What jazz have you been listening to today?

[White Knight]

"Ping-pong" and "Moanin'" from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Doesn't get much better than that as far as I'm concerned. :clap::tiphat:

 

[gord]

hi steve, dont know when the teagarden video was made, but from the way teagarden looks, i would say mid 40s. the drummer is ray bauduc, the rest i have no idea. gord

 

[gord]

coleman hawkins-hollywood stampede- capitol lp. classic mainstream jazz from 1945-6. gord

 

[Corno Dolce]

Sing, Sing, Sing.............Benny Goodman

 

[OLDUDE]

Buddy Tate playing separately with Humph and Ruby Braff -great music.

I dont know if I've been missed but it must be 2-3 weeks since I posted. The reason is that my computer went down and after a prolonged effort to recover it i have been forced to write it off and purchase a new one (as of yesterday). It's a nightmare - I still need to try and recover the data on my hard drive and who says that Windows 7 is an improvement on Vista (my previous system).
Furthermore if I cant restore my iTunes data thats about 250 CDs I have to re-enter before continuing with the rest of my collection. Still my new iPod is behaving well and I have a new dock to charge it and listen.

Cheers for now John

[White Knight]

Wrapped up the evening with John Coltrane: Trane's Blues.

 

[gord]

[gord]

The album Free For All by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers

 

[gord]

umo jazz orchestra-electrifying miles- a records.this is a weird cd,hard to explain. the best i can do, if you take the stan kenton orchestra, remove his rhythm section and replace them with miles davis bitches brew band you just about got it. a large big band with a way out rock rhythm. i didnt like it at first, then it started too grow on me. now i find it fascinating. i will put on a buck clayton album next and come back to earth. gord

 

[JHC]

Gord thanks for the link, do you know the personnel by any chance?
in the end you can't beat a good tune which enforces my view on anticipation :cheers: off for another beer now:grin:

 

[gord]
