Jazz - What's your bag, man?

[Ivor]

I was jazzing it up myself. (That sounds wrong).
Anyway, I picked this up recently on vinyl in Tower and it's a cracker. For me it doesn't really come to life until side 2 but I'm young, I have time to learn to love side 1.

All day just JAZZ

Yer a wise man.

I have that set on a double and a single LP collection from the late seventies, it's gorgeous. It was released after Paul died. Enjoy.

This cold evening I'm spinning Paul Desmond again :)
On the list :



And bottle of wine ochhhhhhhhhhh ears full of music :-)

The VJO's tribute to Julie Cavadini:

[DancingPriest]

I caught these on lyric FM once and thought they were brilliant. Apparently, they were a street band but made the big time with this album, which was nominated for the 2008 Mercury prize. They use the alto sax a lot (sounding almost like a clarinet) and instruments called "hang drums" - a swiss invention which sounds like a carribean steel drum.

Portico Quartet - Knee deep in the North Sea:

Cheers for the heads up guys, I'm thoroughly engrossed in the both of these!
I'm feckin loving Spotify!

Virtuoso bassist Avishai Cohen has played with Chick Corea, "At Home" recorded in 2004 is his second solo offering.
This CD is in a similar vein to The Bad Plus or EST but with an eastern tinge bringing intensity and sincerity and a very good recording to boot.
I've had this on in the background for the last few days and it has grown on me to the point where I sat to listen. Other than skipping track one (maybe I need more time to appreciate this one) this is a cracking offering.
Some of the best inter-weaving between Bass and Drums I've come across in quite a while, power with control.

Its a great recording alright Seán. Strangely this was the recording that opened the door for me to Miles. A Kind of Blue I didnt quite warm to much.

Then you obviously enjoy his work with Gil Evans so you might want to get a copy of Porgy and Bess if you don't already have it. I first listened to Kind of Blue when I was 19 years old and I was smitten, I love it.
