So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Next up:

An extraordinary ordinary dance date -- and a particular favorite of mine.

There's an offhand quality about it that I love.  So relaxed.  It's perfect.

This is great.  I have the LP.  Overdue for a spin.

Yes, I dig it too.

Last time I listened to the LP set, this time the cd set.

Thelonious Monk: Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960

I also have this (present from my wife) . Strange the back beat rhythm on "Light Blue" which always let me wonder how Monk´s career could have continued through the 70s if he also changed the rhythm of some of his tunes from swing to slightly rock and using fender bass instead of acoustic, like Diz did in the 70s and 60´s when he played Con Alma with a rock beat and so on.....

But Art Tayler, who seemed to have been a strictly straight ahead swinger, seems to have difficulties with it. On the alternate takes you hear how "stiff" it sounds. Anyway, if Monk would have continued that way he sure would have landed a "hit" like Morgan´s Sidewinder.....

Of course I never had heard that name, but is the title tune Conception played in the Miles version (with the pedal point in it) or in the original written  AABA form ?

Why "of course"? He's France's answer to Kinny Dorham.

As to your question, it's a bit technical for a non-musician like me.

One of my favourites, since it was the second Mingus LP I bought or better said my mother saw it in London and bought it for me. I don´t know how often we spinned it and hummed all the tunes. A friend of mine was especially fond of "Moaning" (has nothing to do with Timmons  ´Moanin´).

Last time I listened to this set it definitely seemed like something was off, like maybe some more rehearsal or playing time before laying down these tracks was needed.

A great "two-fer" Milestone Records cd of two Gary Bartz albums: "Libra" and "Another Earth." Spacey jazz that is a great choice to listen to as April showers fall--snow showers that is!
