| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, I posted this on the last page but it was overlooked. I know this is "real jazz", played by excellent musicians, and every one of them puts "emotion/feeling/soul" into their solo's. I have the album and I think its a gem.https://www.you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados John Zorn has written quite a few "mainstream jazz" arrangements played in an "accessible" manner by excellent musicians. The "Book Of Angels V12", links courtesy of acman3, is proof of that.Further proof can be found on BOA V11 featuring Medeski,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp,Great links of "newer jazz" I especially liked the song from the Grant Stewart "Plus 4" album. I will be adding that disc to my collection. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just listened to a couple more songs off of Yusef Lateef's "Live At Peps" and have already ordered volume 1 and 2 on CD.Really good music thanks Orpheus for posting "Sister Mami" as I never had heard of these live 2 volume releases before. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like Yusef Lateef as well but must admit I only have one of his recordings titled "Eastern Sounds"The "Sister Mami" song, posted by Orpheus10 was very intense. I think that live album will be my next Lateef purchase.A couple off of "Eastern Soun... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I think the Avishai Cohen concert put alex in a state of shock!Anyway I know he will be back probably he is busy doing other things besides checking this site. That gives me an idea!Just kidding I always find time for this thread no matter what I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10,I have both of those Donald Byrd albums with Duke Pearson on piano. Like you I also have none of his sessions as a leader and plan on fixing that. Big fan of Jackie Mac here. I have around 15 discs with him as a leader and to many more t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10 We were just discussing that very album by Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams a few weeks ago. And I agree the music they made on those sessions is beautiful.The lineup on the album is sensational. The only musician that I was unfamiliar with ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp Thanks for the "Its Time!" songs. I have that disc in my collection. Another fine session by Jackie Mac. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have seen "Sweet Papa" Lou Donaldson at least a half dozen times and in almost every known jazz venue in NYC.He sounded great right up into his mid - late 80's. I have not seen an announcement for him playing for about 3 -4 years now I think he ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados BTW, I have that Blakey album along with 50 something other Blakey discs. Also one of my favorites. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10 I understand what you mean about the drastic change in Miles' music and dress code. I have read a couple of his biographies and know a little about him.And your perspective is different because you were listening to him as he changed in ... |
