paul secor Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 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. Quote

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. Quote

Gheorghe Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 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.... Quote

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.

BillF Posted May 17, 2016 Report Posted May 17, 2016 Forgot about this one over the years, so rediscovering it has been great. "Dizzy Moods" is my track of choice. Quote
Buddha the Magnificent Posted May 20, 2016 Report Posted May 20, 2016 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). Quote

six string Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) 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.

John Tapscott Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 "Cedar's Blues" from Disc 1.. Phil certainly doesn't sound like a man who is struggling with COPD. His solo is very powerful. Quote
