So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Miles Davis “E.S.P.” Mobile Fidelity SACD

This one is waking me up.

[JSngry]

I need more quiet in my head than I have now to be able to do this one full justice. But I know it's there to be had.

Leon Thomas “Full Circle” Flying Dutchman cd

Not your typical Leon Thomas album, but it has that Friday thang goin’ on. … . The Santana tune is great.

Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis / Johnny Griffin “Pisces” OJC cd

Recorded for Riverside on May 3, 1962 but never issued until this cd. Could be because of the darned celeste.

I've never seen that one before.  Good stuff?

Very good. Brawny slightly Avant adjacent Chicago big band with a commitment to the tradition. Similar concept to Kahil El Zabar's smaller groups.

Early 00s weren't a great time for mainstream jazz in my opinion. This is one of my favourites from that era.

I like this one.

Soundwise, a disappointment. Harsh piano sound, all miked closely. No room ambience. Cannot believe David Baker engineered this. Typical quickshot 1979 sound. But they very good. Sam Jones with Kenny Barron and Keith Copeland. Two alternates on this CD.

Do you have the LP or the CD? I bought the LP but I think I should have gone with the CD. I can't listen to it as often in LP form.

I'm looking forward to seeing them again at Scullers Jazz Club on March 11th.

That's my favourite Christy LP - she swings more here than on any other album.
