I am listening to the Monk ones already via the Autorip / Cloud. I like that a lot !! 

Goes to look at it on Amazon.

Blinks at price. 

Orders it before I-Deals changes their mind! (Although it's also ridiculously cheap from ImportCDs.)

Moon Water

Meditative moods dominate Moon Water (Stunt), by the cooperative Danish/Norwegian/French trio of Carsten Dahl, Arild Andersen and Patrice Heral. But Moon Water is lit with quiet fires of energy that come from its attitude of in-the-moment openness. Four of the 12 pieces appear to be spontaneous group improvisations, but the eight originals by band members also feel freely discovered in real time.

As a pianist, Dahl sustains the album's rapt spell even as his tones and intensities and velocities vary, from the delicately traced melodicism of his own "Hymne" to the sweeps and flurries of "Rush Brush." Throughout, bassist Andersen again demonstrates that he is one of the most poignant storytellers in jazz on his instrument. An unusual feature of Moon Water is the selective application of electronics and wordless vocals, mostly the work of drummer Heral. These sounds are never intrusive, always belong and subtly shift the traditional tonal palette of the piano trio. ~ Jazz Times

A very good band: as a bass player I was impressed with the sound his bassist got from the electric upright.    I thought they built the sections of the collective soloing very well, sounds like they have been playing together for a while.

Thanks for posting the clip.

Thank you!

Just spoke with Chris yesterday; he's trying to get a CD produced.

By all the Gods I have decided to listen to some Jazz!      This is because I had an interesting experience whilst walking through Glasgow city center last week.  It was twilight, the city was still busy, and from somewhere nearby I could hear a saxophone playing with a jazz band somewhere - the smell of cars, fast food, the noise of a City waking up to greet the oncoming night, and that soulful sax drenched the air around, but only for a short time as it was left behind - I was on my way somewhere else.  BUT in that one singular experience I kind of discovered what it was to be attracted by Jazz, I loved the combination of city and soul in a music that just for an instant surrounded me and made me feel good and interested in what was going on...a jazz satori.
Ok, I have to listen on YouTube for the time being until I get some Jazz music, though I do have some underplayed T Monk.  So for a wee while I'll be hitting the following:

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Moanin' - This is the 'kind' of Jazz I heard playing.
Various by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Monk .
I am finding jazz and I am liking it.  Now I know what a difference such music can make to a mood or atmosphere or a general sense of 'something' - it is music for a thinking, living person, it's fluid, not the brickwork I've always thought it was.

Entertaining and fabulously interesting exploration is going on.  Now playing:

Miles Davis - Birth of the Cool

John, that's a fine record. Miles in top form.

Cecil McBee is great on these two albums.

Yes,  I started to get into jazz only in the last couple of months.  I'm finding that at the moment at least,  I'm most attuned to the quartet sound of the fifties and early sixties, less so what came before or after it.  Have a small heap of Monk (10 or 12 CDs),  not a little of Davis and Brubeck, and couple of others (Ellington/Armstrong, Rollins, Coltrane).  To my ears, the earlier Davis is much better than the later Davis.  Once I've assimilated the current holdings better,  I'll start to explore more contemporary musicians.

And make sure at some point you get the AfroCuban All Stars--not precisely jazz,  but a whole of bunch of Latin styles in which jazz plays a part.

Nice album. Reminds me of the 1960s Art Blakey and Jazz Messengers music, but with a heavier dose of African grooves.

1959 was a important year in jazz.  At least four incredible albums came out that year:

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck: Time Out
Charles Mingus: Mingus Ah Um
Ornette Coleman: The Shape of Jazz to Come

This video does a good job of covering these albums.

Great times indeed, also these two:

Bill Evans: Portrait in Jazz

Great band led by a somewhat under-recorded trombonist and one of the first appearances on vinyl by Tony Williams.

This is to introduce my latest CD's worth of restored 78s. The selection includes some stunning tracks, here are a few to whet your appetite:

Louis Armstrong's "Knockin' a Jug" with a washboard being played very close to the mike!

Earl Hines' amazing solo "Fifty Seven Varieties" which has a few bars toward the end where he seems to be using a rapid crossed hand technique.

Three tracks from Horace Henderson's Orchestra with Henry "Red" Allen, Dicky Wells and Benny Carter.

Teddy Wilson's immaculate piano on the "Chocolate Dandies" tracks.

Garland Wilson's solo piano beautifully recorded in Paris.

Six years before the famous track "Body and Soul" , Coleman Hawkins gives a rhapsodic reading of "It Sends Me" with Buck Washington on piano.

Buck Washington, again, with Frankie Newton, Choo Berry and Jack Teagarden are the backing group for four sides from Bessie Smith

These are all to be found under the heading Jazz.....8 on this page of my site
