BillF Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 "The Fish Horn" - a great blues with Zoot Sims on soprano (not usually my favorite horn) from I Wish I Were Twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Les McCann - Yours is my heart alone; from Comment - Atlantic. I've had this album for a long time. I think it's the best vocal album Les made. The title track is a splendid civil rights anthem - "If all men were born to be free; what about you? what about me?" And that gets me every time. But what REALLY got me today was the last track, "Yours is my heart alone" (the Franz Lehar song). It's sung very, very slowly, and heavy with passion, but calm and completely NOT like a jazz record.

Peter Friedman Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 "Bluegenes" by Rob Schneiderman with Todd Coolman and Leroy Williams From CD titled GLASS ENCLOSURE on Reservoir. Schneiderman's playing here is in a relaxed blues vein with a definite Bud Powell influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) The White Stripes: Black Math. About as stripped down rock as you're going to get, the Hotrats only wished they were anywhere close to this. Also, I absolutely love how Meg plays the drums -- does that make me a bad person? http://www.youtube.c...eos=ccRIIf-J8Go Edited June 21, 2010 by Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Been on a Jerry Garcia kick this week. The 28 minute long "Don't Let Go" on disc 2 of "Pure Jerry: Theatre 1839 - July 29-30, 1977"just knocked me out this week. It's just a great jam that builds and has some spontaneously invented instrumental passages that make me want to go out and play in a rock and roll band. This particular Jerry Garcia band with Keith Godchaux, John Kahn and Ron Tutt was a tight and "listening" quartet. Even Donna Godchaux sings better on these nights, I'm sure she can hear herself in a way she can't with the Dead. Fun stuff, grooving easily along.
