50's Jazz Club Sounding Songs?
I have been out of commission on several fronts over the past several months. This weekend, I spun some records for the first time in some time. I started with a sampling of various degress of bop stuff, which are my favorites though I have only a few. I came to the realization that I had found what, for me, is the "personification" of the sound that makes me "feel" like I'm in a very hip, ultra cool, smoky, 50's jazz club in Midtown Manhattan. A time gone by. Corn-fed Prime Rib, garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, followed by half a dozen martinis and luscious jazz.................
The song:
"Autumn Leaves"
The version:
From the LP "Somethin' Else"
J. Adderley - alto sax
M. Davis - trumpet
H. Jones - piano (block cord master)
S. Jones - bass
Any contenders from the rest of you? ;)
