Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Art Blakey and Billy Higgins; who was the best drummer in the cast of Alfred Lyon's Blue Note Records? Your take!
ReplyDeleteAmbrose, this is an extraordinary age in which each of these seminal minds opens up a continent of ideas of transformative contemplation. They are all operating on stellar heights with the overarching shared-theme that goes by the name, "Let freedom ring"!
ReplyDeleteWell said, Professor; "extraordinary age" and my take, extraordinary experiment with the likes of John Coltrane and Miles Davis with what they did with the instruments and no one coming close till today.
