So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Coleman Hawkins "Wrapped Tight" Impluse/Analogue Productions SACD

I saw a hawk flying through the window, and walked over to a shelf and 
my eye landed on this one. Seems a great followup to the Holiday disc with excellent Ellis and Webster.

Eberhard Weber kick. The YELLOW FIELDS band with Charlie Mariano, Rainer Brüninghaus, Jon Christensen. Found this footage on YouTube recently; shame the sound and picture are out of sync.

Despite this being one of my favorite Blakey albums, I somehow don't have its companion album.  The late Jymie Merritt is captured quite well here.  'Sleeping Dancer Sleep On' is an absolutely gorgeous tune that should be played more.

I started the listening today off with this fantastic sounding SACD, Horace Silver "The Tokyo Blues" Blue Note/Analogue Productions. This is one of the best sounding SACDs in the series

Followed by an Impulse SACD, "Salt and Pepper" Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves, Analogue Productions SACD.

I think Paul should have gotten top billing on this one, his tone alone is so outstanding, and his ideas pull me in.

Now on to a less great sounding disc but a great performance, Cannonball Adderley Quintet, "Inside Straight" on OJC cd.

My Mingus-mania continues. This one is really a milestone in Mingus´ outstanding career.

Just getting around to this.  I had no idea it even existed until a discussion on this forum led me to it.  Thanks.

My absolute favorite Mingus (which is saying a ton), and a desert island disc for me.

Andrew Rathbun - Shadow Forms (Steeplechase). Rathbun on reeds, George Garzone on tenor, Scott Lee on bass & Jeff Hirshfield on drums. Interesting post bop date. I was able to see this band live at a "CD release party" show and they were better live.

DAMN this is a good record!

After listening to the audio from the Jazz Icons DVD of a 1958 Blakey concert, this was a logical next stop.
