Gheorghe Posted March 21, 2022 Report Posted March 21, 2022 12 hours ago, EKE BBB said: It´s interesting that in my early youth, the only available Miles-First Quintet album available was "Steamin ´" while the others "Cookin´, Relaxin´, Workin´" we didn´t know about yet. "Steamin" was actually my first jazz LP and the music that turned me to a live long jazz fan. Cookin´ Relaxin´was later on a 2 LP thing as it was quite often those days. I might say, when I was a kid, goin to school etc. "Miles-Coltrane-Garland-Chambers-Philly J.J." were what I might say "my heroes". Garland the first real jazz pianist I heard (I heard Peterson before but forgot about him after hearing Garland) , and Chambers determined me to buy a bass fiddle with some money my Grandma had left for me..... ,made me practice that bass fiddle day and night and boy I had blisters on my fingers.... 5 hours ago, John Tapscott said: Now: Disc 2 Is this all the 5 BN´s plus "Our Man in Paris" ? Roost means the 1947 session with "April" on it and the 1953 session with "Embraceable You" on it ? It´s interesting that people talk more about the BN 1953 session than the Roost session from the same period. I almost never read something my concrete about the 53 Roost session, it is great, both the ballads and the fantastic "Woody´n You" and the only version of "Bag´s Groove" I heard from Bud. But in General I like most the things with horn players added like the first BN and the side B of the third one, and the Dexter session... 3 hours ago, HutchFan said: Terrific. If I listen to vocal jazz, Billy Eckstine is my first choice, but in my case with the Big Band 1944-1947. I think the last side of the Savoy Double Album "Mr. B. and the Band" is allready something Hollywood-ish with those syropy strings added. I could listen for hours to Billy Eckstine and the bop bigband, but there is not so much material...., and I like Kenny Hagood, Johnny Hartman, well those male singers who worked with the boppers, and some Sarah from that time (Mean to Me, Don´t blame me), I saw at some friends place once a thing Billy and Sarah and said I must listen to it, and it was great singin, but the band sounded like some of those no name mainstream studio bands of the fifties...

I think it is 8 volumes, it was Japanese LPs. I think the one I listened most too is "Swedish Schnapps". Edited March 21, 2022 by Gheorghe Quote
Rabshakeh Posted March 21, 2022 Report Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Trio Hurricane - Suite of Winds (Okka, 1986) I haven't listened to this one in ages. Not sure why, because it's so bloody great. Glenn Spearman on the rampage with a still young and fresh William Parker, really turning up the heat. Mental note: listen to more Glenn Spearman. Edited March 21, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote

"Our Man in Paris" is not included, probably because Bud was not the leader. Now Quote

Volume 7 is regretablly missing here. Your "Parker with strings" has also this cover Edited March 21, 2022 by jazzcorner pics Quote
