I listened to some online and I can hear what you say
thanks to all for all the suggestions so far. I'm intrigued by the Sinatra date (might get that one played whilst the family are about). I'm going to be Norvo busy I can see
Oh well, another listen required. Tracks 5, 7, 9, 11 are really doing it for me, must be something about odd numbers today
9 is naggingly familiar
all round great listen, thanks for putting it together
Bumping this as I recently purchased "Music To Listen To Red Norvo By" on a whim and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Much of the discussion on this thread until now seems to have been about his earlier recordings.
I'm interested in any recommendations or thoughts about recordings about the time of "Music To Listen..." . I'm wondering about "Ad Lib" with Buddy Colette and The RCA Victors "In Hi Fi", "Plays The Blues" or any other sideman dates of a similar feel to "Music To Listen..."
I'll definitely check out the Farlow/Mingus
thanks in anticipation
Prince Lawsha - Firebirds Live At Berkeley Jazz Festival, volume 1 [Birdseye]
Famoudou Don Moye/Ari Brown - Live At The Progressive Arts Center [L'Orsa Maggiore]
Bob Moses - When Elephants Dream Of Music [Gramavision]
George Russell - The African Game [Blue Note]
80s big band afternoon, Maybe Hemphill's could be next
edit to add:
Julius Hemphill Big Band - s/t [Elektra Musician]
of the three the Russell sounds by far the most dated
Looks intriguing.
To my shame my knowledge of poetry could fit on a postage stamp but I've ordered a copy of this to hopefully shed some light on the darkness
Ordered my copy of the Parker. I saw him perform with Toma Goubard a few years ago, it was fascinating music. The Giuffre will be next despite having the Stuttgart and Bremen Hats
and I completely understand why now .
Bit pricier than JHR but as clean as a whistle which is very useful with music as intricate as this
Now...
Nakama - Before The Storm [Nakama Records]
Thanks for posting. An interesting listen indeed. Glad he liked the fireworks analogy as it worked for me too. As a non-musician I fear some of the nuance of his thoughts passed me by. That idea of having composers in the band so they can inhabit the spaces provided by the compositions provides a new way to listen to and understand his work. Now I'm just going to have to buy the Parks disc
