BillF Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 "Be-Bop" from The Sonny Clark Trio (BN) The music seems to just flow out of Sonny Clark on this one. Sounds as if he could have played on and on, if he had chosen to. Yes, and I could listen on and on to that one Quote
JSngry Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 That old Supremes song "Someday We'll Be Together", the one with Bobby Womack's from-the-booth-to-the-singer-throiugh the-phones cajolations to Diana Ross captured and kept. Damn, what a groove that sucker has. Easy to overlook since it was such a big hit and it is a Diana Ross minus the real Supremes puffjob and after all it is just a good Top 40 song from last century, but it's actually a pretty nice song. And besides... DAMN, what a groove that sucker has. Quote
JSngry Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Olk, now I'm reading on AMG that it's Johnny Bristol & that it wasn't from the booth at all. That's not waht I heard on some "nostalgia" show back in the day, but oh well. Still a great record, a great song, and a great groove. If I ever start playing seriously with a group of my own again, this one's getting played. Quote

paul secor Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Von Freeman: "I Love You" from Lester Leaps In (Steeplechase) - Von Freeman wails! and Orchestra Baobab: "Coumba" - both takes - from The Legendary 1982 Session - Pirates Choice (World Circuit) - Wouldn't mind having this one as part of a soundtrack for my everyday life. I'd probably feel a lot less stressed. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Orchestra Baobab: "Coumba" - both takes - from The Legendary 1982 Session - Pirates Choice (World Circuit) - Wouldn't mind having this one as part of a soundtrack for my everyday life. I'd probably feel a lot less stressed. I haven't played that CD for a while. I usually play the more recent reissue which has the two complete albums, but not the alternative takes (though there was room for them). Much though I love "Coumba", I have a marginal preference for "Utru horas". Some of my newies have got some blinders on them: Concha Buika (well, you knew I was going to say that, didn't you) - "Volver volver", from her new one, "Nina de fuego". Robbie Jansen - "Labourer's samba" from "The Cape doctor". Several more on this are queueing up to give me a stiff uppercut. Balla & ses Balladins - "Wilikabo" from "The Syliphone years". This compilation is stuffed FULL of great cuts; another one was my pick last week MG MG Quote
Big Al Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Been making a DVD for my son's sixth-grade class that gathers together pictures from Kindergarten all the way thru 6th-grade. So, I've been trying to find popular songs from each year to go along with the pictures, not an easy task I can tell you. But there have been a few gems: "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional. I like the guitars on this one. "Someday" by the Strokes. Nice punky sound, good lyrics about yearning. Fit well with the whole theme of growing up. "One Step at a Time" by Jordyn Sparks. I can't help it: this girl is cute, unpretentious, and I was so thrilled she won American Idol. This song is ridiculously catchy. "Move Along" by the All-American Rejects. Again, cool beat, nice crunchy guitars, cool lyrics. "Shadow of the Day" by Linkin Park. A drastic departure from their usual alt-metal Nickelback-inspiring glop. This has a nice breezy beat, ringing guitars, and lyrics that fit in perfectly with the whole "end of an era" feel we were going with on the DVD. And finally, "Cool" by Gwen Stefani. Usually, Gwen bugs the hell outta me when she tries to do her retro-Madonna-circa-1985 schtick, but OH MY WORD does it work wonderfully here! Great beat, sickeningly saccharine synths (like a ultra-rich chocolate truffle), lyrics that fit (more or less) with the theme of friendship, this song worked real well over a montage of pictures of kids and their friends.

jodigrind Posted June 22, 2008 Report Posted June 22, 2008 John Klemmer--Free Soul from "Blowin' Gold". Opinions may vary on Klemmer, but the dude could flat-out play, and did not hold back on this one. Quote
JSngry Posted June 22, 2008 Report Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) The Backroom Bandits - You Don't Know What Love Is Actually Kurt elling's version from Flirting With Twilight, still keeping the same tempo & basic feel, just tightening up the beat to where it's more like a Jamal/Fournier type fall-into-a-deep-mellow-trance thing. Outstanding. And I'm no "fan" of Elling's, but damn does he sound good here. Edited June 22, 2008 by JSngry Quote

David Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 "All Hail Kirby!" - Bobby Previte: Just Add Water With Ray Anderson, Joseph Bowie, and Marty Ehrlich laying down a mean vamp and Bobby propelling an infectious groove, this song rocks -- I love it. This was my first Previte album and I'll certainly be giving it some repeated listens in our household. Quote

There's another excellent version of this song under a different title (Anthem for Andrea) on Previte's Coalition of the Willing. Quote

paul secor Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Jimmy Witherspoon: Ain't Nobody's Business" from Spoon So Easy (Chess) Jimmy Witherspoon sings a fine vocal on his signature tune, backed by unknown musicians, including two tenor saxes (who do a back and forth sax break) and a guitarist (sounds to me like Robert Lockwood or Jody Williams, depending on when I listen) who plays some great jazzy blues guitar behind Spoon. One of those "perfect" blues records, like Jimmy Reed's "Honest I Do" or Bobby Bland's "Stormy Monday" - it can stand with both of those. It's amazing that it was recorded in 1956 and wasn't released for 34 years. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 I was knocked out at breakfast this morning by Kaloum Star - Maliba, from the Various Artists comp "Discotheque '74" Syliphone. I rarely listen to compilations, but picked the '74 and '76 more or less at random this morning - eyes too gummed together still to see what I was getting off the African shelf But this stopped me mid-muesli! Hot rhythm! Wailing band! Great Guinean style guitar; hard bop trumpet; semi-avant alto solo! Phhoooooo! MG Quote
WorldB3 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 Miles Davis - Bag's Groove. Both takes Been awhile since I have heard these, thanks to Jazzbo for reminding me to throw them on again.
