Topic: Favorite Ballads of All Time If we are talking about great ballads, and the Miles Ahead recording . . . then someone ought to mention Davis’s moving performance of “My Ship.” One of his finest moments. |

Topic: Favorite Ballads of All Time I think the 2nd Miles quintet playing “Stella by Starlight” has to be my favorite thing of all time. I like when Bill Evans plays “Detour Ahead” as well, |

Topic: Favorite Ballads of All Time The Getz version of “Blood Count” is indeed superb. In fact, the whole Pure Getz album is a treat. It had been a while since I heard it so it’s “spinning” as I write this. Pianist Jim McNeely, bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Victor Lewis do a fantastic job. Next stop: revisiting Evans’ version of “The Peacocks.” |

Topic: Favorite Ballads of All Time Getz on “Blood Count” was sublime. I probably heard him play this live on more than a dozen separate occasions, and I even played it with him on piano at one concert. It never failed to leave the audience mesmerized. Whenever possible, Getz tried to play this piece without amplification. Even in relatively large venues, he would ask the sound person to turn off the mikes, and this added to the overall impact. Today, when so many bands think louder is better, Getz could teach a few lessons. |

Topic: Favorite Ballads of All Time The Peacocks, for sure (especially Bill Evans’ version on You Must Believe in Spring) and Bloodcount (especially Stan Getz’s version on Pure Getz – in my opion, possibly the most concise, heart-breakingly beautiful tenor performance I’ve ever heard. Bar none.) |
