So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Terri Lyne Carrington – Real Life Story (Verve, 1989)

Jazz pop injection in my afternoon. It sounds better with time and distance I think.

Tom Pletcher & Dick Hyman "If Bix Played Gershwin" Arbors Jazz cd

A cd my Dad and I enjoyed listening to.

[Dub Modal]

Prompted by the Newport Jazz Festival thread, listening to this one from 2021. Classic vocal style in a contemporary setting. Really enjoying Pasquale Grasso's guitar playing too. Ari Roland on bass and Kenny Washington on drums.

How is as it? It’s still in my unheard backlog.

Very good. I like Sam's guitar playing very much. 

Now:

This is a very strong recording. All players unknown to me, other than the great Joe Farnsworth. But they all play very well. Lots of fire.

Yes, it is that good. Just a bit hyper, perhaps, but those were the times. It's not at all stupid about it.

[JSngry]

and here's another one.

That's even better than Dance of Magic, IMO.

And the third -- Love from the Sun -- is best of all.

That´s a fantastic record, with Woody Shaw if I remember. I must spin it again. The cover looks a bit like those early electric Miles albums "Bitches Brew" or "Live Evil"....

Woody Shaw With Tone Jansa Quartet (Timeless, 1985)

An excellent recent recommendation from this board.

Yes, but what a terrible story about the making of the record, in Max Bolleman´s book "Sounds", since he had the recording studio in Monster/Netherlands, where the record was made. I was shocked when I read it.....

On the other hand, I saw a whole concert video of Woody from the same year 1985 , leading the Paris Reunion with Graham Moncur III, Nat Adderly and Leo Wright, which is fantastic and were Woody is very articulate and taking care of business....

But reading the story about the recording date for Timeless it´s almost a wonder that some good music could be recorded......

[sidewinder]

That cover art on ‘Demon’s Dance’ is also by Mati Klarwein, who also did the ‘Bitches Brew’ art - and ‘Live - Evil’.

It's the same artist. Mati Klarwein.

What is the story about the Woody Shaw record?

He arrived completly aggresive and as soon as he came into the studio he said to Max that he is an racist. Then he was completly uncooperative as playing into the right mike, and he threw his cigarette ends on the floor.

The junkey woman who was with him, flooded the bathroom (threw all the toilet paper into the WC and thought it´s fun), they noticed it when the water entered the recording room...... ad infinitum.....
