jazman Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Allan, As always, I shy away from the "best" category of almost any topic, but since you did not say Jazz Messengers only, there was one other stellar group. The 1961 group you're referring to is, Lee Morgan -trumpet; Wayne Shorter-tenor sax; Bobby Timmons-piano; Jymie Merritt-bass; plus Art. They are my favorite. Possible contender may be the early 50's gathering of Clifford Brown-trumpet; Lou Donaldson-alto sax; Horace Silver-piano; Curly Russell-bass; and Art. There are some who will always say Clifford was the best trumpet player ever, and Horace was stronger than Bobby. Please don't throw any bricks up the coast at me, but I also liked Art's early 80's group with 2 sax's(Bobby Watson & Billy Pierce, as well as Branford Marsalis & Billy Pierce) with the young Wynton Marsalis. Different style, different period, but I heard these two later groups and their music was powerful. Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
