John Tapscott Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Now: 20 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Stan Kenton – Adventures In Jazz Okay, this one I actually like. It seems like all the energy went in the right place with this one. It's a good one. If I had to take one Kenton recording to a desert island, this may be it. (The only drawback is Sam Donahue's screeching on tenor at the end of B&S). 9 hours ago, jazzcorner said: One of the true "classics" with Woody. Have the original Capitol vinyl. BTW beside Kenton Woody is a great part of my total big band stock. Other great examples are Shorty Rogers, Buddy Rich, Bob Florence, Basie & Duke. Cant name them all but big band is a fine cathegory of jazz for me. 👍 1 hour ago, Rabshakeh said: The Pete Rugolo Orchestra – Rugolo Plays Kenton I enjoyed the swinging first side of this a lot more than the second side. Yes, it's a good recording. but in general terms Kenton Plays Rugolo is better IMHO. The bands Kenton had in the '45 - '48 period when Rugolo was his chief writer/arranger were pretty awesome.

Rabshakeh Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Linda May Han Oh – Aventurine (Biophilia, 2019) First listen to this. I like it a lot more than Oh's other records, which always struck me as being too modern jazz of the academies. This is a bit more chamber jazzy - like a dreamier Oregon - and has a lot more personality. Nice break from banging my head with big band racket all weekend.

Rabshakeh Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Interesting quote. I’ve always found the lack of attention paid to those early Mingus records odd. I guess they don’t fit the picture. Edited September 3, 2023 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dots only partially connected! 4 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Interesting quote. I’ve always found the lack of attention paid to those early Mingus records odd. I guess they don’t fit the picture. Equally odd is the near-total overlooking of the totally transitional Bohemia date with Eddie Bert and George Barrow. If you wonder how it got from there to there, here it is.
