'Jazz Beat (Part 41)'.

The other day I posted my first Wes Montgomery cd acquisition.....now I've got this one coming.



Killing 2 birds with one stone. I'm also expanding my Milt Jackson canon.

 

Bill Holman – Brilliant Corners: The Music of Thelonious Monk (JVC Music)
— With Carl Saunders, Frank Szabo, Ron Stout / Jack Redmond, Bob Enevoldsen, Andy Martin, Kenny Shroyer / Lanny Morgan, Bill Perkins, Pete Christlieb, Ray Herrmann, Bob Efford / Rich Eames, Dave Carpenter, Bob Leatherbarrow; all arrangements by Holman

 

Now listening to a small-group Holman album that was recorded almost 40 years before his Brilliant Corners album:

Bill Holman / Mel Lewis Quintet – Jive for Five (V.S.O.P. Records / Andex)
— With Mel Lewis, Jimmy Rowles, Lee Katzman, Wilford Middlebrook

 

Blue Mitchell - Down With It
Form: The Complete Blue Note Blue Mitchell Sessions ( 1963-67 ) Disc 2 Session C
Blue Mitchell, trumpet; Junior Cook, tenor sax; Chick Corea, piano;
Gene Taylor, bass; Al Foster, drums.

 

Wayne Shorter – Night Dreamer (Blue Note)
— With Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Reginald Workman, Elvin Jones

 

Something a bit off the usual agenda. A book of interviews with jazz musicians, all done between 1964 and 1965.Garth W. Caylor did the interviews with a notion to publishing it, but couldn't find a publisher so his work stayed on the shelf until recently.This book is more than your usual Q & A.The musicians talk in long form.Most of the interviews took place in the musicians homes.Steve Lacy, Paul Bley, Carla Bley, Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Giuffre,Archie Shepp,Milford Graves,Sunny Murray,John Tchicai and others.

A wonderful read and i highly recommend it.Check out the link.

Try Wes and Jimmy Smith too. All great choices

 

Samblanco Trio- Improviso Negro

 

I've got a compilation disc by Jimmy Smith and I'll check to see if any of the tunes have Wes on them.

Thanks.

 

The Dynamic Duo was indeed that

 

Freddie Roach - "Brown Sugar" w/Joe Henderson, Eddie Wright, Clarence Johnston
Played a cd-r of this in the car this afternoon. Sounding good. Finally a sunny half-warm day in New York.

 

Pharoah Sanders - Karma

 

On the TT! Good idea fingerpoppin! Pharoah Sanders on the India Navigation label. Beautiful stuff!

 

Andrew Cyrille - Special People - CD
John Zorn - Masada Zayin - CD
Masayuki Takayangi - Action Direct 1 - DVD
Yoshihide Otomo - Out To Lunch! - CD

 

Was spinning that one a couple weeks ago. Love the Idris and Grant combo.

 

Speaking of Grant Green was spinning this one earlier today.

Been way too long since I gave this spin, forgot how great it is.

 

Great album and cover ^^^
NP Scott Amendola and Charlie Hunter - Pucker (Sazy Records)
Picked it up at Scott's gig.

 

Long weekend (so far) at AXPONA and after much listening both at the con and in my home with a buddy, enjoying this one for the late evening (though my LP pressing basically sucks):

 

McCoy Tyner - Sahara (MoFi)
That title track is a dense mutha! What a ride!

 

Alice Coltrane - Translinear Light
Alice Coltrane, piano, Wurlitzer organ, synthesizer; Ravi Coltrane, tenor & soprano sax;
Oran Coltrane, alto sax (trk 6); Charlie Haden / James Genus, bass;
Lack DeJohnete / Jeff Tain Watts, drums;
The Sai Anantam Ashram Singers, vocals ( trk 11).

 

What is wrong with the record?
