So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[sidewinder]

Cheesy and sleazy !

[mjazzg]

First listen to this, it sounds good to me.  I don't follow Metheny religiously but dip into his catalogue occasionally and I'm invariably surprised by how much I enjoy the visits.

Mose Allison "Autumn Song" Prestige/OJC cd.

I short-change Allison's piano playing and shouldn't--his was a real talent and he fused a true jazz style with a swing of its own.

And then there's that uniquely phrased flowing voice.

Barney Wilen, "La Note Bleue" 2 cd set.

Disc 2, the live concert from '89 with Jackie Terrasson, Gilles Natural and Peter Gritz.

Sound is decent if not great. Playing is wonderful!

The first disc of this ten cd set. . . Anthony Braxton Quartet "(Standards) 2020"

I keep trying Braxton and this is a Braxton project I like, in large part because I like the work of Alexander Hawkins, pianist here.

Max Roach Quintet in Europe with Sam Rivers (Condition West)

Not a great deal of info on this one available out there. If anyone knows when it was recorded or who was in the group, let me know. Some of them get called out, but not all. It doesn't seem to be on Discogs even.

Now, something very different. Getting ready for the next Bootleg Series Volume coming out next week . . . .

Bob Dylan "Empire Burlesque" Sony Blu-Spec CD2.

The material from this album in the upcoming Volume is supposedly somewhat stripped of the production elements that annoy most of us. . . that should be interesting.

Now:

 

Earlier:

Good stuff.

Picked that up myself recently, but haven’t listened to it yet. Your post has inspired me to move it up front in my listening queue.

Noro Morales - Como esta - Tico 1960

I've been meaning to investigate Morales' music.  MG, would you have a recommendation for a good place to begin?

I've somehow got a disc's worth of Infidel's outtakes on my computer and it's way better than the original release, so I'm looking forward to this.  

[jazzbo]

I don't have any bootleg material from these releases so i'm really looking forward tho this set as well.

From Solovox To Supersonic - my homemade Sun Ra assemblage of the Saturn Catalog in chronological/session order from 1948-1956. It breaks up nicely into two LP-length CDs, with the break coming where the first Transition session is, and then, the two cuts from the second Transition session that didn't make it to Delmark.

Using all the latest mastering, except for the single version of "Saturn", which the Strut Singles album fucked up on and didn't use, and the early cuts from Deep Purple, which to my knowledge aren't available yet(?).

The great thing about the (relatively) cleaner sound is having more detail on exactly what Jim Heardon was up to, which ends up being really interesting. Drums, electric bass, and tympani, all sorts of shiftings of rhythmic gravity going on with that combination, Max playing tympani with Monk...where did he get that idea? Who knows? But this, this is here.

Enjoy!   

 

I've got five. I like 'Como esta' a lot.

The others are 

Holiday in Havana - cheapo on Design from 1960, but probably earlier material

 

 

His piano and rhythm - Ansonia 1960 - very nice indeed

 

 

Mambo with Noro - Palladium 1952 very nice indeed

 

Mambo with Morales - Harmony (Most is with Humberto Morales)  

 

The cheapos are likeable, but I don't think they're as nice as the proper issues. But I bet they're a cinch to find in cutout bins.

Nelson Riddle - Batman 1966 theatrical film OST.

Is this not some of the greatest music ever written?
