sidewinder Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sam Rivers "Beatrice" Remember seeing him play this tune on his last tour of the UK. Quote
paul secor Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Willie Walker: "South Carolina Rag" from Mama Let Me Lay It on Your (Yazoo) Willie Walker only recorded a handful of sides before he passed, but they were enough to make his reputation as one of the finest guitarists in the history of the blues.

danasgoodstuff Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 From James Brown's "Soul Pride: The Instrumentals"--The King Tighten Up (with an extended jazz trumpet solo by Waymon Reed, which is exciting) Waymon Reed had an interesting career, for a musician few people have heard of. Worked with Ira Sullivan, James Brown, Count Basie, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, All Star Trumpet Spectacular and Sarah Vaughan (to whom he was married), before dying of cancer. Nice leader date on Artists House, IIRC Quote
John Tapscott Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" -- 11 plus minutes of joyous, uplifting, hard swing. From: This music is 20 years old. Hard to believe that Nick, John and Dick have left us. Of all the wonderful Nick Brignola CD's on Reservoir this one may be my favorite. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Handel "Eternal Source of Light Divine" I believe this is something of a lollipop cropping up on Handel vocal discs, baroque trumpet records, general classical favourite records and in it's setting in a birthday Ode for Queen Anne. I have it on a few discs but it stopped me in my tracks on this new one: The way the trumpet (cornet? HIP thingy?) and voice interweave just makes the world stand still.

John Tapscott Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 "Passion Flower" from Not only is Hodges exquisite but the band plays the arrangement superbly and the whole performance is enhanced by the fine recording quality. Quote

Peter Friedman Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Stan Getz - the tune Prezervation from the album with the same title. This blues is an alternate take of Crazy Chords that is on a different album. It lwas recorded in 1949 with Al Haig, Gene Ramey and Stan Levey. Quote
BillF Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Stan Getz - the tune Prezervation from the album with the same title. This blues is an alternate take of Crazy Chords that is on a different album. It lwas recorded in 1949 with Al Haig, Gene Ramey and Stan Levey. I really like that one, Peter. A 12 bar blues on altered changes, with a key change at the beginning of every chorus - or so it sounds to my amateur ear. Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Hadn't heard it for a while, but I really enjoyed "West Side Story Medley" from The CD sound is great, the band is tight and inspired, the soloists are good, Rich's solo is shorter than the usual live versions. A great Bill Reddie arrangement. Lead trumpeter Bobby Shew left his blood on this chart (literally, according to later Rich lead trumpet players). Edited March 6, 2014 by John Tapscott Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 OK - 2nd time in a week. "Easy Living" from Could have chosen "Come Rain or Come Shine", equally as good. Love this CD. Can't file it away just yet. Quote
blind-blake Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 I love that Frank Wess CD, as well. Have u heard 201? Am curious if it's as good. Hard to believe, but you never know. Just listening to this, which blew me away. Not jazz, but still great. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 "Hey Harold" from this new SHM-CD. There's weather reports, and then there's this seismic forecast. Just sounded and felt so so good this week. Quote
