      So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

      By jazzbo · Posted

      Duke Ellington and his Orchestra “Newport '58” Mosaic cd An early morning shift to Ellington. Ellington the trickster magician musical painter. After decades of listening to his music putting one of his recordings on to spin is an immediate transition to his colorful world of grace, sinuosity and sass.

      What music did you buy today?

      By Big Beat Steve · Posted

      It's certainly an enjoyable record (I found my copy - a 70s reissue on French RCA - in one of those Special Offer bins and at 2.50 euros you can take chances) but it probably will be of less interest to those who are specifically into the original Andy Kirk band and will appeal more to those who are into Al Cohn and his 50s acolytes. (So you should be safe anyhow  according to your interests.)  Here is the Down Beat review from 1957: The approach of trade listeners in 1957 may not be exactly the same as that of today's collector listeners, so YMMV, as the say.  And this excerpt from the liner notes of the 70s reissue on French RCA may also be of interest to put things a bit into perspective:

      I came across this album.  It's Andy Kirk with a bunch of musicians playing Kirk's old 1930s Clouds of Joy hits in 1957.  This is interesting because I've been getting into Kirk, Mary Lou Williams and Clouds of Joy but particularly because of the musicians on it.  It's a lot of the same players as MS-027 Mosaic Select: Al Cohn, Joe Newman & Freddie Green, including Frank Rehak.  I love that Select so when I saw this I really wanted to hear it.  It does not seem to be available to stream anywhere so I ended up ordering a used copy which will arrive in a few days.

      On to another Sun Ra, “When Angles Speak of Love” Myth Science cd This material is from 1963 and rather “out there” but an interesting sonic experience. Suits the hour and my mood. This is very 1963 exploratory jazz, sounds like a time capsule to me. Sun Ra: piano, Clavioline, gong Walter Miller: trumpet Marshall Allen: oboe, alto sax, percussion Danny Davis: alto sax John Gilmore: tenor sax, percussion Pat Patrick: baritone sax, percussion Robert Cummings: bass clarinet Ronnie Boykins: bass Clifford Jarvis: drums Tommy “Bugs” Hunter: drums (?), percussion, tape reverb, engineer Ensemble: vocals
