Hardbopjazz Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) This evening I was listening to "Tuesday's in Chinatown" and it made me fall asleep. I like Andy Bey's voice and singing, infact, I've seen him live, but this CD made me sleepy. If you're on any sleep aids, stop them and pick up that CD. At least there's no side affects.

No hard feelings HBJ. I think Tuesday's in Chinatown is terrific. Andy Bey is a special kind of genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I agree 100%. I even dig his vocals on those Horace Silver CD's from the mid 70's and on. I like that CD Tuesday's in Chinatown. It just makes me real relaxed, that's all. I can't think of another CD that did that to me. Tom.

BFrank Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Does Shirley Horn put you to sleep, too? How about Mal Waldron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hey, sleep is a necessity in life. We need music like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Spent an entire month my freshman year in college trying to listen to that Denny Zeitlin at the Trident side on Columbia, but fell asleep every time. I kid you not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Try putting on Jimmy Scott's "Falling In Love Is Wonderful." Beautiful album that is one of my favs, but will definately put you in such a relaxed state you'll fall asleep. Those tempos! If you haven't heard this album, get it!

AllenLowe Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) actually, if you look closely, there is small print on many albums that says: "do not listen to this while operating heavy machinery" Edited February 3, 2006 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Schlouch Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I would have well bought this CD but it is not paid off by the Social Security. I joke, because I like Andy Bey, especially when he is backed by Barney Wilen and Kenny Dorham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to listen to it again. Is this the album with a woman lying on the floor and a man sitting by a fireplace looking at her? It's been a real long time since I took this one out for a listen.

BFrank Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I find the Coltrane/Johnny Hartman album pretty sleep inducing, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 These poor vocalists no wonder why we don’t talk about them too much here, we would all go to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValerieB Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I find the Coltrane/Johnny Hartman album pretty sleep inducing, actually. Well, yeah. Sleep after sex is not uncommon. touche!!! just have to chime in that, unfortunately, mr. bey bores me too, although he has a nice-sounding voice. i just don't like how he uses it. shirley horn, however, could never bore me. neither could johnny hartman.

"nice-sounding voice"?? That's the best you can say of him? Before anyone passes final judgment on Andy, I suggest they check out Gary Bartz' "Harlem Bush Music" albums (now on 1 CD). A totally different experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
