Matthew Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I've listened and watched to this about a thousand times this week. Great for for the blues. Quote
Jimmer Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 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! Quote

Dan Gould Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) "If I Ever Had a Good Thing" by Johnny Adams Edit to note that it was composed by Tony Joe White, who also wrote "Rainy Night in Georgia". I never heard the man sing, but there ain't no way he does his own song as good as the one and only Johnny Adams. Edited April 16, 2009 by Dan Gould Quote

JSngry Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Donny Hathaway - "I Know It's You" from Extensions Of A Man Good lord, what a song, what a performance, what a record... one for the ages. Sometimes I hear something like this and ask myself how many musicians (or teams of musicians, after all it's a Leon Ware song, and Arif Mardin arrangement, and a Jerry Wexler/Arif Mardin production that Hathaway's damn near god-like vocal is divining) of any "style" could come up with such a fully perfect musical statement, and the answer is almost comically low. But hey - it can happen, and here it did. 30 + years later, I remain in awe. Quote
Big Al Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Jazz: Roy Eldridge's "Dale's Wail." Roy, Papa Jo, OP goin' apeshit on the organ. DAMN!!!! Rock: David Bowie's "Aladdin Sane." I actually heard this at the Austin Record Convention a couple weeks ago; was standing at one of the counters and heard this ridiculously catchy beat and tthen heard one of the wildest piano solos on a rock record this side of Jerry Lee Lewis. The guy running that stand was too busy for me to pester him, and all I could tell was that the record was "Changestwobowie." I didn't find out the name of the track until I got back home that night and listened to all the tracks. I love a song like that! Quote
BillF Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Coltrane's blues, "Equinox" from Coltrane's Sound. The young McCoy is wonderful, too. Quote
WorldB3 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 James Brown's "Funky Drummer" hard to top that one. my pick: Egberto Gismonti - 1. Dança Das Cabeças - Part 1 Quote
paul secor Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 New Orleans Wanderers: "Perdido Street Blues" Trane: "Chasin' the Trane" - Vanguard 11/2/61 Quote
Shawn Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 "Machine Messiah" by Yes. I never paid any attention to the Drama album because of it's reputation...but after listening to it, I can't for the life of me see what's so wrong with it. This song returns them to their "epic track" status and Steve Howe just KILLS on this sucker. A couple songs are dead on arrival, but for the most part I think this album is much better than Tormato (which had Anderson and Wakeman on board). Quote
