blind-blake Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 An old favorite - Wesley Wallace playing No. 29. Just heard this for the first time. Really nice cut! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 "Romantic Love" by David Fathead Newman from his recent CD -. THE BLESSING Newman's tenor solo is pure delight. The solos of Steve Nelson and David Leonhardt are also very fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 "Nanfule" by Maa Hawa Kouyate and Soundioulou Cissokho, from the album "Le couple royal de la musique traditionalle" GBR. Long, long out of print. I think my copy is probably a pirate. This track never fails to captivate me; pure melody, exultant, but restrained.

Big Al Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 The soundtrack CD to Woody Allen's Radio Days. I don't know the name of the song that plays as the credits begin in the movie, but it's not on the CD and I wish it was. This is one of the CDs that first got me hooked on jazz.

Larry Kart Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Chu Berry's solo on the alternate take of "Too Marvelous For Words," from the Mosaic Box. Fascinating player, significantly different from his colleagues, including Coleman Hawkins. Berry was in another place. Also, while I'm not saying this is the way he put his thing together, think of him in harmonic terms first, and it gets very interesting.

Guest Bill Barton Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Two of them, one old and one new. Abdullah Ibrahim: "Ancient Africa" from the Sackville album of the same name & Torben Waldorff: "Late" from American Rock Beauty (new on artistShare). Donny McCaslin's tenor on this one is sublime.

Big Al Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 this is a huge one for me, i finally undertand after 29 years, and have a new profound respect for the words and music of BILLY JOEL!!! Wow, that's right about the age I figured out what Joel was saying all these years and promptly lost all respect for his music and especially his words. ******* A track called "Look No Further" from an album called No Strings (With Strings by Ralph Burns and His Orchestra made me feel all kinds of melancholy. After hearing it for the first time, all I kept remembering was the Peanuts episode "She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown," the scene where Woodstock whistles "O Mio Babbino Caro" as Peppermint Patty ice skates. (no, I don't know squat about opera; Google and Wikipedia make finding answers so easy these days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde - Alfreda Hodgson/Horenstein/BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra -final movement - Der Abschied Not just the best track all week - I have a sense that I may not hear any music that's more moving than this over the rest of my life.

JohnS Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I've been working my way through a bunch of Special Edition live tapes this week. Lots of nice stuff but a long version of India with a lengthy oblique piano introduction by DeJohnette, followed by David Murray on bass clarinet has got to be the most arresting thing I've listened to this week.

Matthew Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The Beach Boys -- Surf's Up Absolutely gorgeous. I always find it amazing that this beautiful music can come from such a SoCal soul crushing state-of-being and location like Hawthorne. And I say that as one who grew in a soul-crushing SoCal locale myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zootsi Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Fantastic Mood by Cleve Lyons. This unusual, obscure Hammond B3 piece was played many years ago on the George 'Hound Dog' Lorenz radio show out of Buffalo. I can remember it from my youth, never knew what it was until I just came across it on Hound Dog's web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Mingus Sextet - "Meditations" I'd heard the versions from Cornell and the Jazz Workshop, but the piece never made much of an impression on me until I stumbled on this video earlier in the week (I've been on a big Mingus kick). I returned to the Cornell verison with a renewed appreciation for this truly stunning composition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOd4TlP7MP8 Edited February 26, 2010 by colinmce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
