The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 Just listening now toEdgar Hayes Orchestra - Caravan - DeccaWonderful not quite cover of Duke Ellington's new tune, done 2 weeks after Duke's version, which Hayes almost certainly hadn't heard - but his manager was Irving Mills, who probably gave or loaned him a copy of the music. A very different approach from Duke's.MG Quote

uli Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 certainly the best by a "cat".but honestly it's the only one I have heard this week in the"cat"egory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reW2kNg6-50 Quote
Sundog Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 "All of You" from My Funny Valentine- Miles Davis In Concert Very clever the way they use the signature chord progression from Seven Steps to Heaven as an interlude between George and Herbie's solos. Quote
Leeway Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 "FOXY" - might be the best (and worst) track this week. 78 minutes of uninterrupted citations from the tenor sax playbook. Quote

Balladeer Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Hot Lips Page - You´d be frantic, too A blues that puts goose pimples on my arms And when Lucky Thompson blows his solo before HLP finishes this piece with a growl of his muted trumpet I´m knocked out! Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 "Love Man" from Horn Culture by Sonny Rollins. I gushed about this amazing track from an otherwise mediocre album on another thread late last night, so I listened again today to see if it held up to the cold light of day. Yep - and I even noticed some things I didn't catch last night. It's a blues in C minor, and there's a section where Sonny plays a series of phrases in the low register - each one ending lower: C, then down to A, and then A flat, the lowest note on the tenor. It's obvious that he wants to resolve this section to G, but that note is not on the horn. No problem - he takes it down to G anyway, by lipping the pitch down and partially stopping the bell with his leg. Quote

Peter Friedman Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 "Quintessence" from - It's A Good Day - by the Rossano Sportiello Trio on Arbors. As far as I know, this is only the second recording of this lovely Quincy Jones tune by a piano trio. The other trio version is by Hank Jones. Rossano plays it beautifully! Quote

It's a beautiful tune. I haven't heard Rossano's version, but it's also on Coleman Hawkins' Here and Now, Roland Kirk's Left & Right and Jesper Thilo has recorded it with Hank Jones. The wonders of the Spotify index! Quote

jazzbo Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 This one has just been like an emotional earworm for me this week, not sure why, but it's a great performance. From "Lost on the River" which is a great cd where others write songs based on Bob Dylan lyrics he never turned into a song. "Kansas City" sung by Marcus Mumford Quote
paul secor Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNTIaFuLSdA Linton Kwesi Johnson Bass Culture A long time favorite. Quote
