Since I'm so alone, I can even post this: (The sound really sucks at the beginning. It gets a little bit better later.) I'm a gigantic fan of Liza with, you know, the Z and all that, so Judy with Basie (with an S) is just fine by me.
Calvin Keys - Proceed With Caution! Here's a real banger on the Black Jazz label. I love Calvin's other recording for the label, Shawn-neek, but this one is my favorite.
Yes, a bootleg, though at one point in the 'nineties it was released in France as if it were legit, supposedly that release is no longer so considered.
A couple of Lennie Tristano's students (he was probably a very harsh teacher; the only kind for me ): Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh.
Steve Grossman - Terra Firma Time now for an absolutely BRUTAL fusion joint! Might be my favorite from Mr. Grossman!
Gerry Mulligan, anyone? I used to love this stuff before I fell into the hardcore hard bop well and free jazz and all that. Ah, youth. (Two years ago .)
Alone again, am I? I'll just impose my rules, then; This thread is now called All Liza, all the time! (Just kidding, of course, Gort people. Don't send me to oblivion. ) EDIT: Her voice is just a tad speeded up, in this clip, for some reason. She sounds better than that in the movie.
(Just call me a one-track mind. I don't care. I love music.) Some more from the Scorsese New York, New York movie: A sultry (if I understand Mr. Webster's dictionary book correctly) performance by one of Mr. De Niro's ex-wives.
More Mulligan will do nicely for now: (Oh, yes, I forgot: Gerry is playing with that Miles person I vaguely heard about. )
Montreal Jazz Festival indoor programming went on sale today. Picked up tickets to... Steve Coleman and Five Elements Vijay Iyer & Wadada Leo Smith
OK, I'll stop holding the fort here and trying to keep this thread afloat on the Music Corner forums. (Not that anyone in here expect anyone else to do that. I'm just saying goodnight. ) Very late Billie, almost unrecognizable, heartbreaking, not really jazz anymore, just close to dying: Bonne nuit, les amis.
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil... Herbie Hancock (p) Freddie Hubbard (trp) Ron Carter (b) Elvin Jones (d). A half century old, still sounds new to me...
Scored a new copy of this today on CD from Newbury Comics for $5.99 ("clipped" but who cares? Not me...):
WP Donald Byrd - The Essence Part 1 (Verve) NP Claire Fischer Big Band (Discovery Records) Feeling a little sore from moving records. Damn those things are heavy! I forget until I move them again. It's all for a good cause and I stopped a while back. I've had to learn the signals and act accordingly. It's all good. I'm relaxing with a glass of old red in listening position. I'm set for the night.
2015 Blue Note/HDtracks 96/24 via my iPhone Recorded February 19 & 26, 1965 and March 5, 1966 at Rudy's Night shift number 2 of 7 - could say I'm in "blue spirits" myself tonight, but not really, thanks to a friend shooting me a note to cheer me up
