Norm Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) if i still have to work at 3 usually lighter fare such as Elliott Smith... Nice choice His album XO is particularly well suited for late nights. Other non-jazz singles I like in the wee hours include Creedence Clearwater Revival's cover of "I Heard it through the Grapevine" and Big Head Todd and the Monsters' "Midnight Radio" Edited September 24, 2009 by Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 new one in my house - nice for late night listening (been tested twice now...): Lorez Alexandria - Alexandria the Great (the supporting cast features Wynton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb, Paul Horn and Ray Crawford, among others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Bill Evans & Jim Hall's Intermodulation and Undercurrent as well as Bill's Explorations are good for late nights too. Agreed! The Evans/Halls will do as well as the solo Evans I mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 actually, I'm always looking for "morning after" records - Ornette's FREE JAZZ or anything from the Trane at the Village Vanguard usually does the trick for getting rid of hangovers, headaches, strange women, unwanted relatives, etc. Besides, after listening to those, the day can only get better..... ******* Back to the topic at hand, without knowing it beforehand, Steve Lacy's Monk album with Don Cherry became a perfect late-night jazz record on first listen.

AllenLowe Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) I think we have a time zone problem here - I mean, when it's my late night (let's say 11 PM) it's something like 2 PM in Tokyo, 5PM in Hawaii, and 1962 in South Wales - Edited September 25, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 new one in my house - nice for late night listening (been tested twice now...): Lorez Alexandria - Alexandria the Great (the supporting cast features Wynton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb, Paul Horn and Ray Crawford, among others) Not heard that one but I've always wondered about it. I played Bette Roche's "Singin' and swingin'" the other night and her version of "Come rain or come shine", with a fabulous obligato from Jimmy Forrest running through the whole track, stopped me dead! Her other Prestige Album, "Lightly and politely" is another good 'un. Etta Jones is another great late night singer. Anything by her. Also, how could we forget the entire Black & Blue "Midnight slows" vols 1-10? And some remarkable albums on Moodsville, after which the "Midnight slows" series was modelled? In particular: Arnett Cobb - Ballads by Cobb Gene Ammons - Soulful moods Gene Ammons - Nice and' cool (these two are on the twofer "Gentle Jug") Willis Jackson - In my solitude Sam "The Man" Taylor - The bad and the beautiful Coleperson Hawkins - At ease Coleperson Hawkins - The Hawk relaxes and the first Moodsville Red Garland Trio + Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
