jazzbo Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 Duke Ellington "Black, Brown & Beige--featuring Mahalia Jackson" Columbia/Sony gold cd. Hadn't listened to either version I have of this release, cd or LP, in a long time. I think I've listened to my mono LP most often and forgot how great this stereo cd sounds. Quote
JSngry Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Posted February 12, 2021 on the one hand...this type of thing has kinda turned me off for about as long as I got over it (and that was a loooong time ago). on the other hand....DAMN. It will never be better than this, not for this type of thing. Writing/playing, this will be as good as this type of thing gets. Period. Either way, quite apart from what I do or do not like, there is nothing cheap and/or trivial about this music. If you don't like it, that's your business. But if you don't respect the hell out of it, then you are just plain wrong about that. Sorry. Quote

I just spun “El Camino Real” from it a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday afternoon show, a day when I always feature past and present-day Indiana jazz artists.

JSngry Posted February 13, 2021 Author Report Posted February 13, 2021 The JJ....it sounds to me like what a lot of late-60s "Lab Bands" (including THE Lab Band) were trying to do...a lot of fancy writing, no really distinctive soloists (or if there were, they were incidental to the effort)...their role model was always Kenton, and Kenton only went so far, but THIS record, this is what could be done by going furhter and trying ahrder...and doing better. Much of it sounds like "soundtrack" music to me, but...so be it. It's just so damn well written. And then played the way that type thing should be played, perfectly. And JJ was always a writer. Always. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 Sounds to me like he picked up from ‘Perceptions’ and further developed it - without Dizzy of course. Great that the label was able to bank-roll such an ambitious project. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 Zoot Sims with Jimmy Rowles "If I'm Lucky" Pablo cd Zoot and the Lizard always make a comfortable pairing and the ease-inducing material here is in very good sound. Zoot and Jimmy share the same spirit here. . . probably the same spirits. Both are listening to each other closely and Jimmy is really giving Zoot just what he needs. And Zoot's horn really sounds great on this disc. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 oe Chambers "Samba De Maracuto" Blue Note cd. https://store.bluenote.com/products/joe-chambers-samba-de-maracatu Nice music. Surprisingly loud bloated compressed sound. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 Those samples of the new Joe Chambers on Spotify sound nice ! Quote
