"Nica's Dream"

[Steve Reynolds]

Grateful Dead:

Viola Lee Blues 5/2/70

 

[paul secor]

"Moon Song" from:

Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson

[Steve Reynolds]

Lots of incredible stuff but the choice is the second 16+ minute track from "Hotel Grief" - unexplainable and uncategorizable

Tommy Dorsey - Who (1937). I don't have this on CD or LP, but I have a mid-50s RCA "shaded dog" 78 reissue - the same label that most of Elvis's RCA recordings appeared on in 78 form. Once the vocal is over, we have a good Tommy Dorsey trombone solo, sandwiched by absolutely stunning solos be Pee Wee Erwin on trumpet and Bud Freeman on tenor.

The Lafayette Afro Rock Band "Red Matchbox" .... a Mal Waldron composition ....

[BillF]

"Satin Doll" from this:

Perfect bridge crossing by Roy Eldridge on the theme restatement.

I listened to a fair amount of Merle Haggard this past week - many great performances. Here are two:

"The Man Who Picked the Wildwood Flower" - a song written by Merle's friend, Tommy Collins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpmpo5OI2MU

"Leonard" - Merle's tribute to Tommy Collins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZUkzcJoqUI

Lil Darling on Wes Montgomery's One Night in Indy CD.  A fantastic interpretation.

I can't think why I didn't buy this record.  Maybe I wasn't that impressed by the bands live show.  I probably shouldn't have overlooked it.

I hadn't listened to it for years, though I had very good memories of it. When I did last week, the memories were confirmed - especially side 1.

"Tears Inside" from this:

Art's beautiful take on the Ornette composition.

[paul secor]

Hasn't been a week, but what the hey.

"At the Crossroads" from Sir Douglas Quintet: Mendocino

"But you just cain't live in Texas/If you don't have a lotta soul"

Some people think that New York City is a weird place. I've always thought that Texas was much stranger. No offense to any Texans in the audience.

You can't.  They throw you out otherwise.  When we moved here, we had to spend a lot of time proving we had a lot of soul.  And then there were the bureaucratic debates: Exactly how much soul is a lotta soul?  What are the measuring units?  How much soul can leak out per year before you fall below the lotta soul benchmark?  In the end, they let us stay, but warned us we needed to maintain our lotta soul ranking, and there may be spot inspections.  We thanked them kindly, and have enjoyed it here since.

"Lover Man" from Disc 2. Great arrangement, and a marvelous solo performance by Joe Farrell.

After decades I gave "To Musicians Only" (Diz, Stitt, Getz) a spinning, forgot how good it is, Track ? My biggest surprise was "Dark Eyes", great the short latin section where Diz starts his solo....

Three postings! I can see that Org's daily antics happen an hour or so later in your part of the world, Gheorghe!
