Peter Friedman Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Stan Getz - the tune Prezervation from the album with the same title. This blues is an alternate take of Crazy Chords that is on a different album. It lwas recorded in 1949 with Al Haig, Gene Ramey and Stan Levey. Quote

This blues is an alternate take of Crazy Chords that is on a different album. It lwas recorded in 1949 with Al Haig, Gene Ramey and Stan Levey. I really like that one, Peter. A 12 bar blues on altered changes, with a key change at the beginning of every chorus - or so it sounds to my amateur ear. Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Hadn't heard it for a while, but I really enjoyed "West Side Story Medley" from The CD sound is great, the band is tight and inspired, the soloists are good, Rich's solo is shorter than the usual live versions. A great Bill Reddie arrangement. Lead trumpeter Bobby Shew left his blood on this chart (literally, according to later Rich lead trumpet players). Edited March 6, 2014 by John Tapscott Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 OK - 2nd time in a week. "Easy Living" from Could have chosen "Come Rain or Come Shine", equally as good. Love this CD. Can't file it away just yet. Quote
blind-blake Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 I love that Frank Wess CD, as well. Have u heard 201? Am curious if it's as good. Hard to believe, but you never know. Just listening to this, which blew me away. Not jazz, but still great. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 "Hey Harold" from this new SHM-CD. There's weather reports, and then there's this seismic forecast. Just sounded and felt so so good this week. Quote

Remember seeing/hearing Rich's band play that suite live at Ronnie Scotts.. Listening highlight of a week filled with listening highlights - The multiple takes of 'Keen & Peachy' on the Woody Herman Columbia Mosaic last night. Edited April 23, 2014 by sidewinder Quote

ghost of miles Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 Can't seem to stop listening to Weather Report's "Cannonball": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7XwwcvjUFg Quote
jeffcrom Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Eva Taylor with Clarence Williams' Blue Five - Cake Walking Babies From Home. Taylor sings one chorus on this 1925 jazz masterpiece. The rest of the record is a no-holds-barred duel between Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, each of whom plays as if his life depended on it. Quote
BillF Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 he title track Haven't listened to it for a long time, but Pete La Roca's drumming on that track is still fresh in my memory. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 From James Brown's "Soul Pride: The Instrumentals"--The KingTighten Up (with an extended jazz trumpetsolo by Waymon Reed, which is exciting)Waymon Reed had an interesting career, for a musician few people have heard of. Worked with Ira Sullivan, James Brown, Count Basie, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, All Star Trumpet Spectacular and Sarah Vaughan (to whom he was married), before dying of cancer.Nice leader date on Artists House, IIRCYes, it's really nice. Jimmy Forrest is great on it, too.MGTrack 7 of BFT123. Thanks Tom, it's bloody wonderful!!!!MG Quote
erwbol Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 There are some incredibly beautiful McCoy Tyner solos on John Coltrane's Meditations (side 2 of original album). Quote

soulpope Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 "Angel Eyes" 1979 Art Pepper + Russ Freeman + Bob Magnusson + Carl Burnett (Atlas LP Bill Watrous "Funk n`Fun") - this is only one of two quartet tracks on said album featuring otherwise Bill Watrous.......the band is execellent, Art Pepper is magnificent but the real highlight here is Russ Freeman`s solo......beyond belief.....then Art Pepper reenters, but much too soon his wailing is faded out.......I would have begged to make this last longer....every single second.....

Shawn Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) The backing track version of "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin from the deluxe edition of Led Zeppelin II. All these work-in-progress versions are fascinating to listen to, like taking a time machine back to the studio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeOOGrtm-Q0 Edited June 6, 2014 by Shawn Quote
paul secor Posted June 24, 2014 Report Posted June 24, 2014 "Something Wonderful" and "Someone To Watch Over Me" Ballad playing doesn't get any better. Quote
