Jeff Beck Playing The Blues

Just listened to the first couple songs. Great voice, fine guitar. Dude, you sound like John Hiatt's long lost twin brother!

Abdullah Ibrahim- Manenberg Revisited

James Brown- Singles 1969-1970 V.6 Texas Troubadours- Almost To Tulsa: The Instrumentals

This just jumps off the record... Hank Mobley's "Old World, New Imports"

Yeah, I know these songs really well so it's easy to cheat (until you take out the metronome and count )

I've been doing the same thing with this one since the beginning of the year. I'm currently in the S's as in Spiritual.

Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts w/Tomato, Basil, and Caper Sauce. Steamed carrots on the side. Quick, easy, and good!

Nice list. Consider adding: - More "Atlantic" era Coltrane - More "Milestone" and "Impulse" era Tyner - Seems like you would enjoy some Deep Blue Organ Trio (Deep Blue Bruise, Goin To Town) - Paul Motian - Dave Holland (Start with his latest and work backward. It's as good a plan as any, he's been on quite a roll) - Jonas Kullhammar (Get the trio stuff with Daniel Fredriksson and Torbjorn Zetterberg)

This week it's got to be Fredriksson, Kullhammar & Zetterberg's version of "Inchworm" from, Gyldene Tider Vol.2. The extended drum opening sets up a nice groove for Jonas to go nuts over. Fun stuff!

Having one of these at the moment...

Very interesting discussion about this movie with the director. Fairly low budget movie, not too surprised the locals missed the action. Darren Aronofsky on NPR's Fresh Air

Listened to Malcolm Braff's my space stuff. I'm sold, emusic has a number of his albums available. I'll have to check out the Vallon as well. Thanks. P.S. Braff looks like Hermeto Pascoal's younger brother in that picture.

Up for more recommendations/discussion. Thanks.

"Reckoning" a live acoustic set circa 1980, serves as a nice overview.

Listened to this today; I think it meets your criteria... Charlie Rouse - Two Is One

Lot's of stuff in this thread, and not just Herbie. Herbie: The Funk Period Charles Earland's Black Talk was the first thing to come to mind. The second was Grant Green's Live At The Lighthouse.

Muddy Waters "Clouds in My Heart" from the album King Bee. Hard to understand why this song was not part of the original release. It's the best thing on the album AFAIC. The way the band plays off Muddy's lyrics is tremendous. Real blues, real good!

American Guitars: An Illustrated History by Tom Wheeler is an excellent reference for this sort of thing.

Mavis Staples: "Freedom Highway" from the album Live: Hope At The Hideout.

Well worth spending the time to listen to in it's entirety. Thanks for the link.

Leon Thomas- Let The Rain Fall On Me

Joe Farrell plays drums and Alan Dawson switches to vibes on this one.

Via The Jazz Loft presale... Anthony Braxton- Standards (Brussels) 2006
