danasgoodstuff Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Damn, I loves me some Stax records - Wm Bell "I Forgot to Be Your Lover" which I've appended to my cassette copy of Soul of a Bell 'cause I love that track from '68 but generally like earlier Stax better & Eddie Floyd "Something You Got" from the Knock On Wood album, amix tape of Memphis does New Orleans may be in the offing.

Joe Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Bud Powell's rendition of "I Remember Clifford" from the so-called "Edenville holiday" tapes of 1964 (originally issued on Mythic Sound, then again on a Pablo disc entitled BEBOP.) The piano is badly out of tune, the fidelity (uh...) informal, and I've always found Golson's elegy a little staid, even drab, but Bud, here on the cusp of his final decline, colors and shades the tune masterfully. And he finds a seam of deep, deep emotion here and mines it like no other modern jazz pianist could. Quote
venusbloo Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Anita O'Day-Sweet Georgia Brown, where has she been all my life??? My link Quote
Tom 1960 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) From the album Oceans in The Sky by Steve Kuhn, his take on Kenny Dorham's Lotus Blossom. Edited January 17, 2011 by Tom 1960 Quote
Matthew Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 So What off of George Benson's album Beyond the Blue Horizon. Benson's solo is very good. Quote
JohnS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Art Pepper; The Great Lie. From Chet Baker/Art Pepper The Route on Pacific Jazz. Art with just Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levey in 1956. Nice to (re)discover an overlooked or just forgotten gem. Quote
BillF Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Art Pepper; The Great Lie. From Chet Baker/Art Pepper The Route on Pacific Jazz. Art with just Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levey in 1956. Nice to (re)discover an overlooked or just forgotten gem. Nice one! Also like Shorty Rogers' great arrangement and Gene Ammons' great solo on the original "The Great Lie" by the Herman band. Quote
paul secor Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Bobby "Blue" Bland: "It's My Life, Baby" from The "3B" Blues Boy (Ace) - 1955 cut where Bobby Bland first sounds like BOBBY "BLUE" BLAND, and Roy Gaines' playing is like fire on the guitar strings. Quote
Chicago Expat Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Morris Nanton Trio - "Soul Fingers" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmVNA26OX1c Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 João Gilberto - Aquarela do Brasil (off Amoroso) It has two amazing melodies that would make distinct songs by themselves. Together... Great version by Jobim on 'Stone Flower' too. Quote
colinmce Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Roland Kirk Quartet - "No Tonic Pres" Heard it many times before, but damn damn damn that is a ferocious tune. One of the baddest groups ever assembled. The rest of the album is just as fine, of course. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Charles Mingus - "Meditations on Integration", Belgium 1964 (Jazz Icons DVD). Hole. Lee. Shit. Eric Dolphy makes me want to cry. Quote
John Tapscott Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Charles Mingus - "Meditations on Integration", Belgium 1964 (Jazz Icons DVD). Hole. Lee. Shit. Eric Dolphy makes me want to cry. The whole DVD is remarkable. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 That sort of stuff used to happen all the time - when most of jazz was alive. Quote

Dan Gould Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I'm somewhat ashamed to mention that James Carr was a name completely new to me but I'm real glad I heard "Pouring Water on a Drowning Man". Quote
paul secor Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I'm somewhat ashamed to mention that James Carr was a name completely new to me but I'm real glad I heard "Pouring Water on a Drowning Man". A wonderful singer and a wonderful record. Quote
Dan Gould Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I'm somewhat ashamed to mention that James Carr was a name completely new to me but I'm real glad I heard "Pouring Water on a Drowning Man". A wonderful singer and a wonderful record. Indeed! And now I am taking the full plunge and have on order the "complete Goldwax recordings" and am leaning toward taking the plunge on at least one of the Ace compilations of the Goldwax label. My brother, who knows the soul genre much better than I do, sent me a link to an NPR piece on the label, that's how I found out about Carr. Quote
paul secor Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Bobby Bland: "Stormy Monday Blues" from Bobby Bland: The Voice (Ace) I must have heard this tune at least 50 times, but Wayne Bennett's guitar playing never ceases to amaze me - perfection! Quote
Chicago Expat Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Michel Portal - "Champ d'honneur" Link to Youtube video of song I was introduced to Portal just this week and now I'm searching down as much stuff of his music that I can listen to as I decide which albums to get. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Hank Jones Trio playing "Bemsha Swing" from the Hank Jones Trio CD on Storyville with Mads Vinding and Al Foster. Hank swings hard and his solo is deliciously inventive. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Maceo Parker "Children's World" from Roots Revisited, and a lot of Hank Crawford 'cause there's a lot of Hank in Maceo. I'm somewhat ashamed to mention that James Carr was a name completely new to me but I'm real glad I heard "Pouring Water on a Drowning Man". A wonderful singer and a wonderful record. Indeed! And now I am taking the full plunge and have on order the "complete Goldwax recordings" and am leaning toward taking the plunge on at least one of the Ace compilations of the Goldwax label. My brother, who knows the soul genre much better than I do, sent me a link to an NPR piece on the label, that's how I found out about Carr. IMHO, there's only a few more by James Carr as good as "Pouring Water", but then there's not that much by anyone as good as that....enjoy! Quote

Sundog Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 The new wave funk (is that even a genre?) of Weather Report, D-Flat Waltz. Hard to play this song just once! I think I've played it at least a dozen times in the last couple of days. Quote
