Jazz Beat (Part 40)

Classic album, with that wonderful Contemporary sound. Really good stuff.

 

Dave Holland ~ Jumpin' In

ECM, 1984

 

On the TT! Original pressing on Tizona records. Very spiritual music.

 

It's becoming clear that you need to check back here before buying any CD or LP

 

Bill's got a worried look on his face -- sorta like he sees DiMeola creepin' up behind him

 

yes . . . . and then Al kneels down behind Bill and Chick pushes Bill over Al . . . and Bill never to Returns to Forever.

 

I have to admit that this is one of those times when I wished I had Axiom's way with words

 

Though I prefer Bobby Hutcherson's 1960s work, this set comes close. I'd also recommend his 1980s Evidence and Landmark albums.

 

Thanks Hans!

 

Ax would have fit in well in this conversation.

 

I agree. I can feel the dollars leaving Tim's wallet as we speak

 

I think you should send up the Bat Signal

 

Larry Young - Lawrence Of Newark

 

Sabu Martinez - Burned Sugar: The Swedish Radio Recordings 1973

 

Another very good one from the seventies. This one has no electronic piano. A quintet with Woody Shaw. (No Harold Land.)

On the TT! Sonny Simmons and Prince Lasha!!

 

That came out here on CD as this:



Shaw and Hutch reunited 10 years later on these (which are also essential):

 

Yes I thought too that these early albums were great but showy and that Carter was destined for great things. But alas that was not to be. I found his later albums to be derivative and lacked fire and quickly lost interest after that. Incidentally I feel the same way about Joshua Redman.

 

I love Bud and I have the original CD set that's book bound. Some great music but some real low points as well. Some of the sessions make excruciating listening (Bud's playing was really 'off') and I don't know how it would merit release except for the sake of academic completeness (and corporate greed?).

 

I had a similar response to both Carter and joshua Redman. The last time I saw James Carter he berated an audience member wirh his horn. (Simulating a one sided tirade through his sax). He thought he was cute. I thought he was immature and this, after he had six or seven albums under his belt. I still play his early albums occassionally but only when I'm in the mood for heavy metal jazz.

 

The Art Blakey Quintet - A night at Bird Land Volume 1 & 2. [SHM-CD]
TYCJ-81006 & TYCJ-81049.



First of all I just LOVE the way Pee Wee Marquette introduces the band! It transforms the mood from good to hot!
This has to be one of the best live jazz albums of all time.

Is this considered to be Clifford Browns breakthrough?

 

I was listening to this on the new Clifford Brown Blue Note three cd release last week. Great material. I don't know whether this or the studio sessions he did for the label as sideman and leader were the breakthrough. . . .

Right now, the SHM-CD

 

Milt Jackson with John Lewis, Percy Heath, Kenny Clarke, Lou Donaldson and the Thelonious Monk Quintet [SHM-CD]

The sound quality from a recording made in 1948, 1951 and 1952 is unbelievable on this japanese reissue!
And the music! Oh my!

 

One of my favorite albums
