A lovely gentleman. Turning 80 and still enjoys performing, and still getting it done.

 

[JRA]

I just that realized he has recored a few duet albums. At least two with Houston Person, one with Joe Henderson, maybe there are others?

 

[Ed Fuqua]

Dude, 2 recordings with Jim Hall, 1 with Helen Merrill (although there is some percussion), at least 1 with Cedar Walton, a trio record dedicated to Jumpier Hall with Larry Coryell and Peter Bernstein, and Mithar knows HOW many trio records...

Man autocorrect really shaged me on this one. "dedicated to Jim Hall..." and "MITHRA". Jeez...

Oh yes. Joe Henderson “State of the Tenor” volume 1 and 2 (I highly envy you if you’ve never heard them).

I know and love them, but they're trio with Al Foster

I find it hard to believe this could exist and I wouldn't have heard of it, but if it does I'm in good company - the internet doesn't seem to have heard of it either

@oliebrice Riiiiight you are, good sir! The sleep deprivation I’m experiencing from having a 2 week old and a 3 year old must be throwing me for a major loop.

On a side note, I remember eons ago seeing Ron play duo with Bill Frisell at The Blue Note. An incredible show except that I was left with a sour taste because this incredible duo *opened* the split bill, and were followed by a certain well renowned bass player/bandleader’s “international vamp band”.

 

[oliebrice]

Congratulations on the new addition!

Yes, it's a trio. Sorry.

I understand the sour taste, but that must have been something. Too bad it wasn't recorded. If they were to play a show like that now it would be on youtube soon after.

Hopefully Mithra is in a lighthearted mood.

I sat down with two amazing choruses and analyzed them, bar-by-bar. There's just no one that walks better lines than him, IMHO.

Agreed. It does not get any better, only different.
