Walter Davis - Ashes In My Whiskey

"A brilliantly sinister song, reminds me of a classical cello piano duet. No wonder Henry Townsend held Davis in such high regard."

[infiniterichesinalittleroom]

One of my all-time favorite jazz piano pieces is Hodes's version of Hoagy Carmichael's "Washboard Blues," on an album appropriately entitled Art for Art's Sake. The art Hodes practices is now rarely heard. There's a blues-piano tradition going back to the early twenties, at least, which includes such greats as Jelly Roll Morton, Leroy Carr, Jimmy Yancey, and many other lesser-known figures like Walter Roland, Walter Davis, Cripple Clarence Lofton, and Little Brother Montgomery. This tradition is separate from that of the stride piano as practiced by James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, or Art Tatum. For one thing, it's less technically dazzling, more succinct, more single-minded, as it were: a minimum of notes, a lot of feeling, and a disarming melodic directness with its roots in country blues and gospel. It's music for insomniacs, the philosophers of a single dark thought. Pascal was a blues artist, and so was Sappho. The music, the night I heard Hodes, was wordless, but language was never far off. Listening to him is like overhearing a man making a poem, saying the words to himself, cancelling one phrase, adding another.

You gotta have your elbow straight, your left hand is your guide hand to help you take the ball up. That hand comes off and it's follow through. The last finger that touches the ball is the index finger so you use that like a sight on a gun and point it to where you want that ball to go; so my target was the front of the rim. I practiced in the mornings by myself for about 3 hours just shooting, ball handling and things like that I'd learned in basketball camp.
