Jazz for aficionados
The picture of the album is beyond kitsch ...đ But Joey DeFrancesco play the Hammond better than most ... My favorite music to relaxing casual listening reading the news ... This does not means that this is not good music ...đ Another album to enjoy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zagj_yiNxDg&list=OLAK5uy_l4QcAHIohQsfa_xtFNH-kN20kUyXP6bzQ |

@curiousjim  You might like this one... 'Cohn on the saxaphone' |
Great indeed! It seems there is many albums with Humair ... I will look thanks stuartk ..
This one with Daniel Humair is more than just good it seems ... Rava is one of my favorite trumpet player in europe ... |
Wow -- this is great!!!! Do you happen to know whether this group released any recordings? Attila Zoller â Memories Of Pannonia Attila Zoller â Overcome (Live At The Leverkusen Jazz Festival) These two have the same members. I think this is about it though. |
Thanks for the suggestion ... I put them in the waiting list ... I admire Sun Ra ...

Ouff! too much good stuff in two posts ... Anyway thanks for all propositions .,.. I myself go on today with Joey Defrancesco ....It is not Coltrane or Brecker ...Perhaps not Smulyan or Saft ... He is not in the same high level jazz than some, only good jazz easy to metabolise ... I listen sometimes easy jazz .... đ Hammond rule my heart anyway ... đ |

Another day with among others i already named here, Joey DeFrancesco : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-S6rJo_ANs&list=OLAK5uy_no0K1TBhG05V4EV56mg57BJdFald2X1ic  Just fun and relaxing jazz on Hammond with guitar, a coupling i particularly enjoy ... We need relaxation ...đ I am so enthralled by my acoustic corner with these low cost modified speakers so good the soundfield is that i dont believe it myself ... Definitely the minimal acoustical satisfaction level may be lower in cost than i ever dreamed it myself ... Immersive music on all my files ... Timbre are natural and soundstage encompassing me in many recording with perfect imaging ... I cannot stop listening jazz.... With one hour classical each day ...  |
Iâm a big fan of Chick Coreaâs acoustic and Fender Rhodes playing, but as is also the case with Herbie Hancock, I do not enjoy his synth recordings. Itâs not Corea -- itâs the instrument, which Iâve never warmed to, overall. There are a few isolated exceptions. For example, Steve Winwood has on occasion, managed to coax a fairly musical ( to my ears) tone from a synth. I donât care for heavily processed electric guitar, either, though. I want to be able to discern whether itâs a Tele, Les Paul, 335, strat, etc. Otherwise, why even use instruments? Just generate any tone you please with a computer and call it good. Sorry for the rant. If you enjoy synths, you have many more possibilities to explore. Thatâs a good thing! |
,,,'and now something completely different ' (from Alice Coltrane) One of singer Annie Ross' finest sessions away from the premiere jazz vocal group Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. She is joined by either Zoot Sims or (on two numbers) Bill Perkins on tenor, pianist Russ Freeman, Billy Bean or Jim Hall on guitar, bassist Monty Budwig and Mel Lewis or Frankie Capp on drums  'A Gasser' (blends nicely with Sunday morning) https://youtu.be/1FDSdiFUj8M?feature=shared  |
Today is my Joey DeFrancesco hammond player day and multi instrumentist ... I discovered him thanks to czarivey audiogon member recommendation ... I like hammond organ jazz... I could not recommend an album in particular, they seems all interesting ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=230SAX-zDTk&list=RDEMcVCLWgzE84AMExDBDakaXw&start_radio=1    |
I must confess that i dislike most jazz singer save very few... I had listen the album "trouble" for the music variation on Dylan melodies... Not for the spoken songs ...đ I prefer Dylan over most singer in the pop culture and in the jazz culture singing ... Then i think the same as you ... but i like the Saft albums in general ...It is not classical jazz for sure ... Â

Tastes differ. Why apologize? Not sure this qualifies as Jazz but thereâs nothing to be gained through nitpicking. Personally, if Iâm going to listen to the likes of "Ballad of a Thin Man", Iâd rather listen to Dylanâs original version. Neither Dylan nor the vocalist on the Saft recording are "good" singers but I prefer Dylanâs "bad" singing. It seems to me, some songs are best left alone, as cover versions inevitably fall short. Having said that, Iâm glad youâve found another musician you enjoy ! |
Sometimes less is more ... This album of Jamie Saft is relaxing, And as his title indicate "Doom Jazz" more than perfect for me to read the news on twitter, if not there on X ,where ? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNo1Tz8yOZc&list=OLAK5uy_liDS2NGpoa9Yk_hEZtj9Oh8cc1Oc_0SPo I dont recommend it for purchase but i am very happy ti listen to it on youtube... I like Jamie Saft sorry... Â Â |
Just right now i listen anew the "trouble" album of Jamie Saft... This dude make original jazz music ...But unlike Smulyan it is an acquired taste ... đ It begun to enter in my collection of favorite with some albums ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRLDg-413Aw&list=OLAK5uy_ng8sGrK1U7Q_B3etC7NAmJUGyGPoZAr2A Â |
@curiousjim None of the live jazz shows I've attended were so loud that I needed ear plugs. If the group has any jazz-rock leanings, I'd probably bring ear plugs to be safe. New release from Jimmy Giuffre I like, concert from 1959. The sound is very good: https://youtu.be/0SZqivUMVTg?si=vh-Fd0ghDMmwr5CH He plays tenor sax on this track. It sounds better on Qobuz than on YouTube. |
I dont understand how this low cost active speakers i own can be so good ... It is my successful embeddings controls and modifications for sure , what else ? I disliked these speakers for 12 years straight and never used them for music till i was in the obligation to modify and embed them for music because they were the only one i owned now .. I cannot stop listening and i pity many of those who own 50,000 bucks speakers not well embedded ... đ  For Gary Smulyan , it is a player with genius in my book not less than Ronnie Cuber ...And i prefer his musical choices ( more classic jazz) too even if i like the two players ... You cannot go wrong with any Smulyan albums it seems to me ...  Â

You must be doing something right with your embedding! Â
Iâm going to have to buy this! You mean in dbâs ? Maybe others could answer this. I canât. What I can say is, it depends upon the venueâs acoustics, where youâre seated, if the instruments are micâd and if so, the bandâs preferences re: volume. I attended quite a few performances at Yoshiâs from trios up to the Dave Holland Big Band and never had any problems. Yoshiâs has quite a high stage. The sound was consistently excellent. If the musicians are on a very low stage and you have concerns, all I can suggest is, donât sit right in front of a horn player! If players are micâd bring earplugs to be on the safe side. I once went to hear The Cookers and the volume drove me out of the venue! They were louder than Rock shows Iâd attended! I asked the sound guy and he said it was what the band wanted. I can only assume they are going deaf. This was a disappointment as it was my second chance to hear Billy Harper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SZqOpzXd20   |
This album with Smulyan is a gem ; Three sax baritone for the price of one ,one is Ronnie Cuber đ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bbMSg3I1pg&list=OLAK5uy_kJmFAkgu-pIdwZ1TExMeuoUbSPhYaPDc0  My soundfield was never so good ...I cannot stop listening music... Save for my embeddings control efficiency i dont understand why , because my self active speakers are not top speakers as My Tannoy were ... But i was knowing nothing for the 45 years i owned them and i never listened to them at their top in an acoustic room as i know how to do now with my low cost speakers whyich i optimized a lot for sure ... I cannot stop music .... |
