Jazz for aficionados

@stuartk 

I have never heard that Ginger Baker album before. It will definitely be on today’s playlist and I’m going to look for more!

Thanks.

@acman3 

The demo was postponed until next Friday.😕

Reid Anderson, Dirty Show Tunes  is putting a smile on my face.

@acman3 

I’m really getting frustrated.  The dealer canceled again, so now I have no idea when or if I’m going to get a demo.🙁

Curiousjim, Did you find new speakers?

Love the Brandenburgs! Can’t pick a favorite, but there are a couple I listen to more than others.

@jafant 

I listened to Eric Alexander, Nightlife In Tokyo and really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the suggestion. 

My sister in law is visiting and last night she reintroduced me to PDQ Bach and we spent the entire evening laughing.

 Know it’s not jazz related, but the albums are fun to listen to.

@mahgister 

Between jazz friends all is jazz.😊

☺️☺️

@alexatpos 

Al Haig is wonderful. It’s looking like I’m going to have the house to myself tomorrow and I know what I will be listening to.😁

Just watched a video of the Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio from 1991 and it was great!

So far today has been a good day.  David Murray, In a sentimental mood. Bill Charlap, Street of dreams. Hampton Hawes, For real.  Billy Cobham, Drum’nvoice vol. 1-4.  Jane Monheit, The songbook sessions.  Paolo Fresu, Songlines.  The best of The Three Sounds.  There’s three tracks left on the Dave Murray album and then I’ll let things cool down a bit.

Listening to Alliance - Alliance and so far it’s right up my alley.

@acman3 

I don’t know if he sold his soul or not, but Wayne Shorter was excellent in Weather Report.😁

@frogman

That clip was good, now I have to find and watch the whole movie.😁

@frogman 

Wow, I had no idea it came from a TV show! I will find the episode,  Battle Hymm.

Yesterday, I had the Ray Brown Trio playing for several hours. I played the first five albums that came up on Qobuz and really didn’t pay attention to the names of the albums.  It was a great afternoon.

@alexatpos @frogman 

Thanks guys for bringing up Hal McKusick. Happily listening to Cross Section now and Triple Exposure next.

Now’s The Time isn’t on Qobuz or Amazon. 🙁

@alexatpos

So I just got around to looking up the album Guitar in the wind and all Qobuz has is listed as by Barry Galbraith, with 12 songs @35 minutes.  Sure wish they had the second disc!😁

@alexatpos

Three of your four videos came up as unavailable 🙁. Guitar in the wind, was the only one that made it.  Oh and it’s excellent 😁

Lol,

I stay as far away from politics and politicians as I can! 

Listening to the John Wright Trio, South Side Soul on this rainy morning. Here’s hoping the power doesn’t go out.

@jafant

Which Pat Metheny album are you referencing? There are so many to choose from.😀

stuartk,

Metheny I sort of a hometown boy for me. While he was born Missouri , about 220 miles from me, we lived about 40 miles from Lee’s Summit for 7+ years.

Oh and check out https://youtu.be/bLKb9Ms68ME?si=8M7LqbLegxDDiADo

he’s playing with Joni Mitchell so is Jaco.  There’s only a slight bit of Jazz influence, but I enjoyed watching the video just the same.

acman3

Yes, I am having the same problem. No idea if it’s part of the not being able to tag people either, but I sure hope they fix these issues soon. Then maybe they could allow people to post pictures w/o having to go through photo service next?

stuartk 

I have no idea about his Midwest Sensibilities, but with so many albums to choose from, his Musical abilities has given me hours of enjoyment!

 I am always impressed with how many great shows you have seen over the years. I’m sure that if I lived on the coast we might have sat next to each other.😁

Been listening to a refreshing group, The Mingus Hjorth Trio. Old New Borrowed Blue. A well recorded, clean sounding album.

Pat Methany

Listening to the John Nazarenko Trio, Some Other Time.  Never heard of the until they popped up on Qobuz.

Nice album.

Something Else!, Soul Jazz. Featuring Vincent Herring.

Excellent album!

Charlie Shavers, Out Of Nowhere.

@frogman 

Great tune.  I hope to have some time today to listen to more!

I also want to thank all you guys for reminding me of all the great jazz out there!

Listening to my second Bob Berg album, The JazzTimes Super Band. In case anyone is interested, Another Standard was the first.😀

Howard McGhee,  Maggie’s Back In Town.

Hey all,

I’m test driving a pair of Sonus Faber speakers and am looking for suggestions of well recorded/mixed albums that I probably haven’t thought of.  With me having a mind like a sieve, that’s most any album.

Thanks.

Thanks @ho249 ,

Right now I have the house to myself and the amps are warming up.😁

@stuartk 

what a great list.

Thank you!

@acman3 

Curiousjim, how is your speaker audition going so far? 

It’s going great! I’ve had the KEF’s for about three years and while they have great staging and depth, I have never liked their actual sound. With all the drivers being aluminum, they sound analog, with very little, if any warmth. The Sonus Farber loaners really sound wonderful and full.  Gonna hate to give them back tomorrow.
 

@acman3 

U can never go wrong with that crew!

Thanks.

@stuartk

Starting now, I’m listening to the Cannonball Adderley album that @acman3 suggested and then I’ll start down the Du Nann rabbit hole.😁

And if I haven’t said it enough, thank you.

@stuartk 

I am enjoying the Amati G5’s and I almost have permission to max out the credit cards to get a pair!

@stuartk 

I just found at least three Eastern Rebellion albums.
Happy listening to me!

Thanks!

I’ve listened to Bob Berg, Another Standard numerous times and it still makes me smile.

It was funny to me when I read a terrible review of this album.

Hey all,

Check out Binker Golding, Abstractions Of Reality Past And Incredible Feathers.

Just stumbled onto this album and it’s really good and well recorded,

Let me know what you think.

Jim

Listening to another Binker Golding album, Dream Like A Dogwood Wild Boy.

Another well recorded album. 

Listening to You Don’t Know What Love Is , makes me think of the background music from a Mickie Splaine book. It has that sultry tone.

@stuartk

I believe it was the YT link you posted a couple days ago. “You Don’t Know What Love Is “

@stuartk 

Yep, that’s it he link you posted.

@stuartk 

I’m listened to the Coltrane version that frogman posted,(actually I listened to the whole album 😃) and while I am not a wordsmith like you and frogman, I definitely enjoyed the Ballads album immensely. His version of “You Don’t Know What Love Is “ to me was much more enjoyable than Pharaohs.  But you know me, I can listen to a Trio or a Quartet playing like this all day long.

No, but I have a terrible memory!

@frogman 

Thanks for the Coltrane links.  I hope to listen to more later today.
