In the last few days:

Woody Shaw - Master of the Art (despite the naysayers, I think this is a terrific recording - both Woody and Steve Turre are in great form - seems to me Woody himself didn't like this session - as often happened, he was being too hard on himself).

Lee Morgan - The Rahjah

Danny D'Imperio - Big Band Bloviation

Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Mosaic

Mark Masters Jazz Orchestra - Priestess (great Billy Harper on this)

Miles Davis - Someday My Prince Will Come

Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain

Billy Bang - Vietnam The Aftermath

Kid Ory - Creole Classics

Harold Mabern - Joyspring

Up for the weekend: Wayne Shorter - The All-Seeing Eye (naturally)

I'd love to be listening to this week's CD of the week , but my order hasnt arrived yet. :(

That's a drag, but you've got a couple days left. Actually, you have as long as you want. I look forward to your review. :rsmile:

Peter,

I look forward to your album of the week pick. I bet it will be a good one. I'm glad to see another Albert King fan here. He's one of my all-time favorite bluesmen. His rap in "I'll Play the Blues for You" is so smooth. I don't know if you dig mid-seventies King, but his I Wanna Get Funky album is one of my favorites. I love the song "Flat Tire" - It cracks me up.

I've never gotten into Hayes' Black Moses. I'm more of a Hot Buttered Soul type of guy. I'll give it another listen.

Today's listening:

John Coltrane - Transition

Charlie Haden/Pat Metheny - Beyond the Missouri Sky

Donald Byrd - Byrd in Hand

Non-jazz

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (new reissue) - sounds REALLY good!

:g :rsmile: :g :rsmile: :g

For the last 3 nights I've been trying to listen to a disc of orchestral transcriptions (of works by other composers) by Schoenberg and Webern. This stuff is very interesting, and I keep getting interrupted by phone calls, dinner, etc.

For those interested, it is by Michael Gielen / SWF Sym Orch playing: Brahms Piano Qr #1 (Schoenberg arrangement), Bach Fugue Ricercar (Webern arr) and Johann Strauss Kaiserwalter (Schoenberg). Great stuff!

Today's an ECM day:

Bobo Stenson- "War Orphans"

Keith Jarrett- "Survivors' Suite"

Paul Motian- "Tribute"

John Abercrombie- "Gateway"

Ralph Towner- "Solstice"

Later, I'll start on the Keith Jarrett Impulse 1973-74 set I just sprang for, starting with "Backhand" and proceeding back from there.
