Pretty straightforward question: Which duo configuration do you like most in your jazz. Obviously the main deficit here is only 25 options, and many more duo configurations exist. I tried to stick to common instruments and avoid pair the same instrument with itself. So, please explain 'other' votes. Also, can't say for certain a few of these have large bodies of work to refer to. If I repeated one I'll replace it with something else. ------------- Hit it on Five.

I voted for piano and double bass, Bill Evans with Scott LaFarro or Gary Peacock.

| difficult question since duo is far not my favorite format, voted for piano-bass as well |

I actually agree. I like my bands big/with as many voices as possible. But I was thinking about this o'er the weekend, so I thought I'd open it up to the forum at large. ------------- Hit it on Five. Saxophone Scatterbrain Blitzberg Stab them in the ears. |

Also, good choices for the both of you. For me, it's definitely one with drums.  I just can't decide between piano, saxophone, or guitar. ------------- Hit it on Five. Saxophone Scatterbrain Blitzberg Stab them in the ears. |

| Tenor saxophone and drums would be cool, how about John Gilmore with Rashied Ali or Denardo Coleman. |

Piano and drums for me, I'd love to Hancock and ... well, let me have a think about the drummer! ------------- We are men of action. Lies do not become us. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/dreadpirateroberts%28member%29.aspx?reviews=all/" rel="nofollow - Reviews... |

I like that idea...esp with Coleman. Are there any albums out there with Gilmore & Coleman? ------------- Hit it on Five. Saxophone Scatterbrain Blitzberg Stab them in the ears. |

| Unfortunately not, at least as far as I know. Gilmore mostly played with Sun Ra, with just a few dates outside of that. Denardo mostly played with his Dad, although I may need to check out what else he did. |

| Now it all comes back, Blood Ulmer's "Captain Black", thats one of Denardo's best, he's on some other artist albums too. |

That's what I thought. Shame Denardo hasn't branchedout more (or at least if he has that stuff not getting recorded). ------------- Hit it on Five. Saxophone Scatterbrain Blitzberg Stab them in the ears. |
