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

Looking at his website and at Wikipedia, it doesn't appear that he's recording much anymore - pretty much dub compilations and live recordings. Too bad - he made some great records. His record company does appear to have recorded some musicians associated with him and also other artists. Quote

Buddha the Magnificent Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 There's a Soundcloud cut of Chillin' from Rudresh Mahathappa's new album Bird Calls on Dave Sumner's Bird is the Worm. That cut is silly good. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) 'Come Back to Me' - I don't know the Janet Jackson record this is based on but this arrangement really wormed its way into my skull last night. Haven't played the record in many years but the moment it began it reminded me of how it had done the same thing way back when. Edited February 18, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote
