Make a Jazz Noise Here

Actually, I was thumbing through my Woody Shaw collection and found some striking omissions, so I quickly rectified that:

Now listening:



One of the great Hutcherson albums.

John
I do not have one particular favorite.  I have many.... Of those you listed above, I like "For Sure" the best.  A few I listen to more than others.
Moontrane
Love Dance
Stepping Stones
Rosewood
Blackstone Legacy
Song of Songs
Solid
I also like the album he did with Freddie Hubbard "Double Take"
On another note about underrated players. I nominate Benny Golson... solo and with the Jazztet

Cool, Robert. Some of these Shaw recordings I know I have and some of them are just too expensive. I paid too much for Lotus Flower as it is ($16 ), but I really wanted the album as I sampled it via Naxos and loved it.

It's interesting you mention Benny Golson, because a few days ago I highly recommended him to Bogey (Bill). I told him to start with the album Gone With Golson.

Now:



One of the finest jazz albums of all-time. Miles at the height of his powers.

I’m currently enjoying the complete Overseas Sessions with Tommy Flanagan and his trio. I love his robust direct playing and his use of rests.

Because of listening to Anthony Hill I have discovered Kenny Durham’s Quiet Kenny record, it’s amazing!

[Leo K.]

Start with Miles Davis Bitches Brew.... Maupin  has four fabulous discs....

Man, I know Bitches Brew but it slipped my mind Maupin was on it!

Love Tommy Flanagan. Great pianist. Quiet Kenny is also a fine record and is one of my favorites from Durham. Did you ever check out any Blue Mitchell? He's got a few good albums on Blue Note and I believe Riverside.

I own all of these. I Remember Miles, Tenor Legacy, One Day Forever were later recordings that I need to revisit at some point.

Now listening:

Just bought:

[Gold Knight]

The Cannonball Adderley Sextet In New York.  Man, could Zawinul tickle those ivories. I'm almost liking him as much as Bobby Timmons!

You should definitely checkout this recording:



One of Cannonball's best IMHO.

[Bogey]

Benny Golson lends a hand on this vinyl I am spinning.  He arranged and conducted the orchestra.:



I love jazz organ, but have little....my wife cannot stand it.  Then again she thinks everyone after Beethoven in the classical realm is not for her.

Heck, buy that one for the pic on the cover alone.

Some great stuff showing up on this thread here lately!  Those Oliver Nelson things are great; as is the Cannonball recording. I like this thread for suggesting great things to listen to.

I've been listening to the Miles Live in Europe 1967 set that just arrived and drawing distinctions with the same band two years prior of the Live at the Plugged Nickle box.  The 1967 band was clearly farther along in their style and the set list contains more originals than standards, although they do still play some of the same songs.  By 1967 the sound had become more abstracted with the form of the song essentially disappearing.  If you were to come in during the middle of a familiar tune like Autumn Leaves with this 1967 band I doubt you would be able to guess what they were playing.

That said - this is some mighty fine jazz and a set I will undoubtedly listen to many more times.  One huge plus is the DVD of two concerts.

I was hoping that the set would be a dog, .....guess I will have to spring for it.

I'm not a big jazz organ fan either, but I do own a few Jimmy Smith albums and Johnny Griffin did an album with an organ trio. I think Jack McDuff was the orgainist on that Griffin session.

Very cool. I recently bought that Davis Live in Europe box set but have yet to listen to any of it. Good to hear it's a good one. Haven't been listening to much jazz today as classical has taken up most of my listening time and still is as we speak.
