So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Teasing the Korean]

Oliver Nelson - The Blues & the Abstract Truth

One of my first jazz LPs.  This would be an amazing album if it were not for that annoying shit-kickin' redneck track on side 1. 

[Teasing the Korean]

Piero Umiliani - Today's Sound

[jlhoots]

Sam Rivers: Undulation (archives series, vol. 5 - NoBusiness CD)

"Hoe Down" is my favorite part of that album, no accounting for taste.

just for the sake of factual accuracy "shit-kickin' rednecks" and "hoe-down" occupy two different zones of linguistic as well as sociological chronological/historical relevancy.

Although, there might well be some overlapping of the Venn diagram of generation successions. Some.

Well yes, no doubt.  But people using that sort of put down are unlikely to make such fine distinctions.

This is a very powerful musical composition.  Perhaps Ms. Akiyoshi's most important album . . .

Stan Getz Quartet with Astrud Gilberto "Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1966" Lost Recordings 2 cd set, disc 1

 

 

I love "Getz a Go Go" with this outfit and this one is also very very good.

I'm still waiting on my copy from Amazon.  Should be here next week.  I also have a Blossom Dearie CD in this series also on backorder with Amazon.

"Ella at Duke's Place." Oh my. I forgot how lovely this one is in every way.

"Imagine My Frustration" is one of my favorite performances by Ella!

We all approach music from our own perspectives.

Getting Monday morning off to a swingin' start with Count Basie:

 

[JSngry]

You know what I like about Elvin Jones? When you hired him for your record, by god, you pay for Elvin Jones, you GOT Elvin Jones!

The corollary to that is that if you're going to have Elvin Jones on your record, you better be ready to play with Elvin, which everybody here certainly does.

Everybody else on this record, yeah, ok, they're parts, but as Trane knew, there is only ONE Elvin Jones.

I've got a feeling this may be a wall-to-wall Count Basie day:

I regret not going to that. Saw Hebden and Reid which was excellent. They were on a bill with The Thing so it so nearly could have happened that night too.

I was living in Tokyo at the time, but would have gone otherwise. I remember looking at the listing with envy.

Funny to return to these after the recent FloPo / Sanders record.
