Gene had of course updated his sound from the original Chicagoans days, but still some Krupaisms remained -- there's no mistaking him. That can be said for all of these jazz voices, though, right? My theory is that today's jazz musicians, irrespective of instrument, have absorbed the sound of so many players, that they don't have the distinctive sound of a, say, Teagarden or Freeman or Russell or Sullivan. It's great to hear Jack doing his old water glass trick on "Blues for Today." Thank you for this!
As always, I'm glad you enjoyed this post. Indeed, there are several unique instrumental voices here and they were all originators of this musical style. Now that you mention it, I'm hard pressed to think of but a handful of contemporary musicians with distinctive voices. As long as they faithfully carry on the tradition that's fine with me.
These guys were SO good but almost never recognized by the jazz critics of the time. Of course hardly surprising. They even put Pops down. Anyway great to hear Gene rediscovering his roots. Eddie had great drummers: Wettling and Leeman and occasionally Gene were all hall-of-famers. Anyway thanks so much for posting this. Very well recorded too.
@@MrKlemps Yes sadly their days of recognition by the critics pretty much ended after WW II with the advent of Bop. Not surprising as you say but this is a band of Jazz legends. I’m very happy that you enjoyed this post.
