akashick Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hi everybody. I got an old tape called "walkman jazz: various artist" wich I lost. I used to listen to it a lot but now I can't remember the title or artist for a couple of songs in there. 1) The first one was a pice in 'A minor' that starts with a vibraphone playing a melody and within 3 bars starts a piano doing the same melody overlaping the vibraphone, 3 bars later a female chorus and then a male chorus. Do this sound like something to you?. If does, please let me know. 2)The other one i've forgotten is some kind of a blues, I think in C minor, with a large brass section playing one motive and many variations, but the key to know might be the large (and very fine) organ solo in the middle section. too damn hard?. I wish not. Thank you. rorocabrera@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Not much to go on, but for 2), I'd speculate on Jimmy smith's "Walk On The Wild Side". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alon Marcus Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I guess the first one is by the MJQ (vibes and piano playing counterpoint). I don't remember if Bags Blues is in A, it's surely not minor though the blues theme is ambivalent (because of the blue notes) and may be mistaken for a minor.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 googling shows these might be those that were released by Verve when CDs came about titled the "Compact Jazz" Series. the "Sampler". Jim's right on the Smith if this be the disc. yipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 And believe it or not, I was going to suggest the Swingle Singers/MJQ collaboration for 1), but wasn't sure enough. I used to have that album (on Phillips, iirc, bought it at a pawn shop for 50 cents or something, totally plowed). Listened to it once or twice and literally threw it in the trash. Not my cup of tea... But yeah, that would definitely fit the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akashick Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Thank you guys! It was exactly that Compact Jazz "The Sampler", surely it was released here in Venezuela with other name, and I guess I'm not too good googling. Really apreciate that one.
