What Jazz are you listening to now?

Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron - Ballads (2006)

[Bogey]

Some great listening of late, folks.  This thread is becoming my favorite one to visit on this site.  Two of recent listening:

From 1956 with the likes of Coltrane, Donald Byrd, Horace Silver.  Decent enough, but I am still warming to this one.



Live from L.A. (1963).  This one almost has a Vince Guaraldi sound to it.  A really enjoyable album.

My favorite Errol Garner record (Gems--Columbia LP)

Thanks for the vinyl shot. Always cool. Might you take a quick shot of the actual record.  Would like to see the label.

Kind of goes with the Evans recording above.

Ran Blake - All That Is Tied (2006)



Miles Davis - Miles! Miles! Miles! (rec.1981 rel.1992)

Wayne Shorter's inspiration
Wayne Shorter talks about drawing his inspiration from a range of musicians - from Mozart to Art Tatum. The saxophonist then reminisces about working with Miles Davis, putting together Native Dancer with Milton Nascimento and his time in Weather Report. He also talks about making his latest album Without A Net, his first for the Blue Note label since 1970.

Working my way chronologically through Holdsworth's solo discography with his first, I.O.U. -

Doing the same here, starting my morning with Secrets right now .. I.O.U. has a lot of really great stuff on it, the hallmarks are all there. You'll notice that with just about any guitarist out there .. you can hear their influences, not really the case with Allan Holdsworth .. and that is really rare, he sounds like no one else. He was truly original & innovative. I always feel in a sense privileged to have come into contact with his beautiful thing, an ear & mind opener! An epiphany for me as a guitar player!

Oh yes, Holdsworth had an original conception of the guitar and no one will ever sound like him. I always hate it when guitarists try to emulate him because it just makes them come off as half-hearted and simply not believable. Holdsworth came out swinging and he died swinging. A total singular voice for sure, which is no easy feat for a guitarist.
