mgraham333 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 (edited) I had an idea to create a mix CD with songs that mention various places around the globe. Ordinarily I spend days obessing over mixes, but to get the ball rolling, I thought I would throw one out. A Night In Tunisia - Art Blakey - 9.50 - (A Night At Birdland - Volume 1) Appointment In Ghana - Jackie McLean - 6.95 - (Jackie's Bag) April In Paris - Coleman Hawkins - 3.10 - (Body & Soul) Autumn In New York - Bud Powell - 2.85 - (The Amazing Bud Powell - Volume 2) Basra - Pete La Roca - 9.92 - (Basra) Calcutta Cutie - Horace Silver - 8.43 - (Song For My Father) Dear Old Stockholm - Miles Davis - 4.17 - (Round About Midnight) Home Is Africa - Horace Parlan - 8.77 - (The Complete Blue Note Sessions) Israel - Miles Davis - 2.25 - (Birth Of The Cool) Monaco - Kenny Dorham - 5.55 - (Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia) New Orleans - Carmell Jones - 5.73 - (Mosaic Select) Rio - Lee Morgan - 6.17 - (The Procrastinator) St. Thomas - Sonny Rollins - 6.77 - (Saxophone Collossus) I'd be interested in hearing some other suggestions for tracks to include. I've come up with a few others already: Angola - Wayne Shorter Black Nile - Wayne Shorter Blue Harlem - The Ike Quebec Quintet Bluebird Of Delhi (Mynah) - Duke Ellington California Soul - Gerald Wilson Caracas - Lou Donaldson Carribean Cutie (Alternate Bonus Track) - Cannonball Adderley Chelsea Bridge - Tommy Flanagan Congolese Children - Randy Weston Francisco - Jackie McLean Isfahan - Duke Ellington Japanese Folk Song [Kojo No Tsuki] - Thelonious Monk Man Of Lamancha - Gerald Wilson Mount Harissa - Duke Ellington Nagasaki - The Poll Winners New Amsterdam - ScoLoHoFo Niger Mambo - Randy Weston On The Ginza - Art Blakey On The Nile - Jackie McLean Port Rico Rock - Blue Mitchell Russian Lullaby - John Coltrane Sao Paolo - Kenny Dorham Scrapple From The Apple - Frank Morgan Stars Fell On Alabama - Sonny Stitt Sunrise In Mexico - Kenny Dorham Sweet Georgia Brown - Dizzy Gillespie The Egyptian - Art Blakey The Maids Of Cadiz - Miles Davis The Tokyo Blues - Horace Silver West 22nd Street Theme - Bobby Hutcherson West Indian Daddy - Lou Donaldson Edited August 13, 2003 by mgraham333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
