Dan Gould Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 Almost 500 hits for less than 150 CDs so far. So, I'm guessing someone actually is reading this. Then again, if no one cares or the peanut gallery hecklers keep piling on .... Well, picture that smilie where the fingers keep going down til only one is left. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Some of us have to "imagine" power from somewhere. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Posted June 12, 2004 In the Blakey/Morgan Limelight thread, Alexander said something about all the Blakeys he has running together-after a week of Blakey, I can definitely relate. And I'm not even through him yet! Ritual A Night at Birdland Volume 1 & 2 The Sound of Jazz (one of the Wynton bands) Africaine Jazz Corner of the World (the Lee/Wayne group) Volume 1 and 2 (JRVG) Hard Bop/Paris Concert (Collectables) Ugetsu The Jazz Messenger (this is a Columbia sampler from around 1990-I remember grabbing it because its the only reissued Messengers material when Kenny Drew was in the band) Compact Jazz sampler Drums Around the Corner Buhaina's Delight Mosaic Indestructible Three Blind Mice Volume 1 Paris 1958 One for All (his last recording of all) Hard Drive (Bethlehem) Lausanne 1960 (TCB) Saint Germain (Volume 1-3) 155 Quote
Peter Johnson Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 Dan, is the Blakey still capturing your attention after all of those in a row? I love Bu, but I don't know if could go through them all like that! Maybe there's a zen aspect to it...I mean, it's not to say that there's not something new to be gained with each track, in some cases, with each MINUTE of each track, and of course the intrumentation beween, say, Ugestu and Mosaic couldn't be different. But I'm not sure my attention span could take it...is it making you crazy? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 Dan, if you have a chance. if your local store has a sale, if someone offers you one, if you trip on it, get a friggin' clue. We will all profit. Quote

We will all profit. Kiss off, Nessa. You don't like it, don't open the thread. I'm in for the duration. **************************************** Peter, you should realize number one that this A to Z is going on during working hours, so there's already a significant degree of lesser attention. Having said that, I was of two minds this week: They played "Moanin'" all the damn time, didn't they? Damn, that Bobby Timmons was a helluva composer, wasn't he? Honestly, the soulfullness of the band and Lee's fiery playing still came through strong, but there was also a sense of "Blakey Fatigue" for lack of a better term. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted June 12, 2004 Report Posted June 12, 2004 They played "Moanin'" all the damn time, didn't they? Ain't it the truth! And they played it whether they were "playing it" (the actual song) or not...more licks from Moanin' seeped into the other songs than from any other, I think! Not that that's a bad thing, mind you!

There's better Monk, and better Messengers. Just doesn't do much for me) Various private recordings Selections from Golden Boy The Legacy of Art Blakey (Telearc CD, led by Benny Golson) Message, the Art of Blakey Terence Blanchard: Romantic Defiance Terence Blanchard Malcolm X Jazz Suite Simply Stated George Bohannon: Boss Bossa Nova (Workshop Jazz) Bess Bonnier: Theme for the Tall One (Argo) Walter Booker: Bookie's Cookbook Pat Bowie: Feelin' Good Bob Brookmeyer: Jazz is a Kick Kansas City Revisited Don Braden: Wish List 179 Quote

Dan Gould Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Posted June 16, 2004 You take offense at the thread. You urge me to get a clue. I say kiss off. Quote

Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) Well now I see that something went wrong with my first update of the workweek, so this will have to be an extra long list: Clarence Gatemouth Brown: American Music, Texas Style Sings Louis Jordan (highly recommended Black and Blue CD) Charles Brown: Blues and Other Love Songs So Goes Love Clifford Brown: Sextet in Paris Quartet in Paris Memorial Album Mel Brown: Chicken Fat The Wizard Odel Brown and the Organ-izers; Raising the Roof Mellow Yellow Ducky Ray Brown: Hot Tracks After You've Gone (both co-led by Herb Ellis) Seven Steps to Heaven Don't Get Sassy Summertime Much in Common (with Milt Jackson) Live at Starbucks Producer's Choice Live at Scullers Some of My Best Friends are The Trumpet Players Some of My Best Friends are Guitarists Some of My Best Friends are the Sax Players Don't Forget the Blues Three Dimensional Red Hot Ray Brown Trio Soular Energy Summer Wind Black Orpheus Moore Makes Four Bam Bam Bam Private Recording of one of Ray's last gigs, at the Germany Jazz Festival Tom Browne: Another Shade of Browne (interesting straightahead date by a guy who's made his living in smooth jazz but says he's always loved Morgan, et. al.)

brownie Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Dan, you list four albums by Terence Blanchard, but only three from this giant: Clifford Brown: Sextet in Paris Quartet in Paris Memorial Album That's a very strange balance to me Time to invest in some essential albums. Quote
RDK Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Not all my cuppa' but I'll never fault a guy for liking what he likes (unless it's Kenny G of course ). Personally I need more variety - and could never listen to so much Blakey in a row - but it is interesting to get a "glimpse" of Dan's collection... Quote
ajf67 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Roy Brooks: Beat Dan, I haven't heard "Beat," but if you like Brooks, you may want to check out his album "The Free Slave." Don't know if it ever has made it to CD (my copy is a Muse LP), but it's a cool live date from the Left Bank in Baltimore in 1970. Has Woody Shaw on Trumpet, George Coleman on tenor, Hugh Lawson on piano and Cecil McBee on bass. Quote

I was waiting for someone to point this out! But, strange to say, I have always preferred Brownie's descendants to Brownie himself (I think you know which Brownie I'm speaking of, Brownie! Not that I count Blanchard necessarily under that heading, but Lee, Byrd, Freddie ...) And trust me, there are a few Brown/Roach titles that are filed under Max Quote
Chrome Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 What's that "Brubeck and Rushing" disc like? Sounds like an interesting mix. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 What's that "Brubeck and Rushing" disc like? Sounds like an interesting mix. It's criminally short, about 30 minutes, but really, really good. Rushing is in fine voice, as would be expected, and Brubeck fits with him very well. I'd grab it if I were you. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 but it is interesting to get a "glimpse" of Dan's collection... Precisely why I chose to do this. Don't tell Nessa-he wouldn't understand. Quote

I got that cheap some time ago, actually bought it more because it was cheap and I haven't much Brubeck so far... but yeah! A great one! "Melancholy Baby" is one of the highlights, in my opinion. Rushing really sounds good, and the disc is lots of fun! Grab it cheap if you see it! On the edit: and then there's Paul Desmond, of course ubu Edited June 25, 2004 by king ubu Quote
ajf67 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 That Brubeck and Rushing set is really good. Another reason I love this site is that these threads remind me of things I haven't listened to in a while. I have to dig that out. Quote
Bright Moments Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Dave Brubeck: Blues Roots (with Gerry Mulligan) Brubeck and Rushing no "Time out"?!!!!! Quote
