Bluesnik Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) I love to hear Hall behind Brookmeyer or the other way round (even with Brookmeyer on piano). And The street swingers is the pick in the lot included here. At least to me. Edited August 27, 2018 by Bluesnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I had all the LP's back in the day, but it's nice to become reacquainted with this music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Disc 4. Not too big on the Glenn Miller selections. Only three, fortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Jimmy Giuffre 3, from the Capitol/Atlantic box, programmed in the original track order. Just gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet, also from the Mosaic big box, and also programmed in the original track order, which is the only way this album makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Jeff. The JImmy Giuffre Clarinet was one of my first buys back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Two very different albums from the Larry Young Blue Note box: Contrasts and Grant Green's I Want to Hold Your Hand.

I haven’t given it much thought but I wonder how many jazz versions there are of Beatie songs (having recently listened to Organissimo’s album).

There’s something about Buddy Rich that is so uncool and square playing a song like Norwegian Wood. They just don’t go together. Like I said, a travesty.

paul secor Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I agree with Brad. It sounded like lounge type crap to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I don't know what kind of lounges you guys have gone to. Ah, I forgot, Buddy Rich, haters gonna hate. That's I fine, y'all do Buddy Rich, I do Oscar Peterson, y'all do Buddy Rich, the difference being that Buddy Rich wasn't fake. Here's some jazzlounge Beatles, but I don't think it's a travesty either, not with legs like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liebman cut wasn't bad; it has feeling Try to deflect all you want but I guess that wasn't sufficient; you had to throw in a sexist comment. Whatever works for you. You love Buddy, good for you. That Norwegian Wood version is terrible, no matter how you cut it. Edited September 23, 2018 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Those were great legs, those leggings or colored hosiery, whatever they were, very striking, very stylish. I applaud the fashion, nothing sexist about it at all, unless appreciating fashion is sexist. I don't love Buddy Rich, god knows. But yeah, the guy drove, he was Tony Williams before there was a real Tony Williams. Here's the deal - They played NW as a jazz waltz, as a 6/8 swinger. If you didn't know it was a Beatles tune, you'd not hear it as a "jazz version of a Beatles tune". So your mind is already thinking one thing, telling your ears what you're going to hear before you even hear it. We all do it, but it's fucked up, it's lazy thinking, and it's why we're all so easily manipulated by image and "culture". Buddy's driving that band like a man possessed, and they're more than up to the task (except for the guitarist who muffs the ending and knows it right away, he looks at Buddy in near fear!), and oh, it's A Beatles song, that's a travesty. No - the travesty is that we already know what to hear before it's even heard. And then we actually hear nothing. Nothing. Here's a bit more of a travesty, although again, a helluva band. But 4/4? Seriously? All this to answer the question of how many jazz versions of Beatles songs there have been, and the answer is quite a few actually. Quite a few.
