For a given jazz standard, if the renditions exist, chances are my favorite one is either Bill Evans or Oscar Peterson on piano. He's like if Chopin learned jazz.
My potentially hot take is Blue in Green is Coltrane's best solo on the album. It's purely a taste thing, the best way I can describe it is Coltrane frequently breaks my sense of immersion in a song.
I don't know if it's because Adderly wasn't on that one or what, but it's pretty much the only track where I feel where he gave the track what it needed instead of what he wanted.
- hypertexthero 3y agoI often find that my favorite solo in a piece of jazz music is the one by the accompanying musician. Example: George Benson’s guitar in Freddie Hubbard’s First Light title track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwvxiBEPDdA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwvxiBEPDdA
