it could be anybody. Scofield, although he's been around since the mid-70's is still putting out groundbreaking material and progressing as always. Same with Mike Stern, Pat Metheny, and Michael Brecker until his passing earlier this year.

those are all older guys though, newer ones would be guys like Charlie Hunter, Steve Jenkins, Dave Fuzeinsky (sp?), and others.

what the jazz world, the rock world, the MUSIC world needs is guys like Miles, Zappa, Coltrane, and others that were great band leaders and visionaries that could find young talent and exploit their best traits and then in turn those people would have great careers after leaving their leaders' bands.


Dave Fuse Fiuczynski -  I had to go look  up the spelling and it is even more difficult to get the inflection right when pronouncing it.


John McLaughlin is touring the US at the very moment and doing that very thing wrt nurturing young talent in the form of  wonder bassist Hadrian Faraud. Gary Husband who's taking keyboard and sharing drumming  on this McLaughlin tour, and I know personally to be a mild manner and polite guy, is currently tearing into a web critic at the Fusenet website for comments made about the first gig of the McLaughlin tour - could be quite bloody.

Really?? i'll def have to check that out. i havent been keeping up with McLaughlin lately, although i picked up Industrial Zen earlier this year and LOVE IT! but that's awesome.

i wonder why Herbie Hancock hasn't been doing much like that. i know he still plays and tours, but i feel like he's just not doing anything anymore, and he's the one who Miles like the most and saw great things in his future. i heard his new albums was not that great. yet he's sick on Mike Brecker's Pilgramage album!!

The row is simmering down, however the verbal knives are still out:
 
I know because of the system of feedback we use in this university for courses and complete programmes, that one can get some fantastic positive feedback but then all you need is that one student who is negative. As a result, the mass of good words is swamp by the few bad ones. In part it is the desire to as well as possible but then discovering that one person doesn''t think so, that needles and unnerves enough to make recipient react in a such way. Evidently Mr Husband also felt he had been needled several times before by this "needler"!
 
Herbie Hancock is reviewed and interviewed in the Month's Jazzwise magazine about his Joni Mitchell Songbook tribute. Also the magazine has a long interview with Robert Wyatt, whose photo-portrait adorns the front cover.( Personally: I thanks the stars that former members of Soft machine are being accepted as jazz musicians by the jazz fraternity , after being left in the cold for so long).

Best known for working with  Hellborg and Lane, and I think Jazz Is Dead, drummer Jeff Sipe comes up with a good solo album with some fiery fusion played.

i got Wired but didnt really get into it.....found it a bit too slick and structured for my liking.  And yet its not 'cheesy' and fuzak enough like Spyro Gyra or Casiopea ahahah

maybe i shld go back and listen again but thats how i remember it.

Coincidentally just listening to Masques by Brand X. Collins' run with Brand X displays some of his greatest drumming, carrying on the intelligent and varied prowess that he displayed on such songs as "In the Cage" and his drumming on the version of "The Knife" on Genesis Live. Any drummers on here, listen to Brand X if you haven't already, and pay special attention to the Collins stuff.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?
