mickj1 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi I finally managed to pick up a copy of Art Blakey's 'free for all' - it's everything Jimdgoulding says it is - Blakey in top form pushing the musos along - W. Shorter and F. Hubbard positively sing, and I've never heard Curtis Fuller and Cedar Walton sound this good. The RVG remaster gives excellent SQ. I think you'd be very wary of relaxing on the job with Blakey this much on form pushing you along - I was going to write playing underneath - but that's a most inapt description of what he does! -Thanks Jim . I also picked up Stephane Grappelli and Yo-Yo Ma's Anything goes recorded in 1989 - nice enough but pretty bland after the Blakey set. The two of them are almost upstaged by Roger Kellaway's piano playing in places - but given SG's age (81) and that Ma's not playing his usual musical genre I guess that's almost to be expected.

Hi scuzzi, I bought this album last week (along with Patricia Barber, 'Verse', strange, - but compelling) and am getting to enjoy it more each play. Trouble is, I love, Joni Mitchells Blue and her wonderful, inimitable voice, so find it hard not to compare, unfavourably. Especially Corrine B R. on the title track, otherwise excellent.

Sentient Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Currently spinning - Jacintha , Lush Life I have to say, most Jazz artists/albums take time for me to "bond" to. But Jacintha is very easy on the ears, and takes no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmie Grimmie, that is understandable. I've not heard much Joni Mitchell and that could have possibly contributed to my instant liking of this recording. Had I already been enamored with Joni, might have been a different story. I really like Tina Turner's songs on her. Good to see/hear her back.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickj1 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi Been playing the 2 CD compilation of the entire Curtis Counce catalog. An excellent bunch of W Coast musos from the late fifties, with C Counce bass, Carl Perkins (No not the blue suede shoes one!) on piano, Jack Sheldon Tpt, Harold Land on tenor sax and Frank Butler on drums - a really cohesive group - grab this if you see it around. The original cover of their LP - 'you get more bounce with Curtis Counce' - is worth the price of admission just for the kitsch value - If I knew how I'd post it here for your edification, but maybe you can google it...

jimdgoulding Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Nik Bartsch's Ronin- Holon (ECM). Charles Lloyd (with the best group he has ever fielded)- Voice in the Night (ECM). Not a big fan of this dude, usually. He's too precocious to me but he cooks on Homage, a tribute to Coltrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Glad you like it - It's a great DVD - in terms of SQ and PQ it's probably better than Casino Lights and One Night at Blue Note - and nearly there also in jazz musicality!

mickj1 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Been playing: Full Circle - 2 CD set with Howard alden /Jimmy Bruno gtrs on first CD recorded 1998, celebrating 25 years of Concord Jazz, with Herb Ellis/Joe Pass on 2nd CD recorded 1973 - Concord's first ever release. Nice laid back guitar interplay on both. Also John Coltrane/Duke Ellington on Impulse - it doesn't get much better than listening to them playing 'In a sentimental mood' at this time of night with a glass of good red - especially Tas Pinot.
