AndrewHill Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Sun Ra-Worlds Approaching-Strange Strings Just an amazing track-gotta be my favorite track of Ra's! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' - Sarah Vaughan, from 'No Count Sarah'. Oooh, I wanna hear that. Quote
John Tapscott Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 "Woe is Me" by Johnny Griffin from Johnny's 1990 "The Cat" CD - one of Johnny's very slow ballads, and especially moving under the circumstances (actually the whole CD is a masterful representation of Johnny's playing and reveals how great he was at any tempo.) Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' - Sarah Vaughan, from 'No Count Sarah'. Oooh, I wanna hear that. Yeah - it really hit me square between the eyes...beautiful playing (of course!) from the band, wonderful arrangement, and the way she rephrases the melody is really special! Quote
Noj Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 "Beale Street Blues" from Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges Play The Blues Back To Back. Quote
JSngry Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Out of left field - "Yesterday" by The Singers Unlimited, from The Complete A Capella Sessions. Much more a dark, subliminally psychotic madrigal than a simple Beatles cover. Seriously. Quote
paul secor Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Jesse Winchester: "All of Your Stories" from Third Down, 110 To Go (Bearsville LP) Edited July 27, 2008 by paul secor Quote
Neal Pomea Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Richard M. Jones' Jazz Wizards, Jazzin' Baby Blues, on Victor 21203A, 11-7-1927 (side B was Boar Hog Blues) What a rumbling start! Great tuba by Cyrus St. Clair, as usual. Quote

paul secor Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Muhal Richard Abrams: "Young at Heart" from Young at Heart/Wise in Time (Delmark) Quote
WorldB3 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 La Leyenda del Cañaveral - David Sanchez - Cultural Survival Excellent new release. Will be on my short list for best of 2008. Close Up The Honky Tonks - Dwight Yoakam - Dwight Sings Buck One of the all time great covers. One of the few times I can recall playing a song back to back five times in a row. Dwight's next record could be Dwight Sings Phone Book and I will buy it because I love his voice that much. Quote

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Probably 'Olean Visit' from Jaki Byard's 'On the Spot.' Damn that's a great swinger! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 More than you know, by Coleman Hawkins, from The Hawk relaxes, MV; followed up immediately by More than you know, by Stanley Turrentine, from ZT's blues, BN. Two very different interpretations, both recorded in 1961, both wonderful in their different ways. MG Quote
kinuta Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Maybe The Worm -Jimmy McGriff and Satisfaction - Chris Farlowe. Quote
