Dub Modal

Not a bad show tonight. The hip hop celebration was pretty cool.

Ha, it was not my thing either.

Album is on YT Music

3's production really brought 50s style to my mind. Pretty ballsy for that time period.

I've avoided DG successfully but still spent more on music this year than I wanted. A visit to the DG site right now would be near disastrous for my budget

There's also the funky hat with the badminton bird on top of it. Unique dude to say the least

And with that I'm now "Explorer" level here

First: Then:

10+ minute tune called Higgins Holler is fun although not what I usually listen for on a Cedar Walton album.

Roach's playing is intense on this album. I've got that Mosaic Single as well - love it! I picked up that Farewell record recently via the Octave Lab Deep Jazz Reality series. Excellent record!

Just got some new headphones so perfect time to break them in: 1 - Beautifully played tune. Recorded within the last decade maybe? The guitar and piano together are basically ear candy. No guesses. 2 - Scattin' to solo piano. Well played, no guesses on tune or player. 3 - Trumpet led trio? Damn, very nice. From the 50s maybe? Chet Baker? Those snare shots are fun but I'm not guessing Haynes. 4 - Growling brass opening, noir-ish intro. Some LeGrand tune perhaps? So far two tracks with great piano followed by two with no piano. Hmm.... 5 - Ok, latin-style intro. Nice congas. Fluid tenor. Good feel between the players. Congas are the MVP because they're keeping this together, well, along with the piano. Trap player is totally allowing the congas to drive this (unless there's no trap and they're standing there hitting the cymbals & high hat). Bass sound is iffy. 6 - Getz? Nice track 7 - Help me - is she singing in Spanish? The prior track was Portuguese from a Brazilian singer right? This one sounds almost like the singer is Catalonian at parts. No guesses. Piano leads, but the congas are intense. I dig the bass as well. Cool little global excursion with those 3 songs... 8 - Back to a more traditional arrangement. Familiar head but I can't name the tune. Sax meanders into a melancholy territory but comes back a little. The band brings them back. Recorded in the last decade? Rosenwinkel on guitar? Is the trumpet player holding back during their solo? Sounds a little deferential. 9 - Ok, an older tune. Bass & piano are totally on the right, drums & flute soundly on the left. Ok, so there's a cello as well? Man, no guesses here either. 10 - Bass & piano duet so far. Great playing but no guesses. Both players are grooving in this one. Bassist starts out in a sprint almost then calms down a bit, I guess in prep for that solo. Which is great btw. 11 - I dig the intro. Big tone from the sax player. Bassist is nimble. I like the tune but just as above I'm clueless. 12 - Percussion heavy BFT. I dig it! Going for the mysterious, off kilter intro here. Kind of corny progression though...pop-ish in a way. Kind of spoiled the adventure a little bit. Although this track has percussion as well, it's a texture feature for this tune and doesn't lead/drive which is a bit different. The song would be relatively the same without them. 13 - First appearance of an organist. Woo hoo! Is that singing as well? Yep, someone is doing something there. Weird tune. Lady Sings the Blues comes in late...no guesses. 14 - Ok, well, all good until this one. Not my thing here. Nice collection. Thanks for putting this together!

KC can thrive without establishing the run which is good because Jordan Davis simply shuts that down. I don't think the Chiefs defense has what it takes to stop the Eagles offense though. You can't ever count out a Mahomes led offense but it's going to take some Eagles mistakes for the Chiefs to win this.

The Prisoner has never clicked with me. Actually, most Hancock on Blue Note leaves me cold (not all, mind you). I'm sure it's my terrible taste that's the problem.

More Ellington: And then more non-jazz:

I really love Steppin' Out. Great album

And then some non-jazz:

Incredible. I gotta read his work now, especially the Monk.

ET is a hyper conservative site, and is inherently political. Linking them here sends traffic their way. Your link was the one worth the share. If ET gets anything correct, then it falls under broken clock status.

I don't think that Sam Jones title legally streams and that's probably the reason for the price (probably a rarer OJC as well). Jones' discography on streaming platforms seems pretty small as well.

Would Azymuth fit the description?

Indeed.

@Д.Д. needs to get in on this 😁

The recent movie Confess, Fletch has a lot of jazz playing throughout although I can't seem to find a soundtrack for it. Also, recent movie Don't Worry Darling has a jazz-centric soundtrack: Ray Charles– The Right Time 3:25 Dizzy Gillespie– Bang Bang 3:03 Benny Goodman Sextet– When Or When 3:23 Mel Tormé– Comin' Home Baby 2:43 Brenton Wood– The Oogum Boogum Song 3:07 Little Anthony & The Imperials– Tears On My Pillow 2:19 The Platters– Twilight Time 2:45 The Chords– Sh-Boom 2:27 Little Willie John– Need Your Love So Bad 2:17 Santo & Johnny– Sleepwalk 2:24 Helen Foster– You Belong To Me 2:56 Ella Fitzgerald– Someone To Watch Over Me 4:33 Alice & Jack– With You All The Time 2:59

There's probably some good stuff here: https://bandcamp.com/tag/hammond-b3-organ I haven't had time to explore just yet but it's on the list.

Reinstituting intermission on a regular basis would require theaters to staff properly which they either can't or won't do for the most part. Specialty theaters could do it but not many art house flicks stretch over marathon distances.
