Jazz for aficionados
Red Garland SOUL JUNCTION Prestige Records 1957 / 2007 "I remember the sessions well, I remember how the musicians wanted to sound, and I remember their reactions to the playbacks. Today, I feel strongly that I am their messenger." -- Rudy van Gelder I can't decide who is worst, this guy or Granz. Soul Junction Hallelujah Birk's Works

Modern times and damn human rights. I can't even took off anyone's head in peace, without somebody protesting... Ain't that the truth. I can remember back in the good old days when The Queen said "off with their heads," heads rolled. Now just protest and whining about their 'rights'. Being Queen ain't what it used to be. Cheers |

Notes: Gibberish. Recorded May 15, 1953. Toronto, Canada. wee (nice to hear Bird). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWzetd6Hjn8 perdido https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8JzD_K-tXw a night in tunisia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkn2rDQx0Ok salt peanuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eapPwd8v5Xg Worthy constituent????

The Potts recording was in contrast to the Gil Evans/Miles Davis landmark rendition of Porgy and Bess that commercially overshadowed it. The differences were merely in the arrangers’ taste and personality. The two recordings were equal artistically. --- Jazz Times OP, I am not sure what he, Potts, was trying to achieve. I guess I will now have to dig out Miles and compare. I do think that he missed the mark on one of the signature pieces of Porgy, "It ain’t necessarily so". If you don’t get that right, you don’t get P&B right. But, I did love "my man’s gone now". It seems as if the players, who were all first class, played what was put in front of them, without considering what and who P&G was all about. Can’t win them all. Cheers |
My last purchase of Nina, back in May of this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-BXkIZhsVo&list=PL8ISe0LkZlKLiaHarHGjqpCljt4zQJ6Rh&index=4 I like her when she is funny, because she is so serious all the time. Cheers |
@pjw81563: Are you familiar with this series? I think it's very good, esp because he tells what's going on, all over the war on any particular day. Seems to be well researched. Very balanced accounts. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=world+war+two+channel Cheers |
Canada and Vaccine: We will have to wait and see. They put their money on the Chinese vaccine, thereby being late to the queue for the American vaccine. As usual, they want to be treated as part of this country when it suits them. I see a merger between the two countries in the future. The only sensible thing to do. The General is an impressive officer. Looked and talked like he worked in the Pentagon. :) Cheers |
Since all of the so-called 'aficionados' have quit the thread, or, are off somewhere pouting, this is the ideal time to slip in a little blues. After all, it is Saturday night in the delta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jcGY7NbaQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzr1Rfn-P4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc0bkkKFhfI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oica5jG7FpU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd7b1Ye6Oc0 Cheers |
My only Herbie Mann CD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WkbHr9zEIo Have 'Memphis Underground' on LP. Never thought of him as a serious Jazz player. One of the many that came in and out of Jazz over the years, as fads came and went. Cheers |
