In Reply to: RE: Don't tell Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner... posted by musetap on April 29, 2015 at 20:32:42
I like some of the live ones but in my mind, they don't major up.
Hancock has done some funky stuff post 60s but I find his early stuff purer. His Grammy Award winning records leave me cold. I find his non award winning five Blue Note records are much stronger than his last 5.
I stopped buying his records after 'River'.
I have and listened to the artists you've listed but from the late 60s on jazz has been crossed over with other genre and, whilst some of them are fun, it doesn't feel pure to me.
Actually I started out with post '60s jazz and I went backwards in time and discovered the *golden age* of jazz.
Follow Ups:
were my stepping stones. "Bitches Brew" led to John McClaughlin AND Charlie Parker!Crazy about Sonny Rollins on B/N AND some of the recent titles... Duke Ellington remains as much of a touchstone as Sonny Sharrock or Joe Zawinul.
And if we don't have our favorites by now, something is amiss, so it must remain subjective.
You made it as far as "The River"? That's well beyond my call of duty yet doesn't detract
from Mr. Hancock easily qualifying as a "GIANT"!

Of not-so-recent work admittedly.
