I would probably listen to it more if I hadn't heard the others before. <BR/><BR/>I still haven't heard Someday my Prince Will Come, but I understand where you think Davis isn't that strong. But, I think his strength really is in creating a certain mood with his playing, not so much in his skill with the trumpet. (and in finding the best musicians to play with him, you are right in that!)bicyclepiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034317834099619039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216465212668229932.post-88203245041250665822008-12-04T20:37:00.000-08:002008-12-04T20:37:00.000-08:00Always hating on the vibes, aren't you?

Think about "Love and Hate" on that Jackie McClean record. Acceptable use of the vibes. I've never heard that Davis record. How do you like it? I'm spinning "Someday My Prince Will Come" right now. First off, the record is amazing, especially Mobley's sax and Kelly's piano. But Davis himself just isn't that strong, I gotta say. He just seemed to have a knack for putting together amazing groups.grigori, trained octopushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491549157272788979noreply@blogger.com
