So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[kh1958]

Donald Byrd, Live at the Jazz Workshop, Boston, September 4, 1973

[jazzbo]

Tania Maria, "Olha Quem Chega"

Her second album, featuring her vocals with orchestra, very different from her later work.

Followed by

The Duke Ellington Orchestra (conducted by Mercer Ellington) "Only God Can Make a Tree" Music Masters cd

This one has had to grow on me over the years, but it has. Pretty nice cd to play a bit louder than usual.

Doug Carn, Jazz is Dead 5

Sorry to pick this random post, but I have seen these around and I wondered what they are.

A series that hasn't ever quite lived up to the promise. Younge and Ali Shaheed Mohammed choose a "legend" to collaborate with on each. They are worth a listen if you're open to a beat-focussed, Madlib influenced Jazz (some keepers of the Jazz flame might baulk at the J word).

I liked the Brian Jackson, Jeane Carn and Gary Bartz more than others. All streamable I think.

Thanks. I'm so so on that sort of thing although I like hip hop just fine, so may pass.
