jazzbo Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Water Babies, Miles Davis, all of side one really but especially "Capricorn." I get really bored by Shorter often I must confess, but he's pure brilliance here, and clearly demonstrates he was then a master of the saxophone too. Edited March 9, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
Hot Ptah Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) "My Favorite Things" on Sun Ra's "Some Blues But Not The Kind That's Blue." Water Babies, Miles Davis, all of side one really but especially "Capricorn." I get really bored by Shorter often I must confess, but he's pure brilliance here, and clearly demonstrates he was then a master of the saxophone too. I loved "Water Babies" when it was first released. Side 1 got very heavy play in our little college apartment of jazz fanatics. Side 2, not so much. Edited March 9, 2010 by Hot Ptah Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 Not quite the right thread for this, but I think that maybe Bunny Berigan recorded the worst song ever written in 1936: "The Goona Goo." Berigan plays well, and the instrumental parts aren't bad, but when Art Gentry started singing the lyrics I thought the floor was going to split and open a portal to hell. I'm too scared to reproduce the lyrics here, but if you're brave enough, they are here. Quote
JohnS Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 Really enjoyed Donald Byrd's Chant lp this week. Several fine tracks but I especially liked "That's All". Quote
paul secor Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 Charles Ives: "Study No. 9 - The Abolitionist Riots" (1943 recording) from Ives Plays Ives Quote
Uncle Skid Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Jackie McLean, "Rene", from "Let Freedom Ring". There's quite a conversation going on in this tune... lots of great moments from all players, but I especially like the one note exchanges around 6:55 or so. Quote
Matthew Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Caroline No (a capella). Short, and even more heartbreaking then the album version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qti_9EuE22o&feature=related Quote

jazzbo Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Posted March 15, 2010 I can't decide if it's "Blues for Louise" or "Jitterbug Waltz" from Zoot Sims' "Warm Tenor" on Pablo. One of my favorite Zoots! Quote
Matthew Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 Moby Grape's 16 minute version of Dark Magic, recorded at the Avalon Ballroom, December 31, 1966. Awesome psychedelic madness. Quote

JohnS Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 "They Call The Wind Maria". From Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Selection From Lerner and Loewe. RCA Love the way Griffins leaps out on this track. Quote
porcy62 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Booker Lttle's Out Front, all the record, with a light preference for side 2. Actually I never listen to this record before, I am pretty familiar with most of Booker's playing as sideman, but this record is an astounding surprise. Edited March 29, 2010 by porcy62 Quote
Big Al Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Jazz: Roy and Diz throwing off the mutes halfway thru "Blue Moon" as the Oscar Peterson Trio fans the flames from underneath as the old lions sail off into the stratosphere!!! Rock: Grand Funk Railroad's "Queen Bee" because of the mental image that popped into my head when I heard it, which was so insanely disturbing, I've been trying to get it out of my head. It doesn't help, unfortunately, that a very small, dark, and psychotic part of me kinda enjoys it. Quote
kh1958 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Booker Lttle's Out Front, all the record, with a light preference for side 2. Actually I never listen to this record before, I am pretty familiar with most of Booker's playing as sideman, but this record is an astounding surprise. I listened to Out Front and its companion recording on Bethleham very many times. Two great records. Quote
Hot Ptah Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Frank Zappa and a 20 piece band (with full big band reed and brass sections) playing "The Grand Wazoo" live in Boston, on the 2007 release "Wazoo". This is the most fun song to listen to on this often rather challenging release. Quote
John L Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 "Johnny G.G." from the Johnny Griffin Sextet on Riverside. Kenny Drew sets down the blue mood exquisitely with Wilbur Ware and Philly Joe. Then Griff comes in for the kill, gradually picking up the intensity in his extended solo and then bends some blue grit high notes over the horn riffs. Mmmmmm, good! Quote
BillF Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Jazz: Roy and Diz throwing off the mutes halfway thru "Blue Moon" as the Oscar Peterson Trio fans the flames from underneath as the old lions sail off into the stratosphere!!! Yes, that's a great moment! Quote
