What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

It sure sounds nice this morning!

Wintry grey and overcast here too, so I might well be tempted to follow your recommendation and put this one in the CD player next.

Yeah! To jlhoots, why this record I was talking about in my post didn't carry over: In my opionion, this record was when Jackie graduated from be-bop, to post-bop, to when Jackie went full-blown bonkers genius. Absolutely my favorite Coltrane album, period. Grachan, and now I see Jim Hall below this, I'm running out of time to listen to music!!!

Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years (8 CD box set)
jazzbo replied to pglbook's topic in Offering and Looking For...
Truly a great set. -
Rather pretty music to start off a cold and wintry day. Once again we didn’t get predicted snowfall overnight, I’m liking this trend! Jan Johansson & Arne Domnérus “Younger Than Springtime 1959-61” Dragon cd Dragon is such a great label.

Thanks very much, Mike. To reply briefly to Mr Fleischhammer's comments: 1) Pity about the Swedish jazz, as there still is quite a bit of territory that is uncharted reissue-wise. But I'll agree that this is a niche market probably not easily exploitable if you are not that close to the Swedish market. 2) Understandable but still regrettable. Provided that recordings remain at all, the 1960 festival, for example, might have yielded the very first documented recordings by Gunter Hampel, Alexander von Schlippenbach and Joe Viera, among many others; each one of them had applied for participation with their own groups. 3) Yes, a real obscurity, that "Modern Jazz Group 60" from Pforzheim. After I had discoved this news item in the JAZZER mag I wrote to Wolfram Knauer of the Darmstadt Jazz Institute but he had no knowledge whatsoever of this either. But since Sonorama seems to have a knack of unearthing unreleased tapes off the beaten tracks of the "usual suspect" artists I figured a question might be worth it. BTW, the list of applications for the 1960 German Amateur Jazz Festival lists a "Hard Bop Group Pforzheim". This might well be them. As for the sales or non-sales of Sonorama records, is there any indication which ones, for example, are particularly slow movers? I have bought several new Sonorama vinyls at our preferred local record shop through the years, but Lars Gullin's comparatively recent "Liquid Moves" CD, for example, already showed up there in the 1 EUR "secondhand odds and ends" special offer bin (and, needless to say, is on my shelf now ).

Lols. Googled, but did not get the Wiki hit, thank you Niko.

Yes. Action and It's Time!!!! Jackie's collaboration with Charles Tolliver (later Woody Shaw) was amazing!
-
Silly for asking, who's Mtume? Sorry still, messed up the spelling, sigh.

Digging this for all the right reasons! Here! Much love for Jack DeJohnette, posting in the Jackie Mac thread.

Not to group Pepper, Getz, nor Baker, nor the West Coast wash all together, but you get a rare view inside "the life" and how you spend your down time.... To add, Miles and Trane had the same problem on the East Coast...

Woah. Gotta absorb what you have on your turntable...meanwhile:

Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years (8 CD box set)
BFrank replied to pglbook's topic in Offering and Looking For...
I remember picking up that box (maybe 20 years ago?) when it was being remaindered, and his Milestone years were less respected. I think it was going for less than $20. -
What live music are you going to see tonight?
ejp626 replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
Only managed to make the final minutes of the first set Friday evening, but I stuck around for the second set, which was quite nice - 2 originals and 3 standards. This was Kirk McDonald, Nancy Walker, Neil Swainson and Terry Clarke at the Jazz Bistro. Sunday will probably see a bit of a pickup band at the Rex with Robert Lee and Allison Au. Then next Sat., I'm heading over to Hirut (a relatively new to me jazz club in the East End). It's going to be pianist Harold Danko, with saxophonist Pat LaBarbera, & bassist Neil Swainson. Really looking forward to this and need to make sure I get there a bit early, as one time I was turned away!
