Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[ghost of miles]

Looking forward to hearing that Mose set myself.  Right now, revisiting discs 9-10 of the Herbie Hancock Columbia box, which cover the 1976 Newport Jazz Festival appearance that featured VSOP (first incarnation of this group, I believe?), the Mwandishi Sextet, and the Headhunters... quite the Herbie fest!

... and there are such priceless lyrics as "Your mind is on vacation, and your mouth is working overtime."

I like the line before that even better:  "If silence was golden, you wouldn't be worth a dime.".   And of course the punchline to "Parchman Farm" is priceless.

Music from early Antonioni films, L'Avventura, La Notte, l'Eclisse, and Il Deserto Rosso.  Music by Giovanni Fusco and Giorgio Gaslini  (Quartet Records).

La Notte is a perennial favorite of mine. With Jeanne Moreau, Mastroiani and Monica Vitti. I hadn't ever stopped to consider its music, though. And I will now.

Yesterday I revisited this box set:

Georgie Fame is a favorite of mine, and I am slowly working my way through that box.  Love it!

I learned recently that Mitch Mitchell was Fame's drummer for the Sweet Things album.  He is listed as John Mitchell.

Got this today, and it sure swings! I was no t aware Cole was that close to the 1930's swing and jive tradition.

I was going to do the same but have ended with the Complete Prestige set, which I like perhaps even some more. All his classics are there and in their original incarnation, which for me is very important. Plus, last not least, it's a K2.

I browsed IMDB the other day to learn about the music. And I found out Umberto Eco also appears in the movie as a guest at the party. He must have been young then. I read one of his books in university, The Definition of Art. He only got into writing novels later. At the beginning he was a non fiction writer.

I have just replayed the 1960s Monk piano solos. Does a 2 CD set count as a "box"? The set is called "Monk Alone" and is a delight to hear. Plenty of stride, and plenty of originals.

Track 3 on CD 2 is erroneously titled. Its name is "Blessed Assurance".

Wow.  The very first session has Brew Moore and Sonny Clark.  As a guy with no Cal Tjader, I am intrigued.
