I love this new Thad/Mel "All My Yesterdays" set.  I don't think I've ever heard Hank Jones play better than he does throughout this set. Every one of his solos is just a gem that fits the music and complements the chart perfectly.

An den deutsche Mond (from: Das Kapital - Ballads & Barricades)

[Peter Friedman]

Most tracks here are damn good, but the tune "True Blue" is a special favorite.

9/3/77: Grateful Dead @ Englishtown, NJ: 20 minute rip-roaring transcendent version of "Not Fade Away"

[BillF]

Forgot about this one over the years, so rediscovering it has been great. "Dizzy Moods" is my track of choice.

[Buddha the Magnificent]

I have a 160 GB iPod in my truck that holds about half of my jazz mp3 files, and I usually set it to shuffle as I drive to the store or wherever.  This one really jumped out at me yesterday.  Parts of it remind me of the guitar work on Music to Eat, an old favorite from back in the day (also available on YouTube if this Nels Cline cut floats your boat).

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

"At the Crossroads" from Sir Douglas Quintet: Mendocino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=594XG32OGvI

"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.

What's weird (to me) is Mott the Hoople doing this tune...but in a good way.

The Dells "Ain`t No Sunshine"  (LP Cadet "Give Your Baby A Standing Ovation")       1973

The Great Jazz Trio (Hank/Ron/Tony) playing Tony's Pink Lady on an album from 1978.  I got it from CDJapan recently.  The original Great Jazz Trio in all its glory.  Tony kicks it up a bit and makes Hank sweat.  Nah, not really, but it is a spirited tune well played.

 

the album is The Great Tokyo Meeting on East Wind.

Info

"Cedar's Blues" from Disc 1.. Phil certainly doesn't sound like a man who is struggling with COPD. His solo is very powerful.

 

 

 

[Peter Friedman]

The tune "Moonlight Walk" from this CD.

[BillF]

"Milestones #1" from this. Love all four tunes from the 1947 session with Bird on tenor!

Not a week and not even a track, but I can't resist the bit of this clip where Barry Harris tells Dutch music students about the changes they need for "the old time slow blues":

Powerful wailing music. Do you have a more precise date for this? I thought that by 1966, McCoy (and probably Elvin) had left the band.

Yes very good indeed .... also highly doubt this was recorded in 1966, but all research regarding "Impressions" recorded @ France in 1965 generated different versions - therefore did hope sharung this video would bring up the solution via a knowledgeable Forum Member .... maybe we should put it into a "Request Thread " ?

Duke's "Don't You Know I Care (Or Don't You Care to Know)" arranged by Don Menza; with the soulful Joe Romano on a wonderful  tenor solo. Joe was the real deal.

While living in Joe Romano's home town of Rochester, New York, I had an opportunity to hear him live many many times. Heard him play alto with a local big band about 3 or 4 times, and tenor in a quartet he headed numerous times. I preferred him on tenor, though he was best known for playing alto in a number of name bands.

Joe was a fabulous musician,with a great deal of passion in his playing. Unfortunately he only made one small group recording as leader, but it's a fine one.
