I'd say Blakey on this one.. other artists I like better, but none were as consistent IMO...
...OTOH, that could be because Blakey didn't record for Blue Note after 1964, where many of the other artists on the roster changed styles after that.. evolution, though not necessarily improvement...
.. how about Blue Note for most consistent jazz label!
-
Oblique is great too.. why not Back at The Chicken Shack and/or Midnight Special?
-
Temple, I totally concur with you about Of Love and Peace... Larry is one of my 3 favorite organists of all time and even though I have the box set, I have also bought individual CD's as well.. but this one I will skip for now, the trumpet playing is just grating to these ears.
Now is... interesting, but some of the vocal arrangements can be very distracting.

I picked up both of these Tuesday and like 'em. Would greatly enjoy seeing them re-issue On Broadway.

Richard Groove Holmes - Super Soul - 1 track missing
-
At the risk of losing credibility on this board (now the only jazz board I post to), I have quite a few Walter Wanderley albums! Cheesy, but fun!
-
Congrats, Charlie.. and congrats to you, Jim!
-
I'm ready big time for an upgrade to Inner Urge!
-
Left and Right.. a big HELL YEAH! Especially the suite from the original side 1.
I also enjoy Kirk's work a lot, along with most of the Mercury stuff... I think I saw they are releasing "Kirk" in Copenhagen as an LPR, BTW
-
I saw this as well today, got the Select, but will gladly pick up The Phantom and the Reuben Wilson CD anyway... bravo Water!
-
I could certainly hear some vinyl artifacts when listening today, but it does sound better than the old CD IMO.
-
I enjoy Sweet Rain, Tones for Joan's Bones, and RTF up to Where Have I Known You Before (IMO, more a rock record than a jazz one, but that's OK by me)... as well as the time with Blue Mitchell. After that... nah.

Happy birthday eloquent jazz fan lady!

He's been out of the game for a long time, true, but he's been successful at everything he's ever done in life.
I'm from DC, though living in San Diego, and this is the happiest sports day that I have had since the Redskins last won the Super Bowl in January 1992. I think it's the best hire they could possibly make.
I'm absolutely stunned, and here's the reaction....

Congrats...
-
I also enjoyed Groove the best and Groovin' with Jug was a disappointment to me.
-
For me, perhaps the JRVG of Goin' West and the Gil Evans and Ten SACD.
-
Part of Wes Montgomery's Smokin' at the Half Note (the studio piece) was recorded the day I was born, September 22, 1965.
The next day, Albert Ayler recorded Spirits Rejoice... now how's that for contrasting music?
-
Looking at the Reece disks I have and times, it absolutely would fit on 3 discs with the Jordan album.
-
SS. let me pile on the bandwagon in praise of your wonderful thoughtful post about Big John... so glad you had the pleasure to know him!
-
OK, not great, but worth it if you pay less than I did over Ebay which was about $27.
Not that I'm selling my copy anytime soon
-
For Soul-Jazz... The Natural Soul by Lou Donaldson is just awesome, and finally quite easily available in the US, great RVG here...
-
6 right, no book, I like his flute and bass clarinet work better than the alto sax work.

For me, the 20's. Got my first LP that was really a jazz one - the Blow-Up soundtrack - in 1985 at around 20.
Loved 60's music at the time - and still do - and knew that and the progressive rock of the 70's had been influenced by jazz... bought a few pure jazz CD's at 22, then started collecting in earnest in 1991 at age 26... at the time it was more fusion, Bitches Brew and Emergency by the Tony Williams Lifetime, and then started listening to Herbie Hancock and Jimmy Smith - 1000 or so jazz CD's later and still growing, here I am!
Freddie Roach/Brown Sugar (Water)
in Re-issues

Anyone who has a copy of the Water of this - how's the sound quality? I've got the TOJC but wouldn't mind an upgrade.. the title cut is my favorite Freddie Roach tune!
