jr., Benny Bailey (trumpets, though there is an extra trumpet in the section), William Shepperd, Ted Kelly (trombones), John Brown, Howard Johnson (alto saxophone), Joe Gayles, George "Bick Nick" Nicholas (tenor saxophone), Cecil Payne (baritone saxophone), John Lewis (piano), Al McKibbon (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums -- though it could very well be Roach)

elguitaro Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - FYI got that information from Martin/Waters text "Essential Jazz: The First 100 Years, 2nd ed," pg. 146.Manteca was recorded in 1947 with that group along with Chano Pozo on congas. Great tune.

Dec 2, 2008 - It's not Kenny Clarke, but Max Roach on drums.

vova47 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - It´s neither. The drummer is without a doubtnone other than Joe Harris, who worked w. Dizzy from 1946 to 1948.

gulliver38 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Désolé, mais c'est Max Roach, il est très reconnaissable, de même que son jeu. Joe Harris auquel vous faites allusion, n'était peut-être pas titulaire à 100%....... !Pardon de m'expliquer en français, mais jusqu'à preuve du contraire, c'est la langue que je possède le mieux, ..... et pour cause !

vova47 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Merci pour votre commentair bien que vous aveztort. Je connait tous les deux tres bien,et je suis 100% sure. Sincerement votre, V.

gulliver38 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Tanks for your answer in english. I try to answer in english also but it is not easy. OK for this drummer, you look so sure ! But I Have got a big doubt !Sincerely
