Jim Duckworth Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Mars Williams, the great tenor player whom I know (best) from Hal Russell's NRG Ensemble, has over the last few years been releasing records wherein he plays Albert Ayler tunes and Christmas related music together.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks! There is a great recent episode of WBGO's Jazz United podcast that covers Christmas jazz. Worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm specifically thinking the VV recordings with Don Ayler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) So this morning on my drive into work, Sirius/XM's Jazz channel was playing a "Let it Snow" by a vocalist I had not heard of, Sarah Partridge. As I listened, I thought it must be an older recording with Horace Silver on piano. I was pretty surprised when I got into work and saw that it was just recorded in 2022 with Allan Farnham on piano. It available to listen on bandcamp: https://sarahpartridge.bandcamp.com/track/let-it-snow Tell me that doesn't sound like Horace! BTW - why do some artists refuse to identify their backing band? I had to Google this recording for quite a while before I found something that listed the band members and now I can't even find where that was again. So I think the pianist is Allan Farnham. I found the only listing of the band! It was in one of Partridge's Facebook posts referencing a Jersey Jazz Review.

Rabshakeh Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Idle thought, but has anyone ever done a latin Christmas jazz album? I can't think of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 I have picked up many cheap-o jazz Christmas CDs over the years. Â Many of these are grey market, sometimes using bad source material. Â Anyway, nearly all of these contain at least one track that I can't readily find elsewhere. Â I should go through them one by one and post about them here at some time, if anyone is interested. Â I could probably do a compilation of the oddball tracks from each of these.

Neither am I, far from it. Â But you can improve the album and get rid of some of the dead weight. Â If the album as released is a favorite, it can be even better. Â For example, ditch the dreadful "Little Drum" song, and add some of the tracks from A Boy Named Charlie Brown that appear during the play rehearsal. Â The album as released is far from perfect, and the sequencing leaves a lot to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
