| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I actually just finished the Guide To Jazz Recordings and I wrote a copious amount of notes. Now you can move on to The All Music Guide to Jazz, which includes out-of-print releases not included in the Penguin! ;o) Yes, there is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Listened to a lot of the late great Wayne Shorter last night. The album Speak No Evil is probably his best overall session. "Speak No Evil", "JuJu", "Night Dreamer", "Adam’s Apple" and "Etcetera" please me equally. "The All Seeing ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Yes ; I'm familiar with this live Quintet recording. I heard it when it was first released but at the time it did not seem as strong to me as one particular night's performance I'd witnessed with my wife at Yoshi's, hence I've never o... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mahgister No one go on the same road to the same house... You are right about that... ...And a house may have many entrances ;o) | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @laoman I don’t believe all music is of equal artistic merit but the OP stated from the outset that this was to be "just for fun". Enough said. | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mofimadness Wait... "no box sets" ? How did I miss that? ! ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Thanks -- I discovered that, too! | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @laoman There might be 5 or 6 on your list I would want. ... and there might be none on your list that I would want. For example, the sound of a classically trained voice is like fingernails on a blackboard, to my ears/brain. How would this ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister RE: Jan Johansson: yes; very relaxing. Interesting style -- don’t think I’ve come across anything similar, before. I'm intrigued. @curiousjim Butman, back atcha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hK2MUffAWU I’ll have to see if I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What about Jerry Bergonzi ? I especially like "Tenor of the Times" . The whole album isn't on youtube but here are a couple tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ7vr4TODcI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcIO2qqd2sk | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Butman is a new name to me... Potentially embarrassing name "but man", can he play! Sorry for the adolescent humor. I'm listening to "Reflections" co-led with Conrad Herwig, as I was drawn by the personnel -- Sipiagin, Kikoski, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Stitt recorded an awful lot but only a small fraction of his output has been available on CD, so I haven’t actually heard that much of it. "And the New Yorkers" is my favorite of those I’ve heard. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You read it straight through, cover-to-cover ? ! That's impressive. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim , @mahgister You guys know this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4NlSEkQIU0 ... or this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZa0SXo57p8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I prefer to recommend here less known name who are great...😊 That makes sense ! I like Sipiagin’s playing enough to check out his work as a leader. Don't know why I haven't done so, already. I just looked at his All Music list... |
