medjuck Posted November 4, 2010 Report Posted November 4, 2010 Bemsha Swing-- The Thelonious Monk Trio. I'm driving in my car and hear on the radio what I presume is a live Monk version of Bemsha Swing: the piano is out of tune and tinny, the sound is terrible and I think I hear people in the audience talking. But the music is terrific-- there's extraordinary interaction between Monk and the drummer. So when I get to my office I check out the playlist on KJAZZ's website and discover that it's not a live recording it's from the Prestige release called just "Thelonious Monk Trio" and the drummer is Max Roach. The piano is out of tune and badly recorded but what I thought was noise from the audience is Monk doing his vocalizing. This is a record that gets no love from critics but I bought it anyway and it's my favorite Monk trio date. (Actually it's 3 dates, 2 with Blakey and one with Roach. Quote

paul secor Posted November 14, 2010 Report Posted November 14, 2010 Sam Montgomery: "Where the Sweet Old Oranges Grow" from The Slide Guitar - Bottles, Knives & Steel Vol. 2 (Columbia/Legacy) A perfect record - Montgomery plays and sings the tune as if he has all the time in the world to play it. And it only took 50+ years for it to be released. Quote

jazzbo Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Posted December 27, 2010 Son of a preacher man here found that "Bolero/(Hey Baby) New Rising Sun" from the new Jimi Hendrix box set "West Coast Seattle Boy" was the track of the week. Great to practice drumming to. Quote

Christiern Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 The best track I heard this past week is Mahalia Jackson's original Apollo recording of Silent Night. It stunned me when I first heard it on the Danish radio about 60 years ago, and it continues to take my breath away. Apropos breath, according to the rules, Mahalia's breathing is all "wrong" on this recording, yet it is so right. If you haven't heard this gem, make sure you do so, but skip the Columbia version—they did their best to remove the Mahalia magic, and sometimes they almost succeeded. On the Apollo recording, she is accompanied only by Mildred Falls at the organ. That's really all Mahalia needed. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 "Clarinade" from the Mosaic Records box set of Classic Columbia and Okeh Benny Goodman Orchestra Sessions (Disk 5). I don't know what it is about it, but Benny is absoultely perfect and swingin'. Normally I am listening to Blue Note or Ellington and Basie, but this whole set is wonderful. Quote
BFrank Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 "Rise," Gary Bartz and Nu Troop. I got no problem with THAT. Those first two Ntu Troop albums are classics. Best track of the week for me was a pop tune, Janelle Monae "Cold War" Quote

John Tapscott Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 "L'Homme a la Moto" from The Wynton Marsalis Quintet & Richard Galliano - "From Billie Holiday to Edith Piaf" Yeah, yeah, I know it's Wynton, but this is a very exciting track with some fiery exchanges and interplay between WM and accordianist Galliano who is a really amazing player, whom you can see in action on the accompnaying DVD.
