This is new, original, cutting-edge music that is not afraid to be accessible. Cohen has no interest in obfuscation or esoterica. He uses a myriad of ethnic influences, from Israeli to Brazilian to African to synthesize a new music that is intelligent, exciting and engaging on every level. There is not a weak track on this CD; even "A Child Is Born", a jazz standard that has been covered almost as much as "You Don't Know What Love Is", is reborn under Cohen's deft aegis.

I tried about 10 or so different pick now; everything to jazz picks to heavy teardrops. These are definitely my favorite by a fair margain. They feel good, easy to grip,notes ring nicely.

I played with Frank a lot and it was always a treat. He was a wonderful ensemble player which is not easy when everybody is improvising. His solos sometimes made you hope he had a parachute but somehow he always made it. I truly miss those days. The Chicago style was, and is, one of the great sounds.

Really nice picks. Love the grooves on both sides. They sit perfectly between my index and thumb. My main issue is that I thought these would be Jazz sized picks. These are standard size which makes them useless for me I might be able to shave them down. Again these are NOT Jazz picks

Chick Corea is on the road again. I saw him with Hubert Laws, Eddie Gomez and Airto Moreira as the Freedom Band last Sunday at Jazz Alley in Seattle and I'm seeing him in San Francisco again six days later. If you look at Chick's best at least one of these three folks are on his best albums or at least in this instrumentation: piano, flute, bass and percussion.
The magic is still there.

Excellent album especially if you like contemporary or modern jazz. Some tracks are upbeat and then some tracks are down tempo or a seductive type of smooth jazz !!!!! Once again they have done it again..... definitely something to add to your collection especially if you have been listening to them for many years !!! It would also impress the novice ear if they listen to this genre of jazz.

I have been playing Dunlop jazz 3's almost as long as I have been playing guitar. Recently I have been experimenting with other guitar picks in the Dunlop range like the ultex, gator, and other jazz incarnations. Also the more boutique V-picks which were pretty cool. However I got this pick and it has a smooth, clean and warm attack not to mention the flexibility of three picks in one. It just fits.

I love a sharp tipped pick.  Great variety of colors as well.  I got the 6 pack.  I tried the Jazz III from Dunlop, but it was way too small for my liking; I prefer a standard size pick.  These offer great control but I can still feel the flimsiness under my thumb even when I choke up on the pick.  Still use them from time to time but still on the search for something better as well.  Would be great if Dava had a standard no-flex pick with this tip.  I may need to check up on that.

After over 45 years of playing, I have a collection of several hundred picks, spanning 5 decades.
Hey, why not; picks are relatively cheap, come in all shapes, thickness colors and sizes, make great giveaways to students and fans, and some hold special places in memory.
Always on the look out for a new ideal practice and training pick, and having someone abscond with my last "Min'd" quartz pick left over from the 80's, I saw these and immediately decided to give them a try.
Wonderful, excellent, and very pleasantly surprised. The size is exactly same as the beloved, faithful, always reliable Jazz III. The thickness is about 3mm, (2 stacked 1.3 Jazz III) which puts it in the same cat as stone and hard wood picks. The tone is very fat, warm, and jazzy. It makes the neck pickup on my old Tele with the tone rolled off sound like a full size Jazz box, and my Thinline Ovation sound like a Manuche Gypsy Jazz Selmer (or a damn good approximation at least).
You get superior control, grip, articulation, and this is the best part...very little dreaded, annoying and infuriating "Pick Click"; the surface just rolls of the strings in both alternate and sweep/economy picking modes, and I could not be happier. The material feels almost like charred, or baked wood and to my ears that is highly preferable, (and quieter) than both Nylon and Tortex.
This has now become my #1 daily practice/workout pick, and at this price, I am about to order another set, cause I know some other poor lost soul will abscond with one of mine sooner or later.
If you are on the search for the almost perfect fast, thick, heavy, articulate and quiet Jazzy pick, then these are worth checking out.
Thanks Clayton for this; you have a customer for life.
Cheers Y'all...

Greg Osby is one of my favorite saxophonist his style of playing astounds me. Was drawn to his style of playing right away. A style that I started to mimic as soon as I heard him play. Awesome improvisation.

Steve Cardenas -- the cool-toned, gently swinging jazz guitarist, not the former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger -- leads a set of (mostly) ballads with his trio, adding trumpeter Shane Endsley on three swingers, including "Subconscious-Lee," Paul Motian's rarely-heard "In the Year of the Dragon," and an excellent Cardenas original, "One for Joey." If you're in the mood for some good, late night chamber jazz, this is a solid recommendation.

Amazingly, not a single track on these two discs was released during Grant Green's lifetime. I'm not sure that I have ever read a plausible explanation of why this was, but my guess is that Blue Note was more interested in selling Green as a soul-jazz (even pop-jazz) artist, and these sessions don't really fit that image. On the contrary, the quartets with Sonny Clark are some of the most straight-ahead jazz material Green ever recorded. Green mostly stays away from some of the soulful devices he abuses on his other records (including the exhaustive repetition of favorite phrases), playing in a cool bebop style, complete with whimsical Gillespie-style arranged intros for standards like "The Things We Did Last Summer." I wonder how much of this is due to Sonny Clark, who never liked to let tempos dip and loved the bop aesthetic. But Green sounds pretty into it: on the two takes of "Oleo" he could almost be Wes Montgomery!

There are ebbs and flows here, and the material with Art Blakey (the first 7 tracks) is somewhat more lively than what follows. This is not to say that the rest of the set is a letdown, though; there are many memorable tracks on disc 2, including an exquisite swinging version of "Moon River" and a takeoff on the "So What"/"Impressions" changes called "Two for One" with one of Green's rare but spellbinding modal explorations. Of course, as others have noted, the set is highlighted by the famous version (with Blakey) of "It Ain't Necessarily So," an extended, pulsating soul-jazz groove with an uncharacteristically intense and even distorted guitar solo from Green -- the closest thing to the kind of material he seems best remembered for nowadays.

I'm not sure if this is the best Grant Green collection, but it sure is a good value, and a great place to start if you're coming at Green from a more straight-ahead standpoint.

I love these guys. I really enjoy the smooth jazz and blues flow they have mixed in all their music. Although i'm not a huge christmas music person, these great traditional christmas songs in the BBVD style are fun and something different. I enjoy supporting these guys by buying every album.

I'm a fan of Andy Summers. He's an excellent player and the playing on this album is fine. There are other albums of his that to my ears are much more interesting and vigorous. I would say that this is a fine 'dinner jazz' cd and as such it has a place in my collection.

I think these are great picks and I'm a 10 year user of the standard Jazz III and the EJ Jazz III. These are an upgrade for me personally, I like the larger butt end for greater stability and the fine tip for accuracy.

I've used the Heavy style for over 30 years now. As a jazz player I need a pick that is going to do exactly what my ideas dictate. Whether fluttering through an arpeggio or ripping off a 32nd note run, this pick is right there.
