| Jazz for aficionados Thanks nsp for the recommendation. I found the complete (2 discs) Mannehole sessions at discogs for 15 bucks. Amazon wanted 40 bucks and up for used copies. Its on the way to me. I'm sure you know of Manne's work with Hollywood scores like Peter G... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just checked Amazon for the 4 CD box set I have and its not to be found. However, there was an import for sale titled "Shelly Manne And His Men Complete Live At The Blackhawk" which has 1 disc so is obviously not "complete" I guess the set I pur... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3, I really love those Shelly Manne Blackhawk sessions. IMHO the musicians really gelled and played off one another perfectly. The songs have so much of a "cool vibe" I listen to that set at least once a month! | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't know if they are related but I just ordered Blacknuss on CD after listening to samples on Amazon! | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10 I would like to know what you think of the quintets Shelly Manne put together for the Blackhawk live recordings. The music itself and the recording quality. Do any of the other members here have the 4cd set besides me? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the links frogman. As orpheus10 stated some "refreshing", and to me great sounding straight ahead jazz. I noticed Peter Bernstein plays guitar on the first 2 links. He is an awesome guitar player whom I have had the pleasure of seeing l... | |

| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10 """"New Jazz" for me will be "West Coast"; there is so much of it I like that I'm unfamiliar with, and it's so different from East Coast.""""Please do yourself a favor and purchase the 4 CD set of Shelly Manne and His Men "Live at the Bl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp thanks for the link on that Mclean disc. I will probably end up buying it. Glad you saw Miles. I did not because I discovered the beauty of Jazz when I was around 30 and Miles was gone. I was strictly a rock & roller until the early 90's w... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for all the links acman3I have that Jim Hall disc. Really good group he put together for that session.IMHO Miles made just a couple of good studio recordings 80-91. The live stuff is better. I only own 1 studio album from that period-Star P... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Was at Birdland last night to see the 4 Generations of Miles show featuring Mike Stern, Buster Williams, Sonny Fortune, and Jimmy Cobb.It was an excellent show with Stern playing most of the sax parts on guitar and Fortune playing the trumpet part... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Seems we have a definitive answer on Soul"I wouldn't call that soul but it is interesting. Or was that sarcasm for the last month or so posts about who has soul and who don't!A lot of great musicians on that recording session.SOUL 101!https://www... | |
| Jazz for aficionados R.I.P. ArethaInteresting discussion on what is and is not "free jazz"I own just about everything John Coltrane ever recorded. The thing is I could listen to Giant Steps and A Love Supreme over and over again and enjoy it. When I sit down for a lis... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another bit to chew on:Bruce Lundvall: I remember years ago, Roy Eldridge did a blindfold test, one of Leonard Feather’s for Down Beat. And Roy started off by saying, “I can tell. I can always tell if the musician is black or white.” He was wr... |
