Check Greg out on Lee Konitz's Some New Stuff
Awesome disc that plays a little like a revisit to Motions, however many decades after

I'll have to check it out.

As a side note, he seems to have a penchant for weird stuff! I like it.

Someone mentioned them earlier, but after hearing both in New Orleans this past weekend I have to give another shout for James Singleton and James Cammack. I saw Singleton killing with Plunge at an LMF in-store (if you don't have any of their records I very highly recommend them), and Cammack was owning the jazz tent with Jamal, bad sound quality and all.

I came back really inspired to attempt to suck less.

Thump, that Masada link is sick!

Thomas Morgan.... He's a serious bass player. Knows the "role" of being a bass player, always covers his "responsibilities" and also transcends them. He plays with everyone from John Abercrombie to the incredibly wild free **** with Mary Halvorson. He also is big on the minimalism scene with tyshawn sorey and is a regular member in one of Paul motian's groups.
