Big Al Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thought about this while posting in the OMG thread. What are the jazz tunes that make you reach for the volume and crank it to eleven?

Jim R Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Count BASIE !! I also like (in general) my B-3 stuff cranked up pretty good. I like the way Jimmy Smith bites at higher volumes. I think that actually started back before I got into straight ahead jazz, with players like Chester Thompson (Tower Of Power), Greg Rolie with Santana, Geoff Palmer (Sons Of Champlin), Lonnie Jordan (WAR), Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Steve Winwood, etc. Bill Doggett, too! Back in that same era, when I was in high school, we used to crank up Les McCann & Eddie Harris' classic SWISS MOVEMENT (especially "compared to what"). Also The Crusaders- "Put It Where You Want It". Ah, memories. Sarah Vaughan's version of "I'll Never Be The Same" from THE LONELY HOURS (on CD as part of THE BENNY CARTER SESSIONS; and also in the Mosaic set).... ..... Sarah Vaughan, cranked? Try it- it works!

jazzmessenger Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 "Free For All" (Not just the title song, the whole darn album!) - Art Blakey I second that. Everytime I listen to this album, I turn up the volume. It's probably the only CD that makes me do that. By far, it is my favorite Blakey album!

Everytime I listen to this album, I turn up the volume. It's probably the only CD that makes me do that. By far, it is my favorite Blakey album! I feel that way about anything from Blakey's MOSAIC, especially, "Arabia", "Children of the Night" (Blue Note). Charles Mingus: "Moanin'", "Tensions" from BLUES & ROOTS (Atlantic) Sonny Rollins: "Street Runner With Child" from ALFIE soundtrack (Impulse) "Three Little Words" from ON IMPULSE (Impulse) John Coltrane: "Blues Minor" from AFRICA/BRASS (Impulse) Grachan Moncur: "The Coaster" from EVOLUTION (Blue Note) Countless more, I'll stop now.

Hardbopjazz Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) My list would be too long. I crank everything up loud when I'm at home and have my earphones on. Edited May 18, 2004 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 We always listen to the Larry Young/Grant Green stuff pretty loud. If its got a B-3 on it, its gotta be loud! Check SMOKIN' by Lockjaw and Shirley Scott! Boom! Medeski Martin and Wood SHACK MAN is a killer loud. Probably not jazz enough for this group though. I also like to listen to Herbie Nichols and Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk at high volume. If I could find a good Charlie Parker recording, I'd REALLY crank it, but the treble hiss is just too much on most of what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Many of the foregoing, I agree, but as for something that was performed loud and should be played loud, Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society (for example, When Colors Play, Texas, Barbeque Dog, What Spirit Say...)
