Hank Mobley :"Funk In The Deep Freeze" This is Art Farmer on trumpet...I used to hang with him alot and he helped me alot with getting it together, he got me a Flugelhorn, gave me a mouthpiece, and showed me how to practice and how to play altered chords...He was a big presence in my development...I love Art... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPqK7PJjhgw
Another excellent view into how jazz is passed on using oral traditions and examples. One turn at that album deserves another. Hank Mobley "Base on balls" (1957) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04gciaso09Q
Probably one of the very best songwriters covering baseball (for stage plays with baseball themes and his own albums) is Dave Frishberg. On Van Lingle Mungo he makes a song containing the names of players. He will repeat this pattern of players names years later in his song Dodger blue (commissioned by the Dodger organization).
