Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?


Recommended Posts

It was delivered today by amazon. A properly licensed reissue, mastered from master tapes in the Warner vaults, sounding good - better engineering than on the Prestige albums. The music is groovy, all sidemen are inspired. I'm glad I got me a copy.

A small cardboard box with six CDs in separate cardboard slipcases and a nice booklet, btw.

... and there are such priceless lyrics as "Your mind is on vacation, and your mouth is working overtime."

Looking forward to hearing that Mose set myself.  Right now, revisiting discs 9-10 of the Herbie Hancock Columbia box, which cover the 1976 Newport Jazz Festival appearance that featured VSOP (first incarnation of this group, I believe?), the Mwandishi Sextet, and the Headhunters... quite the Herbie fest!

I like the line before that even better:  "If silence was golden, you wouldn't be worth a dime.".   And of course the punchline to "Parchman Farm" is priceless.

Music from early Antonioni films, L'Avventura, La Notte, l'Eclisse, and Il Deserto Rosso.

La Notte is a perennial favorite of mine. With Jeanne Moreau, Mastroiani and Monica Vitti. I hadn't ever stopped to consider its music, though. And I will now.

I browsed IMDB the other day to learn about the music. And I found out Umberto Eco also appears in the movie as a guest at the party. He must have been young then. I read one of his books in university, The Definition of Art. He only got into writing novels later. At the beginning he was a non fiction writer.
