paul secor Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 A couple: Leothus "Lee" Green: "The Way I Feel" from Lee Green Vol. 2 - 1930 -1937 (Document) - Sounds like a song I've heard elsewhere, but I can't place it. Lee Green does it beautifully. and Warne Marsh: "I Have a Good One for You" - alternate take 5 from All Music (Nessa) Quote
JohnS Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Hard to choose this week as I've played some Cecil Taylor Candids (some of thje most exciting piano music ever) and Debenge - Debenge by Dennis Gonzalez. Both fine recordings, can't really identify an individual track. Quote
poetrylover3 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 My track of the week is Duke Ellington's "Ko-Ko"-lots of mystery and substance here from the Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band box set. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Dexter Gordon with Junior Mance - "Body and soul", from "Dexter Gordon at Montreux" on Prestige. Dex had a go at doing this song with a "Maiden voyage" feeling in the studio for Prestige, but this live verson hits the feel perfectly. MG Quote
BillF Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 "Swingin' at Newport" from Count Basie at Newport (Verve) Electric atmosphere! Quote
colinmce Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 "Ascension (Edition II)" I think for the first time I've finally "heard" it. Quote
paul secor Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Bowie/Mitchell/Favors: "Number 1" from Lester Bowie: All the Numbers (Nessa) Quote
Brad Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 "Living in the Material World" by George Harrison, off the album of the same name. Quote
Shawn Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Dexter Gordon with Junior Mance - "Body and soul", from "Dexter Gordon at Montreux" on Prestige. Dex had a go at doing this song with a "Maiden voyage" feeling in the studio for Prestige, but this live verson hits the feel perfectly. MG That entire At Montreux album is an ass-kicker, love it!

BFrank Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Completely caught me by surprise: Alvin Queen "Europia," from his "Jammin' Uptown" album. S-M-O-K-I-N'!!!! Quote
JohnS Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 It's got to be something from George Adams' America. Blue Note Quote
Matthew Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) Soft Cell: It's A Mug's Game. Extended mix, of course. Call me strange, but the 1980's were a great rock decade. Edited November 29, 2009 by Matthew Quote
Matthew Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 For the past couple of days, I haven't been able to get this performance out of my mind: Quote
king ubu Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 maybe Suzie Q. - excited about the whole CCR 40th Anniversary box! Quote
ejp626 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Posted December 8, 2009 A Street in Bombay - Amancio D'Silva This is from an album that went unreleased for ages and then came out as Konkan Dance. There may have been some unaddressed rights issues, as it has vanished and fetches over $80 used (well, sometimes the LP can be had for more like $30-40). Too bad! It's sort of in the same vein as Miles in India, but actually I think this works better. I'm listening to it off the Impressed 2 CD mixed by Gilles Peterson (itself on the rarish side). Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 8, 2009 Report Posted December 8, 2009 Listening to honkers all day, Eddie Chamblee's 1953 recording of "Lonesome road" for United stopped me in my tracks (it's a long time since I played that LP, because I have more than half of it on CD). "WHO THE FUCK IS THAT PIANIST!!!!????" Well, he's not bad, y'know. Young Johnny Young MG Quote
Sundog Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Shorty Rogers And His Giants- Martians Go Home. Nice quirky laid back groove on this one. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Call me strange, but the 1980's were a great rock decade. I'll call you strange if you want, but I won't disagree with you. I still think of eighties rock (or, to be more accurate for me, 1976-1986 rock) as a strange and wonderful oddity. When I sold off my music a while back, the 80's vinyl went nowhere! Quote
Matthew Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) I think I'm starting to go off the deep end with my rock choices, but I love this stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19Knfvn-g-E. Edited December 13, 2009 by Matthew Quote
Matthew Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) OH MY GOSH!! I cannot tell you how much I love this single from Avi Buffalo, great pop music. Avi Buffalo: What's In It For Edited December 18, 2009 by Matthew Quote
Larry Kart Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 For the past couple of days, I haven't been able to get this performance out of my mind: Coleman Hawkins Quintet: Stoned. That's on the new Hawkins Jazz Icons DVD -- in a good deal better sound than on this clip. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Posted December 19, 2009 This week it's been Andy Bey's version of "Hey Love!" on "It Ain't Necessarily So." It's a high point for me on a mountainous album. Quote
Matthew Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Intervention! I've had to make many drives to Northern California and Tucson in the past months, and I always wind up listening to a couple of hours of Sirius XM U, which is the "indie rock" satellite radio station. I guess you could say it's influencing my taste in rock. Look on the bright side -- I could have linked The Big Pink: Dominos. Quote
