What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Henk]

Another spin

[Henk]

Just read a (short and) nice interview with him in Downbeat about his music. So, that was the cause to play this. It's from 2009.

Chet Baker: I Get Chet.

[NikF]

Gerry Mulligan Quartet: At Storyville.

[asin]B000005HG1[/asin]

Perhaps something of a mixed affair, but it's 1950s era Mulligan and so I'm happy to listen.

[Henk]

Very fine playing by Strickland.

[NikF]

Lou Mecca, Bill De Arango, Chuck Wayne: 3 Swinging Guitar Sessions.

[asin]B011VX0J64[/asin]

For the Chuck Wayne, although I enjoy it all.

[kishnevi]

Double header. New release followed by classic Dixieland


Only real problem with the Cohen is the fairly skimpy playing time, less than 40 minutes.

[SimonNZ]

Keely Smith - I Wish You Love (1958)

[NikF]

Jimmy Raney: In Three Attitudes.

Wonderful 

[kishnevi]

Wonderful 

They did turn When the Saints Come Marching In into something like a Broadway production number, but I suppose that comes with the territory. But that was the only missable track .

First spin.

Good stuff.
But what are your own thoughts after the initial listen?


Meanwhile, back in my small world -

Julie London: Around Midnight.

Classy, fun stuff. I've yet to hear an Ellington tune I didn't like.

Glad to hear it.
Yeah, there's not much Ellington I don't enjoy. Maybe the third sacred concert - don't know if you've heard that - although his bands are always so good they can make just about anything a worthwhile listen.

[SimonNZ]

Quincy Jones - The Lost Man soundtrack (1969)
John Lindberg - Winter Birds (2004)

[SimonNZ]

Bud Shank - Jazz At Cal-Tech (1956)
Wynton Marsalis - He And She (2009)

[NikF]

Bill Evans: Waltz for Debby.

[asin]B003YOMN68[/asin]

Ol' Mirror Image has this posted in another thread and right now in the early morning is as fine a time as any to make a comfortable revisit.

[NikF]

Sarah Vaughan: Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown.

[asin]B0000046NB[/asin]

After a very late breakfast I'm lazily listening to the this cool collaboration.

One of my favorite Jazz albums!
