Super interesting to hear Vincent Herring and Dick Oatts on tenor! I can't lie though, I much prefer hearing them on alto. Something about their unique tones that just doesn't carry over to tenor.
Agreed! This is one of the earlier recordings of Vince on tenor. He recorded some tenor with Cedar Walton later on that sounded better: th-cam.com/video/T8D5e-_cieE/w-d-xo.html And with his Earth Jazz Agents group: th-cam.com/video/2t27bCK-Big/w-d-xo.html
Miles Davis: Jazz is dead
These guys: Hold our beers
