So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Miles Davis "Round About Midnight" Sony K2 HD cd

Been too long since I played this one. 

[John Tapscott]

[Peter Friedman]

You would not know it from looking at the cover, but Benny Goodman plays on many tracks. 

[jazzbo]

Aretha Franklin "Spirit in the Dark" Atlantic cd 

From this box set, "The Atlantic Recordings"

I was going to say this is the best Aretha Franklin album on Atlantic. . . well from 1970. . . but no there's another one and. . . well they're all so damned good. What a catalog!

[Tom 1960]

 I thought I had most/all of Zoot's early releases, until I came across this one. Thanks Dusty Groove!

 

[jazzbo]

Barney Wilen "La Note Bleue" 2 cd set, disc 1

[jazzbo]

Charles Mingus/Hampton Hawes/Dannie Richmond "Trio" Jubilee/Atlantic 2 cd deluxe set released today.

Just in time for Mingus' birthday!

Sounds quite nice. Probably better than previous editions. Mingus is prominently recorded. Second disc has alternates and two tracks of a previously not released piece.

Bill Coleman – From Boogie To Funk (Brunswick, 1960)

I love it, wonderful compositions. The first tune "The Thespian" is so beautiful with that intro with Chambers on arco, and then the fast theme.

All tunes are great. That latin tune "Olé " is a real earworm, you don´t get it out of your head and I remember when I first heard it after I bought the CD, I jumped to the piano and did it. So easy and natural changes.... a dancer might dance to it, a player has the urge to play it....
