Jazz for aficionados

So far, this has been a Ron Carter day.

Chick Corea Trio,   Trilogy.   

Benny Green,   Green’s Blues.   

@ezwind 

That’s really cool!
I’ve seen the Rippingtons and the Manhattan Transfer and that’s it. Oh and a few local bands.

@rok2id 

I don’t know about the OP, but I sure do!  Even saw them in concert.😁

Benny Bailey,   Mirrors.  

Claudio Roditi,   Double Standards.   

@pjw81563 

I find it hard to listen to people without ears. 

I’m thinking today will be a Kenny Drew day.

Has anyone listened to An Evening With Ron Carter & Richard Galliano?  I listened to a couple of cuts earlier and I found the mix of an accordion and a double bass quite pleasant. I will listen to the rest later.

@jdougs ,

I’ll check out New Accordion Sound. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the Richard Galliano, Ron Carter album.  Pretty much all the accordion music I’ve ever heard has been Polka music or Weird Al, so it was a pleasant surprise.

I was going to say I’d never heard of Geri Allan, but I went through a list I made years ago and found I had two albums I had ripped MP3-160. I’ll have to stream them and some others this weekend, so I can keep up with the cool kids here.

@jdougs 

I’m hoping you enjoy it as much as I did.

Booker Little,   The Complete Albums Collection.

@stuartk 

You know how jealous I am? 😁

@stuartk 

you’re right, but I saw from Harry Chaplin to The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

@stuartk 

It’s great having you around,

The other day you mentioned Booker Ervin.  When I was looking to decide what Booker Little album to play, Booker Ervin’s name popped up and I listened to a couple of his albums that evening.

You have good taste my man.

Romantic Warrior,   Return To Forever.

Very enjoyable.

Weather Report,   Black Market.   

Pat Metheny,   Better Days Ahead.   
 

Nice background music.

The Modern Jazz Quartet,   10 A Cafe With Audience.   

Art Pepper,   So In Love.  HR

Curtis Counce,   You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce. 

Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet,   Clifford Brown And Max Roach.   

Wes Montgomery,   A Day In The Life.   

Oscar Peterson,

@stuartk 

You could have warned me that the Penguins guide was over 1600 pages long!  I haven’t read a book that big since collage! 😁😁😁

@boxcarman

My story and most of the names are the same. Late seventies, Weather Report, Bob James, Earl Klugh Lee R. etc. My tastes have expanded over the years and I’ve been having great fun exploring various old timers and a few young bloods.

All the best.

Harry Allen,   How Long Has This Been Going On?   

Harold Ashby,   Scufflin’ (1978 ).  

The Gabe Balthazar Quartet,   Back In Action.   

Gary Bartz,   There Goes The Neighborhood ( With Kenny Barron ).   

Are there any clear recordings of Milt Jackson out there? Most everything I hear is sonically awful.  Flat and over modulated at the same time.

Michael Carvin,   Marsalis Music Honors.

Thomas Clausen Trio,   My Favorite Things.

@stuartk 

It’s the book.  I’m into the C’s.😄

@pjw81563 

???

Where have all the "JFA regulars" gone.....

Gene Ammons,    God Bless Jug And Sonny.  I have this and Boss Tenor on CD.

Sorry @pjw81563 

I was Drain Bamaged when I asked that question.  In fact spent the day yesterday in the hospital trying to figure things out.  I’m back home now, but still having issues.

Growing old ain’t for the weak!

Happy New Year everyone!

Jeff Darrohn,   T-Bird ‘60.   
 

Well recorded.  A lot of depth and separation.

Santi DeBriano,   Obeah.  
 

With Kenny Barron, Sonny Fortune, Jerry Gonzales & Billy hart.

@mahgister 

I haven’t listened to Sadao Watanabe in a long while.  Thanks for jogging my brain. I’ll play an album or two today.😁

@pjw81563 

I’ve been slowly going through the Penguin Guide To Jazz and I’m into the D’s.  I’ve been reading, listening and writing a list of who strikes my fancy.  Later, I hope to put everything on the computer for easy access. 

@mahgister

It’s funny, just yesterday I listened to Visions and it did not put it on my list. There is no doubt that Sun Ra and Walt Dickerson have great talent, but I am not a love of unstructured music and I’m not a huge fan of the Vibraphone. I guess I’m the reason it’s not in the top ten. Blame me.😁. But that’s what makes sharing music so much fun.

Rolf Ericson,   Rolf Ericson & The American Stars.   

Paolo Fresu,  The Blue Note Albums.

@stuartk and all,

I’m wanting to thank you again for suggesting the Penguin Jazz Recordings book.

A day hasn’t gone by where I haven’t found another artist that puts a smile on my face. As you can see, I’m up to the F’s , so I have many more great recordings to ahead of me.

I’m sure this won’t be the last time I say thank!

Sai Ghose Trio,   E-Motion.   

Alphounse Mouzon,   Mind Transplant.   
 

Dated, but still a fun listen.
