Larry Kart Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Several from Baikida Carroll's "Marionettes on a Wire" (Omnitone), rec. 2000. Nice band: tenor saxophonist Erica Lindsay (new to me), pianist Adegoke Steve Colson (in adventurous form), bassist Michael Formanek, drummer Pheeron akLaff. Quote
John Tapscott Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Could really chose any track from this CD, but I'll choose track 4 "Mind Wine." This really is a terrific recording, one of the best I've heard recently. I've never heard Terence Blanchard play better than he does on these tracks. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 "Sweet Mama" by the Ellington band, solos by Cootie, Hodges, Nanton and Bigard. Recorded 12/10/29 for Brunswick. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' off the Charlie Haden/Pat Metheny 'Beyond the Missouri Sky'. Haunting tune, played here to perfection, every note choice spot on. Has sent me in search of other mistresses. Quote
kinuta Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Has to be Beverley Knight's take of Twist & Shout at Abbey Road Studios. See You Tube. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Actually have two: Night Shift -The Commodores I realize many people feel they ceased to be relavent after Richie left, but this mellow and touching tune became my absolute favorite fom their catalog. And... Stay At Peace - Fredrik Kronkvist Quartet I've never been a huge fan of ballads, so they have to be pretty special for me to really latch on. Most beautiful and haunting ballad I've heard since Branford's cover of Dinner For One Please, James. Quote
Shawn Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Easy Blues by Jimi Hendrix, from the upcoming People, Hell & Angels release. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Richard Thompson playing 'Did She Jump or Was She Pushed?' from 'Shoot Out the Lights' in Sheffield last night - really hit home. Quote
StarThrower Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' off the Charlie Haden/Pat Metheny 'Beyond the Missouri Sky'. Haunting tune, played here to perfection, every note choice spot on. Has sent me in search of other mistresses. John Hollenbeck recorded a great rendition of this tune on his new album, Songs I Like A Lot. Quote
Mike Schwartz Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Can't decide which single tune is a fave at this point; that said some great tunes on Dave Douglas' new release. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 'Diouwana' by Soundioulou Cissokho & Maa Hawa Kouyate from 'Le couple royal de la musique traditionelle a Paris' which I downloaded from Amazon a few weeks ago. Magic! MG Quote
BillF Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 "Griff's Groove" from this one. The eponymous G is a gas! Quote

Neal Pomea Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 Going to Acapulco Bob Dylan and Band on Basement Tapes. Forgot what an emotional highlight of the album this is. We remember Tears of Rage, Too Much of Nothing, and This Wheel's on Fire, but THIS one is right up there, imo. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted April 6, 2013 Report Posted April 6, 2013 "Winter Wine" off Caravan's 'In the Land of Grey and Pink'. The care that went into that song - lots of delicious key changes, a beautiful contrasting dreamy passage in the centre, some tremendous (and idiosyncratic) 'Canterbury' style organ; and a totally 'English' vocal delivery from Richard Sinclair (in an age when even English singers sounded like they'd spent too long in Memphis). Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Quote
Neal Pomea Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 Goin' to Acapulco, Bob Dylan and The Band on Basement Tapes. This is one of the best vocal performances on the album, if not the best overall. I generally think of Tears of Rage and This Wheel's on Fire as emotional high points of this album, especially for the lyrics, but this one is just terrific! And the guitar and organ on it really stick with me. Quote
paul secor Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Coleman Hawkins: "Since I Fell for You" on Bean and the Boys (Prestige) Hawk in his magnificence Quote
ejp626 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I actually have listened to very little Nick Cave and just was streaming a bit of his newest album, Push the Sky Away. It has some good moments, but I really like "The Higgs Boson Blues" and listen to it a couple of times a day: Edited April 11, 2013 by ejp626 Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 'Nova' second track on Jon Irabagon's trio recording with two guys I never heard of: Hernani Faustino on bass and Gabriel Ferrandini on drums. Irabagon is on alto for the whole recording Nova is alto with bass and maybe a cymbal or two by the end. Gorgeous Fwiw Irabagon's use of circular breathing if I'm hearing what he is doing correctly is quite organic when he employs the technique But track 2 is maybe most remembered on first listen due to the subtle bass improvisation morphing into a simple repetitive slow vamp by the end Also note the whole recording is freely improvised And again the sound quality is way beyond most anything I've heard released on more well known labels over the past few years On Not Two records Quote
Peter Friedman Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 "Paradise Squat" by Count Basie from the 1950's Verve Studio Recordings reissued on Mosaic Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted May 4, 2013 Report Posted May 4, 2013 Respect Sextet: Fred Anderson's 3 on 2 Great 14 minute version. Very unique take on Fred's great composition Quote
StarThrower Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 Minoat, from Mal Waldron's Enja release Moods. Fantastic cornet solo by Terumasa Hino. Quote
