Shawn Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 "Blues Eleganté" by Kenny Dorham and The Jazz Prophets, from their eponymous 1956 ABC / Paramount session. Because it is just so very, very decidedly hip. That's a great one! Quote

paul secor Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 My Walking Stick by Louis Armstrong with the Mills Brothers 1938......this track is a hoot . Without my walking stick i'd go insane can't look my best i'd feel undressed without my cane Must have my walking stick cause it may rain and when it pours can't be outdoors without my cane. If you like that one, you'll probably like the Golden Gate Quartet's version from a year later. Quote
paul secor Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Charlie Johnson and his Paradise Band: "The Boy in the Boat" from Hot Notes - New York Volume 1 1926-1929 (Frog) Could have chosen one of several other Charlie Johnson tracks on this compilation, but this one stood out.

jazzbo Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 "When did I Stop Loving You (When did You Stop Loving Me)" on Marvin Gaye's "Here, My Dear" (I've been listening to the Hip-O Select expanded version) Quote
jazzbo Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Posted December 21, 2008 Okay the next standout track for me is "My Foolish Heart," Bill Evans Trio, the version on "Waltz for Debbie" (I listen to the K2 version). Just. . . so beautiful, so controlled and moving. Quote
Shrdlu Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 "Café del Mar", Michael Woods Out of Office remix. Great mix, with heavy bass riff. (The original song is based on a composition by a Belgian "classical" composer, called "Struggle for Pleasure". Both it and the new mix can be heard online.) Quote
Neal Pomea Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 John Fahey and his Orchestra: Om Shanthi Norris, from After the Ball Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Nat Adderley - title track from "Blue autumn", on Theresa, with Sonny Fortune, Larry Willis, Walter Booker & Jimmy Cobb. Had the LP a long time, but the other day, this stopped me in my tracks (again ) Agree with Hot Ptah that Fortune is better as a sideman. MG Quote
blajay Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Don Wilkerson--Cookin' With Clarence from Shoutin'! session on the Complete Blue Note Conn. I was caught listening to this at a party when friends came back from a cigarette break with my headphones on, my eyes shut, and my head bobbing. Someone needed to ask if I was ok. I said, I'm great!

zen archer Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Colonized Mind By PRINCE ...best track of the week and the whole year . Quote

Yes indeed! You know you've got too many records when you can only get albums like this one out once in a twelvemonth. Must play it soon. MG Quote

Tom 1960 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 "Concierto De Aranjuez" by Jim Hall from the album "Concierto". Chet Baker's playing here I can only describe as haunting. Paul Desmond whom I've never been a huge fan of, is absolutely perfect here. Played this ALOT this past week. Quote
blajay Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Wayne Shorter--Juju, title track. Played it like 5 times since leaving work yesterday evening. Quote

Paul Desmond whom I've never been a huge fan of, is absolutely perfect here. Played this ALOT this past week. A favorite of mine too. I like it better than Miles' version. Quote

paul secor Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Bud Powell: "Un Poco Loco" and "You Go To My Head" from The Amazing Bud Powell Volume One (BN RVG) I never get tired of listening to "Un Poco Loco", no matter how many times I hear it. Quote
Shawn Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 The week is young, but so far it's "Eddy's Dilemna" from Lem's Beat with Oliver Nelson. The type of laid-back groove that always gets me. Quote
