Stan Getz “Serenity” Emarcy cd

 

 

This live show would be a good destination for a time machine.

 

From what period is this ? I think I remember I saw Stan Getz in a quartet with Lou Levy on piano.

I must have that somewhere. If I remember well and look at the personnel, it must be a Pablo recording. But all those Pablo records at that time had quite the same cover designs with some blue and some red, and rarely a photo. 

The encounter Diz , Milt and Ray is three key figures of the early bop days. But  if I remember right  from that record and other Pablo records Ray Brown´s bass  often is much too loud in the mix. Monty Alexander was very much in demand in the 70´s, he was a favourite of Norman Granz and later on the Concord label I think. 

As a drum-lover I just might say I would have preferred a drummer more fitting to Diz, let´s say Mikey Roker or Albert Heath.....

Is this the original recording of "Con Alma" ? I never heard that, I think they played it else than Diz played it later in the 60´s-80´s-

Yes, on that short lived Electra Musician label from Bruce Lundvall there were some hiddn treasures where you wondered where that music had been so long time undiscovered.

Bird with a fine orchestra, and I think exactly from the same period there was also a Bud trio set and Bud with the same orchestra, and they had a rare Cliff Brown-Max Roach doin "Daahoud" ....

NRG 1 is the first album in a new series from London based drummer/producer, Chiminyo, in which he and members of his musical community exchange (strictly improvised) NRG with audiences and capture the spontaneous beauty to be shared with the world.

NRG 1 features an all-star line-up (band members of Jorja Smith, Nubyan Twist, Gary Bartz, Nightmares on Wax, Yussef Kamaal) and you can really feel the vibrant NRG of the capital pulsating throughout. Tunes like ‘Raze’ and ‘Purple/Green’ and their whirling, high octane, jungle/brokenbeat aesthetic are balanced beautifully by tunes like the smooth, sexy, R&B anthem ‘SLK’ and the downtempo, ambient, latin-house ‘Eleguá’, a Yoruba prayer, led by trumpet player Yelfris Valdés, cleansing the room and bringing positive vibes to the band and the audience.

Hadn't heard about this,I shall definitely be checking it out. The London scene is very interesting

From wiki: this was recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre in 1987 and released on the EmArcy label in 1991.

So anyway you have some nice recordings from the fities until the mid seventies. That´s sure enough for someone who is not a Mingus enthusiastic.

Mingus, I think, was not " everybody´s darling" even in jazz circles. 

In my case it was a bit unorthodox: Mingus was esential for all that I  began to love in jazz, he was in any case the second record I had (my first was Miles´ "Steaming" and soon I had more Mingus records than Miles records. I was just mesmerized by what I heard. He was my guide to several styles. Via Jakie Byard and some Ellington tunes I learned about the pre bop styles, via Dolphy I got curious to hear how Bird maybe had sounded and how Ornette Coleman and his followers might sound....., He was for me "in the middle of it".
