I have a question for you guys... this morning I bought a copy of Ornette Coleman "New Vocabulary" 1 of 100 lps...( got it for less than 40 beans by the way) have any of you heard this at all, what did you think...?
Larry Young - Unity From: Discs III & IV Session (E) The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Larry Young
doo - bop | MILES DAVIS (Warner Bros. Masters/Warner Jazz) CD Recorded 1991 / Released 1992 Not to everyone's taste what with the funk and hip-hop mix, but for me it unexpectedly just about hit that move and groove button on every track.
Not gonna lie- Doo Bop was the only late-period Miles album I actually enjoyed. I haven't heard all of his 80's albums, mind you, but I've heard enough to know that it's not really my cup of tea...but I liked Doo Bop, don't ask me why.
Another Time | The Hilversum Concert - Bill Evans (Resonance) CD with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette. Recorded 22 June 1968 36 page booklet included. Excellent recording, excellent music, and very nicely packaged too.
When you have listened to some albums you call all time favorites for 40+ years it may seem odd to call an album you have had for only two years an all time favorite but here it is. Charles Lloyd & The Marvels – I Long To See You Genre: Jazz Year: 2016
NP from the Mosaic Turrentine set: Stanley Turrentine – A Chip Off The Old Block With Shirley Scott, Blue Mitchell, Earl May & Al Harewood. Very bluesy, and I'm liking the B-side tunes the most.
From the Turrentine Mosaic NP: Stanley Turrentine – In Memory Of With Blue Mitchell, Curtis Fuller, Bob Cranshaw, Herbie Hancock & Otis Finch. Just starting this one with Fried Pies & hoping to enjoy it more than A Chip Off the Old Block which to me was some serious B-grade Blue Note material. I already had the recent SHM reissue of the Jubilee Shout!!! which I do like but overall this Turrentine Mosaic is a bit disappointing and I'm surprised by that.
Django Reinhardt - Peche a la Mouche. Fascinating 2-CD set including his later electric works. "Unique" is one of the most abused words in English, but it applies to Django.
I have In Memory Of and thought it was solid but it's been a few years since I've listened. Good excuse to get it out and revisit.
I have bought it this year. In my opinion, Cook and Morton have been too much ungenerous. Matt Collar on All Music Guide gives four stars rating. It is an overrated judgment, but I think that on some tunes Prez, though at the end of his hard life, has grown his fine phrasing.
Wrapping up my 'Miles on Warner' sessions with this live one - another 'hit and miss' selection. I doubt I will listening to it all the way through again any time soon. Live Around The World - Miles Davis (Warner Bros. Masters/Warner Jazz) CD Recorded at various concerts late 1980s / early 1990s and released 1996
Getting away from those Miles on Warner titles now! Things Are Getting Better - Cannonball Adderley with Milt Jackson (Riverside/OJC) Alto Saxophone – Cannonball Adderley Bass – Percy Heath Drums – Art Blakey Piano – Wynton Kelly Vibraphone – Milt Jackson Recorded 1958 CD digital mastering by Joe Tarantino at Fantasy
This one turned out to be a good album. Very nice and really more of what I was expecting with this box.
Next from the Turrentine Mosaic: Stanley Turrentine – Mr. Natural From '64 with Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Lee Morgan, Bob Cranshaw and Ray Barretto. And this picks up where In Memory Of left off and is a great set of music. These last 2 discs in the Turrentine Mosaic are definitely more of what I expected from this set and really make the purchase worth it seeing that these records aren't so easy to obtain. Another Story is next and I'm looking forward to giving it a listen.
From the recently issued 5 Original Albums Box... Introducing Kenny Burrell (Blue Note) CD with Tommy Flanagan (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums), Candido (conga drums) Original LP Released 1956
