jazzbo Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 "She's Moved On," Porcupine Tree, "Deadwing" Cd. Just a track that has all the elements I like so much about this band. Rocking, moving, some virtuoso playing, dynamics, drama, beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Stevie Wonder- Boogie on Reggae Woman Heard this on the radio today, and the groove still sounds as good today, as it did back in the day. Can I play? Absolutely, Stevie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hard to say if it was the best, but "Joshua" on Bobby Hutcherson's "Spiral" Blue Note LP blew me away. With Freddie Hubbard (tp); Sam Rivers (ts); Bobby Hutcherson (vib); Andrew Hill (p); Richard Davis (b); Joe Chambers (d), how could it not?!

Peter Friedman Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 ""Keystone" from the Joe Henderson album MIRRORS,MIRRORS. This tune written by Ron Carter has, to my ears, a Monk feeling. A fine solo by Joe, and Chick Corea's solo is one of his best as a sideman. Billy Higgings playing here reminded me of Roy Haynes. Unfortunately, this tune plus "What's New" are the only tunes on the cd that I really like. But "Keystone" is so enjoyable that I need to keep the cd.

colinmce Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Anthony Braxton and Stuart Gilmour doing a soprano/piano duet on "Rosetta" from 14 Compositions (Traditional) 1996. What a wonderful and singular album in the man's discography! It starts out in a very polite mode before Anthony rips it apart like only he can. When he comes back to the head (on a dime!) he goes back to playing straight, but laces it with out-phrasing. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 About 30 minutes into this CD (Track 1), Evan Parker unleashes a monster, jaw dropping sax solo that has to be heard to be believed. Even for Parker, this is a knock-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 It had been a while, but I listened to Roberta Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face yesterday. The one thing I can agree with myself at age 13: This is the finest recording ever made. I don't care; it just is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Skid Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 It had been a while, but I listened to Roberta Flack's First Time Ever I Saw Your Face yesterday. The one thing I can agree with myself at age 13: This is the finest recording ever made. I don't care; it just is. Speaking of Roberta Flack, the "best track" I've heard lately (in fact, I've been somewhat _obsessed_ with it lately): Hampton Hawes, "At The Piano", "Killing Me Softly With His Song"...

jazzbo Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Miles Davis, "Spanish Key," Bitches Brew, (original mix via cd). I've known this piece since 1971 or so. . . but this week I've played it a few times and it stuck in my noggin, especially during a long motorcycle ride in the cool of the morning.

John Tapscott Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Dexter Gordon - "I Want More" from the Jazz Icons Series 2 Bonus DVD. Dex really digs in on this relatively short (for Dexter) track plus there's a great swinging piano solo by Tete Montoliu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavenport Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Davy Graham - "Ain't Nobody's Business" and "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright". In fact, pretty much all of Davy Graham's "Folk, Blues and Beyond" album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
