Best track you heard all week

[hopkins]

This week I fell in love with Erykah Badu 😁

 

[soulpope]

Barrett Strong (1941 - 2023)      R.I.P ....

[Jon King]

Billy Butterfield & The Essex Five - “Deed I Do” 

yes, I have been discovering a new/old trumpet player.  This track keeps me grooving with its economically tight front line and a great drummer. The drum work is more bebop while the trumpet/sax harmony almost goes cool.  Think Kenny Clarke + cool Miles - ahhh.  
 

College Jazz Sampler, 1955

I think this is one of the best examples of Lee Morgan’s style ( and possibly Jackie Mclean), a classic.

Lovely album, too bad they sat on it for two and a half years and gave it such an awful cover.  And the bonus tracks session should be issued in it's entirely.

Agreed on all points!

"I Can't Get Started" from the Lee Konitz/Paul Bley album "Out of Nowhere" (Steeplechase) 1997. In fact just about every track on this one is a jaw dropper, with Bley at his most brilliantly eccentric and Lee hitting every Bley curve ball, changeup, knuckleball, even a few beanballs right on the nose in an inspired manner. What a day in the studio this must have been.

Is it just me, or is Sinatra adopting an Eckstine-ish approach to his harmony/intervals on this one? He certainly did some amazing things on ballads over the years, but this one seems more overtly "boppish" than usual? 

Or maybe it's Riddle putting it there

My favorite Shorter tune I guess:

This while band rocks. I just love that start of Hanock's solo. 

[Balladeer]

"Over and Over" - Wee Willie Walker & The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra"
(from: Not in my Lifetime)

Long live Southern Soul!

[soulpope]

 

Astrud Gilberto "Baiao" (Verve)     1973 ....      R.I.P ....

[soulpope]

Johnny Shines „The Blues Came Falling Down“ (Omnivore Records)      1973/2019 ….

[Balladeer]

Diana Krall - Why shoud I care (from: When I look in your eyes, Verve)

[T.D.]

Obscure Horace Silver tune from an old Lou Donaldson album. Always enjoyed it, spun it this week for the first time in a long while.

 

[soulpope]

Patrice Rushen "Before The Dawn" (Prestige)     1975 .... Oscar Brashear   R.I.P ....

Anyone heard this record before? How did stay under the radar for so long? That or I just live under a rock. 

Al Tanner Quintet

[HutchFan]

Gorgeous.

Not a recorded track but a live track: 

Two days ago I listened to the trio of my favourite Austrian pianist Oliver Kent ("Triple Ace" with Uli Langthaler who also plays with me on many occasions, and the great Serbian drummer Dusan Novakov) and they did a fantastic version of that old pop song "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree" , but as a fast waltz, with extended solos of highest quality and going modal with a bit McCoy feeling, but very very individual. I could have listened for hours only for this tune. 

As I mentioned in my thread "A Great Day...in Vienna" I have the highest praise for Oliver, such a wonderful musician an human being, and it´s a big honour for me that he praises my own playing too.
