There 's an interview on a Bud Powell album called Inner Fires where he is asked who is favourite pianist is. His reply is 'Al Haig - he's my idea of a perfect pianist.'
Another brilliant set by Mickey Lowenstein. WTTW had the best studios, engineers, producers. 110 Soundstages! Starting with Muddy Waters. These people invented television stereo sound. And, the jazz presentations were legendary, thanks to Kenny Erlich. Play on, Al.Haig.
Thank you, Robert. I googled it, but.... ....what did he choose well? The musicians? The instruments? The location? Even my friend Marc didn't understand. And he understands almost everything.
yeah marc i know more bout this clip. it's from pbs soundstage 1975 entitled dizzy gillespie's bebop reunion. the entire 60 min can be watched at ben sidran's channel watch?v=7ciX2eo5VFs what's up with your comment section?
I admire James on alto saxophone as much as I adore him on tenor saxophone. He was as skillful on the flute also. However, I care less for his dental, triple flutter tonguing - on the flute. Like Sam Most's, the bi-dental triple tonguing tends to intrude "irritatingly" on the melody and harmony "flow", especially during his great improvisation. When triple tonguing is done legato, it's sound appears to be more pleasant to the ear as opposed to when it is produced in a staccato manner. My experience, observation and thoughts - only!
Good to see some video footage of Al Haig.................
At 3:30 Al Haig looks similar to Beethoven 😀
