Big Al Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Vince Guaraldi's "Rain Rain Go Away." Not a comment on today's weather, but just because it always makes me feel wistful, especially as I watch my son and his friends grow older. Also, Al Green's "Love and Happiness," which has a backbeat so thick, nasty, greeeazy, and funky, it oughta be against the law! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 1960 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 From the album of the same name, "A Slice Of The Top" by Hank Mobley. A real burner. James Spaulding is on fire here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 This week is a repeater, and a tie. But now we have links to samples: If I Ever Had a Good Thing Now You Know Johnny Adams, ladies and gentlemen. Johnny Adams!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldB3 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Virgo - Wayne Shorter I was playing it on the piano, trying different voicings, kind of breaking it down and it hit me what a great composition it is. on the listening side Andrew Hill's Wailing Wall from Smokestack moved me, I have a hard time with Smokestack but was digging it this week.

jazzbo Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) "If I Were Eve," Alice Babs, from the cd "As Time Goes By: 14 Never Previously Released Recordings from 1960-1964". A short track, but it contains a whack and wild solo from Svend Amussen on electric violin with wah-wah pedal that I just love to hear! Svend is alwyas excellent, this one is just. . . off the chart.

AndrewHill Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah World B3, your avatar is exactly what's on my mind. Lawrence of Newark was not what I was expecting from 1973 Larry Young; this album is WAY heavier than his BN's! Those first two tracks, Sunshine Fly Away and Khalid of Space Part Two-Welcome (with Juni Booth laying down some thick bass) were mindblowing.

carnivore Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Bird - the 1950 quartet version of 'Star Eyes' with Hank Jones, Ray Brown and Buddy Rich. The last 8 bars or so of the alto solo is, I think, one of the most extraordinary and moving things Parker ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 "Play It Cool" by Freddie King, recorded live at the 1969 Chicago Folk Festival. Don't know if he recorded it for release but a way cool downtempo blues with his stinging licks and great vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 "Funky Hotel Blues" from Sonny Rollins' The Sound of Sonny (OJC/Riverside). Sonny with a trio of Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes. An old favorite, but great to spin it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 "The Coaster" off of Grachan Moncur III's great 'Evolution' album - with Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean, Bobby Hutcherson, Bob Cranshaw, and Tony Williams. Recorded 11/21/63, the day before JFK got shot. Talk about timeless music that hasn't aged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 "Escape Velocity" from the Woody Shaw album "Stepping Stones". Shaw, Carter Jefferson and Onaje Allan Gumbs smoke on this. The audience at The Village Vanguard seem to agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb - "Ocean In His Eyes" from 1974's Reunion. Sounds to me like the Gods Of Music Future got together and said, "Ok, let's get these guys together & make them re-envision Country Music as stemming from the common ground between Rubber Soul & Pet Sounds & wait 15-20 years for Country Music to catch up. Only not nearly as well." I mean, ok, hey - this is a GREAT song/record. Not so sure about the rest of the album yet, but this one song is, like, WHOA, where the f*&k does THIS come from?

Big Al Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Gary McFarland "I Know the Meaning" from Soft Samba Strings. If only "easy listening" were always this beautiful. The chords start the song make this sound like vintage Jobim/Ogerman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturalSoul Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Anthony Braxton - Composition 36 off of "Trio And duet" Sackville SKCD2 3007. Amazing use of the synth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 "Ad Lib Blues" from Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve) I love Lester in this cool, boppish mode. The trio swings like mad, helped on by that seriously underrated drums master, J C Heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
