Just wondering whose idea it was that these players playing these songs this way was going to...do anything for anybody? Quote

I've been meaning to check out Dayna Stephens for years, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Also, any other Stephens recommendations welcomed. 🙂 I like it a lot. Stephens plays tenor, bari and soprano and is joined by Walter Smith III on tenor. Despite the frontline, it doesn't feel like a saxophone battle. Stephens lets his big, round speak for itself and the arrangements are thoughtful and varied, aided by a well-matched group of contemporaries. Regarding other recommendations, I also heartily recommend Kenny Barron's Concentric Circles, although I suspect that you probably already have it. I've seen Stephens with both Barron and Al Foster, which says something about him. Incidentally, he overcame health problems and received a kidney transplant several years ago. Quote

It was gonna get them in on the riches Ralph Sharon received for his recording of the same genre. Why Berry Gordy didn't put it on Workshop Jazz, I'll never know. Quote
JSngry Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Posted January 11, 2021 I suppose it's the ripple effect of Ray Charles...some very strange ripples, though. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 Andrew Hill "Passing Ships" Blue Note cd It's been too long since I had a bowl of Wolf Brand chili--OR heard this killer Andrew Hill cd. Took a long time for this to come out of the vault, but more than worth the wait! Quote

jazzbo Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 Charlie Haden "Silence" from the Black Saint/Soul Note box set. I wish Chet and Charlie had done dozens of records together. Quote

jazzbo Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 Duke Ellington "Anatomy of a Murder" Columbia/Sony cd from the Complete Albums box set (the first). Had to adjust the treble a bit, this is a harsher cd than most. But great music! Quote

JSngry Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Posted January 11, 2021 Ok...I was watching a documentary on Eno and this came on (Gymnopedies no. 1, of course, what other Satie is ever played to signify "Satie"?)...took me about 2-3 seconds to notice that it was reaaaaalllly slow. Beautifully slooooooooooooow. So at the end of the doc, they showed what it was, I 1-clicked that bad boy and now here we are. Illuminative. Quote
