What albums and/or artists are you hearing for...

[vibes]

Just hearing for the first time today:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour L'echafaud

Buck Clayton

One of the nice things about being relatively young and relatively new to jazz is that there's still a lot of music left to discover. So, who or what are you listening to for the first time today?

I've heard lots of Yusef Lateef, but I never heard the Golden Flute album until today.

Ummmm... I listened to Urban Dreams by Pepper Adams for about the tenth time today. Does that count?

(BTW, what did you think of Dark Side of the Moon?)

(BTW, what did you think of Dark Side of the Moon?)

It'll take some getting used to. I'm pretty sure that this first listen was also the first time I've ever listened to Pink Floyd. I liked the song "Money" right away, and I think the rest will grow on me. I bought the hybrid SACD, and the sound seems quite good for something recorded 30 years ago or so.

Maybe you should put on The Wizard of Oz while listening to Dark Side? I heard that's supposed to be cool -- but I never understood that one. I always liked Animals and Wish You Were Here more than Dark Side, but all of them are interesting.

My buddy Upright Bill loaned me a copy of Cedar Walton/Hank Mobley Quintet "Breakthrough!", which I'm hearing for the first time today.

I'm a big Cedar Walton fan, and it's interesting to hear him playing electric on a few tracks. The electric piano seems to "date" this music to the early seventies (to my ears, anyway), and it reminds me vaguely of some tracks on Marsh's "All Music". But, like the Marsh CD, I'm really enjoying it. Great stuff!

New this morning:

Guy Lafitte - Blue and Sentimental

First time I've ever heard this artist. His tone reminds me of Coleman Hawkins. George Daly's Hampton-esque vibes bring a nice texture to the date.
