Gheorghe Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 16 hours ago, BillF said: This is the only Verve LP of Bird that I really can enjoy, since Norman Granz didn´t interfere with the personnel, it´s a vintage quintet of Bird, very good sound and very fine music. On the others....well "Strings" is not really my thing. The "Bird ´n Diz" , though it has Monk, is also a disappointment with Buddy Rich on drums and the lack of really rehearsed material, the "Perennial" has this Tommy Turk destroying the quintet, the "South of the Border" is somehow....tra la la, and "Cole Porter" is a weak and tired Bird......, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 The George Shearing Quintet – You're Hearing George Shearing (MGM, 1950) One big discovery for me this year has been how much I enjoy some of George Shearing's records. If you would have told me this five years ago, I would have thought that you were mad, but it's there. When it works, there's that great combination of jazz pop and Debussyian exotica, with lovely piano and vibes interplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Cootie Williams "1945-1946" Chronogical Classics cd Picked this up last month--haven't heard most of this ever before. It's rougher around the edges than the Ellington Orchestra and a bit more R&Bish. I'm digging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's interesting that Cootie, Rabbit, and even Al Sears, made music that was, if nothing else, R&B "adjacent" after leaving Duke. And without condescending or otherwise playing down to that market. It tells me that that flavor was deep inside of Duke's world, both before and after. Then again, Duke's world pretty much contained every flavor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
