Oh, yeah, I forgot about that....I thought I had a couple of that too, but now that I think about it, where the hell is it, I don't think I've heard that in years......
Now playing. Love this great 4 disc overview of the Impulse label. The book that compliments it ain't too shabby either!
Paolino Dalla Porta / Kenny Wheeler / Stefano Battaglia / Bill Elgart – Tales [from The Complete Soul Note Recordings box] (Soul Note 121244RM-2 — CAM Jazz) — Paolino Dalla Porta (bass), Kenny Wheeler, (trumpet, flugelhorn), Stefano Battaglia (piano), Bill Elgart (drums)
Just like Norman Granz deserves credit, Bob Thiele deserves much applause for his own vision in allowing musicians freedom on the Impulse label. Bob Thiele - Wikipedia
Yes, it does indeed look like a very nice compilation, alamo54us! And is that the Ashley Kahn book you are referring to? I had been meaning to borrow it from the library--but then forgot about it.
Indeed! I picked the book up at a discount price shortly after finding a used copy of the CD collection. Both fine additions to my libraries. I also enjoyed Kahn's books on "A Love Supreme" and "Kind of Blue."
Larry Coryell – Toku Do (Muse Records) — With Stanley Cowell, Buster Williams, Beaver Harris; tunes by Buster Williams, Coltrane, Monk, Ellington, plus two jazz standards and a CD bonus track of a Stanley Cowell tune.
Hello. This old-school jazz dinosaur strikes again with: A very good vocal and instrumental album by Cannonball Adderley and Nancy Wilson, recorded in 1961. Not extraordinary but, when you need that kind of music, it totally delivers. Cannonball on alto throughout, I think.
Going tenor with Hank's Straight No Filter Picked up the Connoisseur CD in the used bins (floating among several other Mobley Blue Note CD-Rs - really hate these things are finding their way into the used bins! If you don't want the CD-Rs, be sure to open them and check the CD itself. If it wasn't for the thread here in these forums I'd have never known any better). Love the melodies Hank and his trumpet players (Byrd, Morgan and Hubbard) lock into on these tracks. Great pick up. Unbelievable this wasn't released til '86.
Caravan – Show of Our Lives — Live at the BBC 1968-1975 - CD 1 (Deram / Decca Music) It's jazzy...in some places.
Since I am nothing except predictable , I have this album ready on my MP3 player right now: McCoy Tyner Live at Newport (1963). Another most excellent example of hard bop.
Last one tonight is Tyner's The Real McCoy which I'd planned on listening to before your post...great minds!
I was thinking about female jazz singers, since I posted the Nancy Wilson album, and I'm strangely all verklempt right now: Liza with a Z could have been a great one. She is one of my idols, and I'll be devastated (well... you know what I mean) when she dies: Liza Minnelli, "God Bless the Child" (1972).
Fastskill? Why did you abruptly change your avatar, my friend? How long do you think it will take this old woman to get used to the new one? Geez... No respect for your elders, I swear...
I saw George Adams with a sextet version of Mingus Dynasty in the early 90's with Craig Handy, Jack Walrath. The George Adams / Don Pullen group was so good, and they left us many great recordings.
It was an accident, pressed the wrong button on my iPad. Was on the train etc. Big Man's tirade about bathroom avatars got me thinking if I could update mine on my ipad. Short answer, not really.
