Jazz for aficionados
Usually I am buying much more music during winter days, its colder and there are less things to do outside during nights, but now its becoming too hot to go anywhere, except perhaps for night swimming, so I did some shopping, filling the blanks in my collection. This two albums did not have previously. Art Farmer and Benny Golson Jazztet, 'Here and now' and 'another git together' https://youtu.be/x698uMu7Wb4?feature=shared https://youtu.be/qObwZMm_Jvo?feature=shared |
@Acman3, regarding AI, since very few people post here, hopefully nobody will mind this crude joke, but there is already so much 'music' made that is not very I. and certainly lot of it is A.So, I guess, not much will be changed there... I do not know have you posted J.Giufre because you liked his music, or it was because Jim Hall playing with him. Anyway, somewhat interesting small album with J.G. and Modern Jazz Quartet https://youtu.be/LCA44MgvaZg?feature=shared |
Would you listen to music played by A.I? I always thought there was something missing on this record.

@curiousjim Perhaps what I was thinking about was, for lack of a better word, "attitude". He's always struck me as being pretty down-to-earth and unassuming -- there's not a lot of ego or "edge" on display. He doesn't need to brag -- his playing speaks for itself. Rightly or wrongly, I tend to associate such a demeanor with Midwesterners, no offense intended. I have seen my share of shows over the years but there are plenty here who've seen far more, I imagine. I did have the good fortune to live in Santa Barbara from '76 to '82. Many acts would stop there between gigs in LA and the Bay Area. On the other hand, I was born just a few years too late to catch the likes of Cream, Hendrix, Joplin or Bloomfield in his prime. Woodstock is quite close to where I grew up and I read somewhere that around the time of the festival, Hendrix travelled to Middletown to see a doctor whose daughter was a classmate of mine.

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.😁 |

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. |
@jafant Have you heard this one?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_BlsY9Xg8&list=PL6O6K_7sr3qFkcg6jYcIOqpwL81b29F28 It doesn’t really sound like Jazz to me (although these are clearly Jazz musicians) but it’s an enjoyable listen. @curiousjim

@curiousjim, it must be the Russians, even the tagging is not working any more. Hope this will help, same songs, but different links. In fact, if you are not buying cd’s but only stream, than I guess its not so important to state which album on which edition exactly is published? https://youtu.be/cIluf1jyMys?feature=shared https://youtu.be/V_av-1BNUVg?feature=shared https://youtu.be/b3IXUFrqdQY?feature=shared

Also,if you like the sound of Barry Galbraith, this is nice album as well, aldo it might be difficult to find on cd.Its called ’Guitar and the wind’.I am not sure is the whole album going to be posted, but its on ytube, just follow this link (with blue cover)
I’ve got it on Oscar Petitford edition of ’Manhattan Jazz Septette’ as second album. Lone Hill is the label. Will post that one too, but I prefer the first one (g&w) |
@curiousjim , Glad you like it. Here is another album (double cd) that I have, in fact its compliation of work from McKusick Quartet with Barry Galbraith, Milt Hinton and Osie Johnson. Informative paperwork inside and it seems that all composition are there. Couple of links from there

RE: Sonny Rollins, I can’t tell when he’s being humorous and when he’s unabashedly mocking a tune. It often sounds to me as though he holds standards at arm’s length, refusing to get too caught up in their emotional content and co-opting their harmonic structures as launching pads for heady virtuoso improvisations. Of course, there’s nothing "wrong" with this. I just happen to prefer more overtly emotional playing.

Nice clips! Very good player. He was a very successful player in his heyday with an impressive discography. He was also a fine flutist. A real character whom I had the opportunity to work with on a few occasions in more commercial settings. He would fly his own airplane from his home on Long Island, NY, always with a very attractive young lady at least half his age at his side. With Bill Evans on the original album that “Whisper Not” is from:

I believe I posted some of his albums previously, but just bought this one. Its Hal Mc Kusick 'Now its time' album which is essentially a compilation of his two albums (All music guide will tell you more) and one of them is possible to find only on vinyl, so aldo I prefer single editions I had to settle on this one. Its still very much recommended. Mc Kusick, not very well known, perhaps these clips might persuade someone to listen to him as well.
