Peter Friedman Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 ""Keystone" from the Joe Henderson album MIRRORS,MIRRORS. This tune written by Ron Carter has, to my ears, a Monk feeling. A fine solo by Joe, and Chick Corea's solo is one of his best as a sideman. Billy Higgings playing here reminded me of Roy Haynes. Unfortunately, this tune plus "What's New" are the only tunes on the cd that I really like. But "Keystone" is so enjoyable that I need to keep the cd. Quote
colinmce Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 Anthony Braxton and Stuart Gilmour doing a soprano/piano duet on "Rosetta" from 14 Compositions (Traditional) 1996. What a wonderful and singular album in the man's discography! It starts out in a very polite mode before Anthony rips it apart like only he can. When he comes back to the head (on a dime!) he goes back to playing straight, but laces it with out-phrasing. Love it. Quote
B. Goren. Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Abbey Lincoln: When Malindy Sings. I'm not a vocal jazz fan but this is really an outstanding performance. Quote
Leeway Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 About 30 minutes into this CD (Track 1), Evan Parker unleashes a monster, jaw dropping sax solo that has to be heard to be believed. Even for Parker, this is a knock-out. Quote
B. Clugston Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Herbie Hancock, "Hornets" on Sextant. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 This morning's walk was made more enjoyable by this tune on my iPod. Jimmy Raney feat. Bobby Jaspar - "Tres Chouette' - from the Vogue CD with the title. Quote

paul secor Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Benny Waters: "As Time Goes By" from Hurry On Down (Storyville) Benny Waters' sax on this one just hit me right yesterday. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 2, 2010 Report Posted September 2, 2010 It had been a while, but I listened to Roberta Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face yesterday. The one thing I can agree with myself at age 13: This is the finest recording ever made. I don't care; it just is. Quote

Uncle Skid Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 It had been a while, but I listened to Roberta Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face yesterday. The one thing I can agree with myself at age 13: This is the finest recording ever made. I don't care; it just is. Speaking of Roberta Flack, the "best track" I've heard lately (in fact, I've been somewhat _obsessed_ with it lately): Hampton Hawes, "At The Piano", "Killing Me Softly With His Song"... Credit where credit is due: Ethan Iverson's blog (Do The Math) has mentioned this record more than once.... also, see (via DTM): JazzWax Quote

jazzbo Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 Miles Davis, "Spanish Key," Bitches Brew, (original mix via cd). I've known this piece since 1971 or so. . . but this week I've played it a few times and it stuck in my noggin, especially during a long motorcycle ride in the cool of the morning. Quote
John Tapscott Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 Dexter Gordon - "I Want More" from the Jazz Icons Series 2 Bonus DVD. Dex really digs in on this relatively short (for Dexter) track plus there's a great swinging piano solo by Tete Montoliu. Quote

jeffcrom Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 Paducah, Chocolate Dandies, by Don Redman, Okeh 8627. Great guitar solo, sounds like Lonnie Johnson! It is indeed Lonnie Johnson, sitting in with McKinney's Cotton Pickers masquerading for another record label. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 This morning on my iPod while taking my regular early 2 1/2 mile walk. "Number 7" by Yusef Lateef from his LIVE AT PEPS session. Quote
