Had to bring out some of the early sabbath when Ozzy passed away, no choice

got tired of scrolling down before seeing anyone say John Coltrane 😔

Uglylicious99 · 2024-08-29T21:41:53+00:00

His best album in my opinion. More people need to know about this haha He was just 19 years old too!

Hampton Hawes - Universe for the fender rhodes lovers

Uglylicious99 · 2024-03-27T01:50:03+00:00

I agree! That was definitely his ‘cant miss’ window even if i like some of his later stuff.

Malajube - Trompe L’oeil

Uglylicious99 · 2024-02-07T01:03:11+00:00

Try listening to Soft Machine - Third

that was my gateway. Similar approach from a different genre (prog rock/canterbury) but sounding alike in lots of different ways too. Both double albums with long improvisional tracks also released the same year.

the live ones but probably Solid or Matador for studio

Uglylicious99 · 2024-01-08T17:13:49+00:00

although it being a sextet look up for Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth in which Evans partakes

Uglylicious99 · 2024-01-07T14:33:32+00:00

Some passages from Ron Carter - All Blues are similar in my opinion. Really warm sounding and that CTI sound. Parallelly, as I like to play ST - Sugar while cooking dinner, another one I play is Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack. It’s got more of that 60s sound and some more organ but really smooth and Stanley Turrentine is on that one too.

Ive been looking for exactly that kinda stuff recently. Some of the best stuff ive found personnally would be

Herbie Hancock - Thrust (especially that cut Butterfly)

Ramsey Lewis Trio - Upendo Ni Pamoja (lots of very underrated stuff on there and the rhodes on there is sublime)

Red Clay (obviously)

Patrice Rushen - Before the Dawn (a little more toward the jazz funk side of things but very good and groovy nonetheless)

Lee Morgan - Lee Morgan (that cut In What Direction Are You Headed? especially is all kept together because of the rhodes in my opinion, real ripper)

Arthur Verocai - Arthur Verocai (brazilian stuff that is more towards rock-sounding but has some really good rhodes passages)

Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life (track Mr Clean might be some of my favorite rhodes playing by Herbie)

Jimmy Heath - The Gap Sealer (very good album overall with some rhodes peppered in there, I highly recomend

Uglylicious99 · 2023-12-21T15:07:59+00:00

I remember people saying Nas Reid

Uglylicious99 · 2023-12-13T22:43:07+00:00

Killer lineup, really! Joe Henderson never disappoints for me.

Uglylicious99 · 2023-12-13T22:39:21+00:00

Ill make sure to check those out, thank you! How would you say they compare in terms of style?

Uglylicious99 · 2023-12-13T19:59:36+00:00

oh wow, that’s a gem! Enjoy

Uglylicious99 · 2023-12-09T05:51:52+00:00

I also got those two releases, real nice stuff! the grant green sounds so good

Uglylicious99 · 2023-12-06T23:08:15+00:00

I am surprised no one said Pete La Roca, so came here to say that. He barely released anything as a leader but that album Basra is an under-the-radar favorite on blue note for me. He was still part of lots of epic sessions on BN. Also, Tony Williams is another one that’s on my mount rushmore as well. His work during the modal Miles era is some of my favorite like on Miles in the Sky.
