mgraham333 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I was playing both Africa/Brass and The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and noticed how nicely they played together. Does anyone have any suggestions for what might round out the rest of a 5-disc changer (if you have more suggestions, don't limit yourself). Looking for a similar sound. Thanks.

Chuck Nessa Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Add Mingus, Mongus, Mangus, Mungus, Mengus. You get the idea - if you want that thick ensemble sound. Two more slots to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Archie Shepp - There's A Trumpet In My Soul. Not as big of an ensemble, but the shitty recording quality blurs it to where you'll never know. Plus, the album goes through those moods like TBS&TSL does, or something thereabouts.

Chuck Nessa Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Since Jim opened up Shepp territory I suggest Fire Music and/or Mama Too Tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgraham333 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I didn't really care for the vocals on There's A Trumpet In My Soul but it led me to Bobby Hutcherson's Now (already on the shelf). I checked out clips for Mama Too Tight & Fire Music and those could be worth exploring. The McCoy was interesting too. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 How about Sonny Criss - Birth of the New Cool? This one sounds very Mingus-like (or Mingussy if you will) to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yes, BIG thumbs on on the Sonny Criss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fent99 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Max Roach's Its Time fills a space like this for me, though some might not like the choir. Lots of Impulse sets with a similar feel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgraham333 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Birth of the New Cool has been on my wishlist for a while. I like "Sunrise, Sunset" from This Is Criss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 If you want one disc in the rotation that will give you the same thing only differently, consider Gil Evans' Svengali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 May I suggest George Russell's 'New York, NY'? Not exactly in the same mood but there is Coltrane on that one too and a lot of smashing solos and arrangements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hell, even the cuts from Cecil's Into the Hot session would work well - atonal R&B! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montg Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Max Roach's Its Time fills a space like this for me, though some might not like the choir. Lots of Impulse sets with a similar feel Speaking of Roach, Percussion Bitter Sweet on Impulse kind of fits into the vibe you're describing.
