9. "Woody Shaw killed it in the 70's..."
In response to In response to 7


          

I haven't heard anything after "Rosewood" (smoking album and with Joe Henderson too) but at least until then, he just delivered at a time when "straight", acoustic jazz was out. In a way, his 70's albums were the precursors to Wynton and those conservative in the 80's but I find Shaw SO much better and there are subtle hints of fusion and other stuff there as well; they don't sound throwback at all in spite of being (mostly) acoustic and "post-bop" in the 70's. And for more wild, fusion-esque stuff, "Blackstone Legacy" is a banger.

And I love what he did in the 60's on albums like Larry Young's "Unity" and Jackie McLean's "Demon dance" (underrated album). Actually, that he wasn't used more often on Blue Note albums is strange to me; Hubbard played on SO many records-I wish they (=the Blue Note guys and the leading musicians) would have given Shaw more chances because he deserved it.

And yes, I love the Dorham/Henderson-records too. Even the le4ss famous "Our thing" record where you can hear Andrew Hill in a rare sideman situation (that one and Hutchersons "Dialogue" are the only ones I know off the top)
