One of these days I’m going to finally get around to checking out these Maneri cats you dig so much. So much music so little time (and $$$). I don’t have that one. Refer to sentiment above.
Every week Cafe Oto send subscribers an email with new events added...and when I saw two nights of this group come up for a couple of months time I didn't hesitate...
Today: Anthony Braxton - For Alto (one of my favorites, although it's hard to listen front to back in one sitting) Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff (prefer this to Evolution)
I walk the dog every night for about 30 minutes. Instead of taking the discman I'm starting to use the phone/Spotify. I have this playlist, current total time: 23 minutes. The Moana Surf Duke Pearson – The Phantom 1968 A Night In Barcelona Bobby Hutcherson Featuring Harold Land – San Francisco 1971 Mystic Brew Ronnie Foster – Two-Headed Freap 1972 Kathy Horace Silver – In Pursuit Of The 27th Man 1973 Looks like I can fit one more track in that list *************************** Help me chose that last track !! *************************** If you know those tracks who'll know that they have something in common... That is the only rule - integrity. Timeline isn't relevant. If you don't know them... You're missing out.
Is the common element the vibes? "Vibrafinger" by Gary Burton is 6:37, so the playlist should end just as you're getting back to your front door. Are you familiar with Khan Jamal? There's a more obscure vibes player who rewards some investigation.
You might try “Aqua Blue” or “Sunday Afternoon” from Nicole Mitchell’s Ice Crystals album Aquarius, it has both vibes and flute.
An excellent album of jazz from this decade. Jason Adasiewicz plays vibes on it, and I recommend Sun Rooms and Spacer by his group, too.
I don’t quite recall where I came across it but a while back I read an interview or op-ed type piece she had written about sexism in the jazz world. IIRC it may have been in response to a Robert Glasper/Ethan Iverson interview. EDIT: Google her name and it was one of the first things to come up.
Live around 1983. Composition and piano intro by arranger/composer/conductor/pianist/singer Carlos Franzetti from Argentina. I've been following much releases from Carlos ever since i bought his "Galaxy Dust" album.
I'm currently reading Garret Keizer's memoir about returning to teach at a rural public high school after retiring from the teaching profession for many years (Getting Schooled: The Reeducation of an American Teacher), when I came across this passage and had to share. He's talking about his first day of class at the start of the school year: "I have decided to begin each class period with a selection of music chosen for that day, writing the selection and artist on the board above my class agendas and keying the selection into a small CD player. For the students' first day, I choose John Coltrane's 'Welcome,' at the closing bars of which a hush comes over my chattering students., proof of what I've always believed about the divinity of Coltrane's inspiration and the wellsprings within even the dopiest-seeming kid. 'This is nice music,' one boy remarks, and no one snears." [p. 41] I don't know Coltrane's "Welcome." What album is that from? Cheers! -Ray
You already received the answer, but I just didn’t wanted to pitch in to say that Welcome is a sublime piece of music.
Thanks Dzhason and Frightwigwam. That explains why I don't know the tune--I don't have either of those Coltrane albums. Armed with the album names, I will hunt around on YouTube to see if I can sample it there. Cheers! -Ray
Just listened to Coltrane's "Welcome" on YouTube. When Coltrane's sax comes in after McCoy Tyner's shimmery opening, I'm like "Oh, it's 'Happy Birthday!'" Cheers! -Ray
Thank you for the link. That is an enlightening read. I think I have a better appreciation for why she chose a woman (Mareike Wiening) to play drums in this band, as well as a woman (Maria Grand) on sax.
It wouldn’t feel right to let John Coltrane’s birthday go by without playing this masterpiece. John Coltrane - Crescent (Original Recordings Group, 2x45)
Monday Miles . . . IMO an underrated classic—Tony Williams is on fire here . . . 1968/2015 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab – MFSL2-437 Original Master Recording – , Gain 2™ Ultra Analog 45RPM 180g Series – 2 × Vinyl, LP, 45 RPM, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Stereo
Another group to use Adasiewicz's vibes is James Falzone's Klang which by coincidence is just about to be relaunched after a long while - playing at the Hungry Brain in Chicago next week. Former Chicagoan James Falzone reconnects with two local projects
Guys, sorry for the spelling mistake. The mobile opted for "chose" instead of "choose". @frightwigwam , @dzhason In common - correct, all have vibes, and they're all blue note recordings. I love this next track, and it will flow perfectly with the other 4. Guess the dog won't mind that it's not blue note. Enchanted Lady, from Milt Jackson With The Ray Brown Big Band – Memphis Jackson Edit: Montara !! That's the one. Blue note and beautiful. From the album with the same name (Bobby Hutcherson)
