So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

 

Started off with this one again. It has so much going for it and the closing Minnie Ripperton cover gets me every time.

Now on to
Ella Fitzgerald "This is the Blues" Verve cd.

What is the story behind this cover? It's not your typical Impulse! cover. Was it Roy's idea?

No idea of the story behind the cover. They look pretty awkward though, don't they? Not the natural habitat, you might say. 🙁

Ironically, Rahsaan looks the most comfortable. He's got him a walking stick. He's ready!

OTOH, Tommy Flanagan looks the most out of place. "The woods?!?  Get me outta here!"  

 

Now playing:

Some of those David Murray records seem to be making records just to be making records.

[jazzbo]

IF that's true, I don't think this is one of them. I really like the Mingus flavor to a chunk of this one.

Nice!  I've never seen Watson perform.  Hope to rectify that some day.   

re: Post Motown Bop -- I love that record too.  It might even be my "desert-island pick" for Watson.

I've seen Bobby Watson live many times. Too many to count. You should definitely catch him if he comes through your area.

If NP means "nice," What does the "P" stand for?
