Been listening this week to Mansur Brown, a young player here in London.
Here he is channelling some Pete Cosey vibes with drummer Yussef Dayes, keyboardist Alfa Mist and bassist Rocco Palladino (yes, Pino's son is also a monster bassist). Mansur lets rip at 4:45.

This gets a move on. Martijn Van Iterson on guitar. The tune is Jimmy Raney's 'Parker 51' (Cherokee changes).

Like Jiim Hall said...."guys are playing like it's a track meet" ......
It isn't a race....if you you hear some fast shit....play it....etc etc
I've also heard an old jazz saying something to the effect that "jazz is a young person's music that is better played by older people"
....Bells?....

There are/were others who play/played fast, but only for spurts - or worse - like a parlor trick. But this guy "took a breath" only when he wanted to and it was based on expression, not a limited capability.

Well this is an oldie but a goody--John and Buckie--Honeysuckle Rose:
And McLaughlin playing Cherokee--the look on his face, like guys, I ain't even trying that hard, please keep up...
Also for a more modern shredder, Ben Monder is pretty incredible. Check out Hydra--can't find a link online, but one of my faves.

Stern is always great, but that guy comping behind him is blowing my mind!

Why don't I hear Louis Stewart's name more often. He is fast, lyrical, and has great tone. I looked around on Youtube and there is some nice videos on him.
