Bilbo Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jackson is left with no nuts after grooving them off w. Robben Ford (guitar), Jimmy McGriff (organ), Bernard Purdie (drums), and the horn section of Phil Woods (alto), Bob Berg (tenor) and Art Farmer (trumpet). If you don't 'get' it, you have no pulse.

Earbrass Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I was expecting something much weirder...then I realised I was confusing Anthony Jackson with Anthony [i]Braxton[/i]... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 That's fantastic, really enjoyed that. Clip 2 is great as well. I've only ever played with brass once and I loved it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Good reminder for these Bilbo - AJ knows no boundaries. It's always refreshing to hear how relentless and inventive he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakenewmanbass Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jackson has an immense groove and a really brilliant sense of ideas, he propels and supports and is seemingly unfaltering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love listening to those 80's Japan concerts, with the likes of Grusin, Gadd, LA big band etc. Some great posts on this thread.

Brendan[/quote] Yes the new Hiromi album is great - it's probably her best for ages in fact, AJ is killing on it, just grooving like a mutha and nailing all the unison lines in his own particularly cool way - his b-lines and backup playing is its usual impeccable/inspiring self - well worth getting hold of. FYI he's in London for three nights in July with Hiromi and Steve Smith at Ronnie Scott's - I've seen Hiromi live several times and she's always great value, and I've been lucky to hear AJ twice (once at the 55 Bar with Wayne Krantz and Keith Carlock, which was amazing) and once with Mike Stern at Ronnie's - based on those performances I think these trio gigs will be killing: [url="http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/performances/view/602-hiromi-the-trio-project-featuring-steve-smith-and-anthony-jackson"]http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/performances...anthony-jackson[/url] Also another new AJ album that's well worth checking out is with him back with Steve Khan and Dennis Chambers on an album called 'Parting Shot' - it's very cool stuff - like a slightly more laid back version of the Eyewitness band - but full of great group improv and really musical grooves - more on that here: [url="http://www.abstractlogix.com/xcart/product.php?productid=25109"]http://www.abstractlogix.com/xcart/product...productid=25109[/url] I'll be at one of the Hiromi gigs - so maybe see some of you there Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic_Groove Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks Mike: I've got the CD on pre-order so really looking forward to it. Now I need to see if I can make one of those gigs should be great. Seen Hiromi a couple of time too with Tony Grey on bass -- he great too!

Bilbo Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Another great lp with AJ on was called French Toast. Mostly Michel Camilo tunes but a bigger band with horns. Worth looking for. Peter Gordon – french horn Lew Soloff – trumpet Jerry Dodgion – alto sax Michel Camilo – piano Anthony Jackson – bass Dave Weckl – drums Steve Gadd – drums Sammy Figueroa – percussion Gordon Gottlieb – percussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he did it but he put it back on pretty fast! Anyway, I was thinking of the track below earlier today. It's from one of Simon Phillips solo albums. Simon is a fantastic drummer who played with Big Country at one point. He has some great fusion chops, and Anthony's playing on this tune is amazing. It's huge and listening to him is often akin to like having a grand piano churning away in the background when he hits some of those low notes. This is great fusion too, very tuneful and groovy.

Bloodaxe Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Brilliant OP, that man. If it doesn't get you dancing in your chair, call an undertaker It was a favourite of Pete Young's back when Jazz FM was good (especially after 10pm). Killer line-up too, had no idea it was Robben Ford. P. Edited June 9, 2011 by Bloodaxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Such a great player AJ. I saw Fodera had an Anthony Jackson Presentation bass available this week as a customer had a medical problem that meant he couldn't play it. It was a 'fully loaded' version with titanium bridge and truss rod - these babies sell at $24,000 new and I'm sure this one would have been pretty close to that price. . . . . .It sold in under 30 minutes from when it was first listed as being available.
