All Activity

Thanks for listening, and by all means, keep sluting! I actually listen to a fair amount of ECM, and willingly so. But that's not Jimmy Giuffre. Nor is it Gil Evans or Charles Lloyd. We do have some Gil Evans things in here, though!

Just ordered a copy of his solo album. Just the kind of jazz I want to hear at the moment. It is still available. I knew him from Norman Connors' albums, he appeared to me as a very good, if not too original pianist. I heard some Hancock influence as well. The majority of his recording activity definitely was in soul/pop circles, but, like many others, he never neglected his jazz activities. Among his many sideman credits are Woody Shaw as well as Roy Ayers and Phillys Hyman. A true professional.

So who gets JSngry to willingly listen to ECM? Maybe Jimmy Giuffre? That might not be later than Gil Evans. Charles Lloyd?

1. no clue 2. Gil Evans, probably from The Individualism Of 3. Keeps the mood wonderfully. Wayne Shorter? 4. I think this is to be found on the Classical shelves. I was thinking maybe part of Debussy's sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp, but I hear a other instruments in there too, so no. 5. Introduces subtle vocals, still keeping the mood. I'd be surprised if it is actually who it sounds like, Norah Jones. 6. Taking the tempo up a bit. Could easily be on the Black and Blue label. Illinois Jacquet? 7. Trumpet feature with a hint of (Brazilian?) percussion. Kenny Dorham? 8. Conga heavy beat in the intro. I should know this if it's McCoy Tyner. The piano playing is of that level. 9. Latin percussion, flute and guitar. Gabor Szabo? Chico with Dolphy? 10. Expressive tenor sax. Ben Webster?

To me, the best introduction to Parker, and in very good sound. You get it all in one set, without the many alternates, the music as the record buying public heard it back then.

Too bad. Amazing sound on the instrument.

It is Grant! But from when? Where?And with whom?

I'm really enjoying this set. The personnel of this Orchestra are great players. The mastering is excellent. Love hearing these tunes.

Feel the same way but there is another temptation that night: Burnt Sugar plays at The Local in Saugerties: https://burntsugarindex.com/calendar/

“Classic Decca Recordings of Bob Crosby And His Orchestra & The Bob Cats (1936-1942)” Mosaic Records 6 cd set, disc 2 Wow, the mastering on this set is excellent. And the music so far (which is the majority of the music I have not heard before) is a great listen.

c1928….Jack Penewell and his Stella “Twiin-Six” guitar. Jack was a multi-neck instrumentalist - he played a twin 6 string guitar and a twin 6 steel guitar. He also designed the world’s first double neck steel guitar (an acoustic model built by Gibson in 1932). Jack Penewell was one of the stars of Marsh Laboratories’ Autograph label in the mid-1920s. Playing a Stella “Twin-Six” guitar, Penewell was already a hit with Midwestern radio fans when he cut his first known sides for Orlando Marsh in late 1924 or early 1925. He later went on to record a few titles for Paramount that were issued on their low-priced Broadway label .

You mean the guitarist is GG? 🤣 I thought I heard the trademark repeated note lick. Plus the single line solos. But overall seemed to play faster and in a higher register than GG, almost like someone trying to pay homage.

Don’t Explain ❤️

I must look for this "A Prayer before Dawn".

Cold morning. Starting off with this new box set. Not my favorite period of Dylan by any means, but no denying the strength of his early work. Bob Dylan “Bootleg Series Vol. 18–Through the Open Window” Columbia 8 disc set, disc 1
