The Dirty Mac (John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards (bass), Mitch Mitchell) playing "Yer Blues" on The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus, and just wondering what might've been. These guys more than clicked.

Also, Charles Mingus entire OH YEAH album just because it made me say "OH YEAH!!!"

"You, Mysterious You" by The Originals. Words fail me on this one, other than to say that.....words fail me. There's really nothing else quite like this, at least not that I know of, especially in the Motown oeuvre as of 1969. Stunning in its subtle yet thoroughly era-bending originality, totally predictable in its subsequent obscurity.

Not heard until Saturday night, and not posted until now becuase I wanted to make sure I was hearing what I thought I was hearing. I was.

There's more "Oh Yeah" on Tonight at Noon.

Oh yeah! I should've been more specific and mentioned that I was listening to the Rhino CD of the album (thanks to a fruitful stop at the Arlington Half-Price Books where someone had unloaded all three of Mingus' Atlantic Rhino CDs), the one that has all six tracks from that session.

Oh Yeah indeed! :)

There's an amazing incomplete version of Hog Callin' Blues on the Birdland Broadcasts, with Yusef Lateef playing solo tenor, and Kirk playing background riffs--it is fantastic, but then the tape abruptly ends after little more than 3 minutes.

Al, the complete version would have 10 tracks - 7 from the original album and 3 more from Tonight At Noon.

You are correct. I was posting last night without the CD in front of me; I have all three with me at work right now and I realize I was thinking of THE CLOWN disc, which has the four original LP tracks and two tracks that ended up on TONIGHT AT NOON.

I really shouldn't post after midnight. ;)

Freddie Hubbard: title track of Red Clay (studio version)

Very late in getting round to hearing this for the first time, but now, thanks to Spotify ... !

"Lady Luck", by Joe Lovano and Hank Jones from "Kids" (BN) . I love this Thad Jones tune no matter who does it, and Joe and Hank do a great version on this magnificent CD (one of my favorites from the last couple of years)

Roscoe Mitchell: "Off Five Dark Six" from Nonaah (Nessa)

and

Pres: "I'm Confessin' that I Love You" from Lester Young in Washington, D.C., 1956 (Pablo)

Both of these gave me a sense of the man behind the saxophone he was blowing through.

Hell, if I know why, but Mary Wells' "You Beat Me To The Punch" is really resonating right now. The whole thing, song, arrangement, sound of the record, and especially Wells' phrasing & enunciation, which is deeply, soulfully sexy, maybe more so than I'd noticed before.

Hardly the Greatest Music Ever Made, but oh well about that. Great will always be there. It's the transient treasures that give flavor & dimension.

Yesterday morning during the drive to work, 91.1 (the jazz station here in the Toronto area) played "Blues For Pres, Sweets, Ben & All The Other Funky Ones" from Sonny Stitt's Sits In With The Oscar Peterson Trio. Let's just say it left such an impression on me that the first thing I listened to today was the whole album!
