      So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

      By jazzbo · Posted

      Wow, it will be 46 degrees today. A heat wave! And . . . no snow. Watched seven deer walk across our back yard into our side yard and then across the road into the forest. They are active in the heat (29 degrees right now) and seemed happy, looking for food. I love my sylvan world. Starting off a listening session with the second disc from the last music I listened to yesterday . . . SFJazz Collective “Original Compositions and Works of Thelonious Monk” disc 2

      Stan Kenton -

      Actually I meant "up to and including the Mellophonium band". I haven't nearly listened to all the Kenton recordings from that period, but the "Uncollected Vol. 6" on Hindsight, for example, is quite palatable to my ears.

      Do agree with you for the 'Mellophonium band'.  From this time on Stan lost me as a collector. Dont like that "muddy" sound.

      So am I (at least for the period up to the Mellophonium orchestra) - but no real completist. I didn't know about this particular CD but have several other compilations that cover this period. So I am not quite sure how to judge this one in particular - in preference to others. But like I said, anyone who would like to explore this period should be served well with this compilation.  In general I'd recommend having a look at the live recordings (from the Hollywood Palladium and Birdland) of that period too.

      Favorite boutique labels?

      By Big Beat Steve · Posted

      If it is smaller collector labels (that cater to niche segments within the niche market of jazz ) that are meant here, then I'd mention Sonorama and Be!Jazz as well.
