Jay McShann playing 'Round Midnight from the album "Kansas City Hustle" (Sackville)

That is an album which deserves greater recognition. It is one of my favorite McShann albums.

[RDK]

Not specifically a track - there are two of 'em - but a tune: Enrico Pieranunzi's "The Kingdom (Where Nobody Dies)." Man is this beautiful! Found two versions on Emusic today: one by Mads Vinding's trio (with Enrico) and another with strings on Enrico's "Les Amants" album.

[B. Goren.]

Black. Duke Ellington, his private collection volume 8.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Bob Marley's "Redemption song" sung by Robbie Jansen, from the album "Nomad jez" (Mountain).

Robbie doesn't really sing very well, and doesn't play alto on this track at all, but the feeling behind it is soul-grabbing. He then goes on to play and sing "What's going on" with his son doing backup vocals. Again, the feeling behind the vocal is wrenching.

Some great music is coming out of South Africa.

Bobby Jones; Hill Country Suite

[king ubu]

not a track, really, but the title melody of Hitchcock's "Marnie", of course by Bernard Herman - kept haunting me for a couple of days. too bad Stephan Oliva didn't cover it on his "Ghosts of Bernard Herman" disc - would love to hear some jazz version(s) of that melody, and Oliva could pull that!

[Sundog]

Missile Blues by Wes Montgomery. Some very fine Mel Rhyne on this one as well!!

[jazzbo]

Sheik of Araby, Oscar Peterson Trio, Mosaic set. Just a great swinging track.

There is a pretty nice Marnie "suite" on this...

Marnie is one of my favorite Herrmann scores as well...absolutely gorgeous.
