Shawn Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 not a track, really, but the title melody of Hitchcock's "Marnie", of course by Bernard Herman - kept haunting me for a couple of days. too bad Stephan Oliva didn't cover it on his "Ghosts of Bernard Herman" disc - would love to hear some jazz version(s) of that melody, and Oliva could pull that! There is a pretty nice Marnie "suite" on this... Marnie is one of my favorite Herrmann scores as well...absolutely gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Reaquainted my self with the MJQ's Concorde this week. The title track and Ralph's New Blues stand out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) "Popo", a Shorty Rogers composition and arrangement played by a nonet led by Art Pepper on The Artistry of Pepper. Great achievement to get a nonet, including a tuba, steamin'! On the issued (as opposed to alternative) take the rhythm section of Russ Freeman, Monty Budwig and Shelly Manne sound out of their heads!

John Tapscott Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 "Stompin' the Blues" - the title track from the Harry Allen-Joe Cohn Quartet CD with special guests John Allred and Scott Hamilton (Arbors) Allred is great on this.

BillF Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hope I'm not finding these tracks too often! The best track you heard all day, more like! But couldn't resist listing this one: "Stompin' at the Savoy" from Art Farmer Quartet Featuring Jim Hall, Live at the Half Note. Backed by Walter Perkins and Steve Swallow, they attain a prodigious swing on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Bill - thanks for the reminder of Jabbo Smith, whom I used to see in NYC in the 1970s - as a matter of fact, in the 1980s I used to play a version of Weird and Blue with Randy Sandke - Edited September 25, 2008 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing performance of a classic tune. Guess you heard this on the radio. The last time I listened to the radio was last November when I replaced the car stereo. And why is it that you presume this to be the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Not a song, but a whole album: Getz/Gilberto Once "The Girl from Ipanema" starts, I leave the whole album on and remember why this is and always will be one of my top-five albums ever. Love to hum along with Joao when he sings (and occasionally I get some of the pronunciations right!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 The track "The Green Leaves Of Summer" from the Hampton Hawes release of the same name. A good part of this track features Hampton solo before the rest of the trio kicks in. I've been playing this ALOT the past few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 One jazz tune, and one bad-80's-synth-pop tune: "Sweet Sapphire Blues" by John Coltrane. Even at 18+ minutes, it's too short. I could ride A.T.'s groooooove all day! "Love is a Stranger" by the Eurythmics. AFAIC, they never topped this. Icy, sleek, robotic, and CATCHY AS HELL!!!! So... it's... an... obsession!

Guest Bill Barton Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) has anyone heard the new Terrance Howard album? its supposed to be good Yeah, I've heard it, and I don't care for it at all. The guy may be talented but it's a little hard to tell burrowing through the overproduction. Back to something that has serious soul... This week the new Charlie Haden with family and friends disc Rambling Boy is getting lots of repeat play here. Although there are some "big name" guests among the friends, the tracks featuring the Haden family are the ones that really reach me the most so far, and the one at the top of the list - right now - is "The Fields of Athenry" with Petra Haden's vocal. Gorgeous. And chilling. Edited October 8, 2008 by Bill Barton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webberm3 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hank Mobley, A Baptist Beat off of his album Roll Call. Swingin' man. Also, been checking out a guitarist named Jonathan Kriesberg, he has a new album called South of Everywhere. Very Rosenwinkle meets Metheny.

Big Al Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 JAZZ: the title track to Danilo Perez' Across the Crystal Sea. I got this more for Claus Ogerman than Perez, but Perez playing is gorgeous on this whole album (admittedly, the first album of his that I've purchased). The theme has constantly been running through my head. ROCK/POP: Can you believe I'm still listening to "Love is a Stranger" nonstop? (Hush, Skid!) Seriously, Zep's "The Rain Song" has gotten me again. I love to change the tuning on the acoustic guitar so I can play along with this tune. Still as stunning as when I first heard it back in '85.
