So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Gheorghe]

This together with "The Incredible Guitar" was my ticket to the Wonderful sounds of Wes Montgomery. 

I also have the great "Full House" live at Tsubo .

Wandermüde, David Sylvian & Stephan Mathieu

This is stunning stuff but easily misunderstood by many

Those 5 CDs or LPs are the best to hear really Extended work of Bud Powell in a Nightclub. 

This, together with "So much Guitar" also for the Riverside label was a 2-fer LP set when I was beginning to listen to jazz. It was my first Wes Montgomery and I liked it from the first note on. 

I still love it very much . 

Bud Powell's recordings at the GC, are among my favorite trio recordings ever. I prefer these recordings over his BN and Verve and not just because these are live recordings.

Talk about niche music...especially after reading Ned Rorem's fascinating liner notes...apparently there was an entire world going on that only a very few people knew about?

Some of this stuff is better than some other, but there are some really interesting things here.

Disc 6: I bought 3 out of the 7 discs from a member here for $18 a couple of years ago.  I'm glad that I have some of the set, but I don't know if I'd spring for the whole thing when there is so much other Bird out there in higher fidelity.

Joining Mr. Earland at this 1997 concert were Jimmy McGriff, Johnny Hammond Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jim Rotondi, Eric Alexander, Frank Catalano and more.  The stand out track for me is Mr. Earland's romp through his classic "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday".  That never gets old for me.

There are things on here that you just gotta wonder, how the fuck did THAT (whatever it is) happen? And plenty more where you don't. But those where you do

This one has a really blues-y violin solo. This is LA ca. 1959, what are the odds it would be Don "Sugarcane" Harris?

The "Let´s Freedom Ring" is really one of my favourites of Jackie McLean. I remember, that around 1980  I had a lot of musical discussions with Austrian free jazz pioneer the late Fritz Novotny (Reform Art Unit) and he pulled my coat to more advanced Things, and recommended as a startet this Album and the next one "One Step Beyond". He was pleased that I dig Ornette Coleman also and later played for me his own stuff which was great.

I saw Jackie McLean with Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins who are on this record, but without Water Davis, but with Bobby Hutcherson, who would have been on "One Step Beyond". So I saw a live Group which was a combination of "Freedom Ring" and "Step Beyond".....
