LY is already in the cart because it's been on my "to buy" list since release. Also in the cart is the live Hubbard, so wanted to add another Wes title and maybe the Coffey too. I've got the Black Forest/Hilversun Evans titles already so just getting different artists this time around. Good to know about the LPs. I've heard mixed reviews before on them which is why I lean digi for this purchase.
Bud Powell - Bouncing With Bud Bud Powell, piano; Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, bass; William Schiopffe, drums.
This might fit well right here... From the CBC Radios's Day 6 with Brent Bambury: 'It was pretty radical': Charlie Brown Christmas drummer reflects on iconic soundtrack.
Yeah, that was nice! For a guy who put the sticks down for 48 years he could really ride that stride in the Lucy & Linus video! Thanks for posting.
As promised: Grant Green - Grantstand Grant Green, guitar; Yusef Lateef, tenor saxophone, flute; Jack McDuff, organ; Al Harwood, drums. Joe Henderson - Page One Joe Henderson, tenor saxophone; Kenny Dorham, trumpet; McCoy Tyner, piano; Butch Warren, bass; Pete LaRoca, drums. Felt so good after those two I had to play some Miles Davis: Miles Davis - Sorcerer Miles Davis, trumpet; Wayne Shorter, saxophone; Herbie Hancock, piano; Ron Carter, bass; Anthony Williams, drums.
And ya know, I believe the only difference between the two were the producer. And it's more likely that Harley/Rambach were on-site for any sessions due to proximity.
Thanks for hipping me to that Coffey! I somehow missed it and now find out that it was an RSD vinyl release last year. Looks mighty tasty.
Damn! Technically they were: Puttin' It Together Thanks for that, only wish they panned back a bit to capture more Elvin during the tune, after all it was his trio. And Jimmy burns it down. For those wanting more (and who wouldn't?) that tune and tour support comes from the following album, IMO Elvins finest and his debut on BN. (The title is misspelled on the viddy, it's "Sweet Little Maia", a tune by Jimmy, natch.
Seriously folks, how many records did Jim Hall cut in Japan and for Japan only? There are truly amazing ones available to hear on Youtube, like Jazz Impressions of Japan... Live In Tokyo... both from one of his peak periods IMO, and also another one yet I can't remember the title of, which was more easy listening, strings laden and not much to my liking (little boy carrying an umbrella on the front cover). JIOJ apparently has never even been available on CD! So did he record any other ones over there? The first two titles I mentioned feature Don Thompson on bass and Terry Clarke on drums, my favorite rhythm section for Jim!
I always thought (assumed) those were the only Japan dates, at least with Thompson and Clarke. But, though not recorded in Japan, you may like "Commitment" (released on Horizon Records), recorded just before those Japanese dates and again with Don Thompson and Terry Clarke! I agree with you about them, btw. Jim Hall - Commitment The good news is that all 3 have been released on CD, fittingly in Japan, at least twice. The latest issues are very cheap too. CDJapan : Search result by ( jim hall ) OR "jim hall" Edit: I see that "Jazz Impressions of Japan" is showing as out of print, but it should be easy to find.
I think Hall's JIOJ gets short shrift because of a much better know album of the exact same title, plus, it plays like an EP at only ~10' per side:
Yes, great point and you reminded me! The latest CD version of Jim Hall's "Jazz Immpresions" has extra tracks and is now at least LP length (approx. 40 minutes)
Mary Halvorson Octet - Away With You (2016) Mary Halvorson (guitar) with Susan Alcorn (pedal steel guitar), Jonathan Finlayson (trumpet), Jon Irabagon (alto sax), Ingrid Laubrock (tenor sax), Jacob Garchik (trombone), John Hébert (bass), Ches Smith (drums).
Herb Ellis meets Jimmy Giuffre (1959) Herb Ellis (guitar), Jimmy Giuffre (tenor sax, baritone sax), Art Pepper (alto sax), Bud Shank (alto sax), Richie Kamuca (tenor sax), Lou Levy (piano), Joe Mondragon (bass), Stan Levey (drums).
Miles Davis was such a prolific artist there is always something new to explore. Miles Davis - E. S. P. Miles Davis, trumpet; Wayne Shorter, tenor saxophone; Herbie Hancock, piano; Ron Carter, bass. (Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs 45)
Ashes To Ashes - Joe Sample (Warner Bros.) CD Recorded 1990 Not one for lovers of 60s & 70s (Crusaders) funk but still worth a listen. Mastered by Doug Sax and presented in stunning sound quality
John Coltrane: With The Red Garland Trio (aka Traneing In) John Coltrane – tenor saxophone Red Garland – piano Paul Chambers – bass Art Taylor – drums Recorded August 23. 1957 in Hacky Sack. Coltrane's third but lots of room for Paul Chambers on this one.
