I don't know if Marian McPartland was mentioned. I'm not really a fan of her's that much. From what I heard of her recently, it was pretty much boring. Her earlier recordings were much better.
Seems every popular jazz album, is "The best selling jazz album of all time." I've heard Kind Of Blue, Time Out, The In Crowd, A Love Surpreme, and many more, as "The best selling jazz album of all time." What's up with that.
I love his tone. With bassits like Charlie Mingus, and Paul Chambers, you can hear the strings vibrate, and what not, for lack of a better term. With Percy, its so clear, all you hear is the notes. Very clean and controlled.
He lives on Long Island, very close to me. He's been at a couple of festivals around here. His cohort, Connie Kay, would also be celebrating his birthday this week.
No, it's the same. This thread- who your current favorites are, (the favorites are old as well as new) and The What Are You Listening To Now thread- what you're listening to, (also is old as well as new.)
If this thread is bad, I'm surprised you don't loathe the What Are You Listening To Right Now thread. I bet you don't care what anybody else is listening to.
I doubt its always the same. I suspect an album like Jimmy Smith, Legacy sells more than a new release of McCoy Tyner, but I'm not sure. I guess it has to do with its public promotion.
