Just goes to show you that a talented musician can make music out of almost anything!...lol...enjoyable clips, Jazz! I knew I saw the name Steve Turre before,,,a trumpeter!
jazzboCR Wrote:Julius Watkins, Steve Turre and Dorothy Ashby have one thing in common--all pioneered or were the only one to play an instrument not normally associated with jazz.
French horn--Mr. Watkins has been on the scene since the '50's and been brilliant all this time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy-gO9u7SQ0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGYCTARFR0g Played with the estimable Charlie Rouse for years.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhkfX7KypCk finally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXTxtD3McP8
Harp--not the harmonica played differently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eebQsajwjNo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2YSdlD7378 << soft jazz IS NOT smooth jazz This next isn't jazz but Lordy, isn't it beautiful! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9xvSRWpnyw finally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaeOoQTDz3I
Shells--sea shells, that is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRTXJHzL3s8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgLa4alB67U finally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkuq6prZHoA << he plays a killer trombone too
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
