  13. Best track you heard all week

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    Tadd Dameron group with Clifford Brown from "Clifford Brown Memorial" on Prestige doing "Theme of no Repeat". The writing is just fine, Clifford is excellent, the rhythm section of Philly Joe and Percy Heath is perfect   - and Tadd is incredible! He often gets dissed as playing "arrangers piano" but here that ain't near the truth - think Monk with a touch of Bud, but completely Tadd!

  14. Legend of Bop City (San Francisco)

    Many thanks for this!  San Francisco's black jazz scene in the 50's tends to be overlooked in comparison to LA's Central Avenue, but it was jumping, and Jimbo's was at its heart. In this film musicians and patrons (and Jimbo himself) reminisce about his legendary club and the scene at the time. There are some some great photos and stories of Bird, Dexter, Billie etc.   As Brad says, you can still see it through to Sunday. Follow the links above. Don't miss it!

     I´m annyoed enough if you have the same tracks repeated on albums, like on that Fats Navarro Blue Note. I always was pissed of by it since you pay for the hole album and "get" only half of it, since each tune is played twice..... or worse even......

    You mean alternate takes? Aren't they valuable? And especially with Fats Navarro - If you haven't heard the rare alternative take of Fats on "Nostalgia" (issued Savoy SJL 2216), you have missed out on a valuable listening experience - and there are many other similar examples ....
