Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Artie Shaw and his Gramercy 5: Six Star Treats.

For years I enjoyed some of the Gramercy 5 stuff, but after watching a documentary about Shaw shown via the BBC (about ten years ago?) I heard their version of 'Don't Take Your Love From Me' for the first time. As a result I bought this box set.
"You overestimate my power of attraction," he told her. "No, I don't," she replied sharply, "and neither do you".

I haven't heard the Preservation Hall Hot Four, I assume they play trad Nola jazz, which is usually enjoyable.
You assume correctly. Here's a track from the album on YouTube. Duke Dejan is the fellow singing. Recorded when he was 88 years old!

Thanks for the list. I am of course fairly new to jazz (abt. 2 years, which I guess isn't "new," but compared to classical...), so it's all still a lot of exploring what's to my taste and what isn't.  :)

Oops, forgot one! Looks like I also have Eldar Djangirov: Live at the Blue Note, with Roy Hargrove, Marco Panascia (b), and Todd Strait (d).

Whoa. I haven't heard anything by Jimmy Smith or Stanley Turrentine yet, but George Benson, Ron Carter, and Grady Tate...what a lineup.

EBERHARD WEBER AT 75

This past January marked Eberhard Weber's 75th birthday.  His recordings for ECM in the early 1970s were in large part responsible for defining the ECM sound and Euro-Jazz in general.  His style bridged jazz, classical, minimalism, chamber jazz and included some ambient elements.  He regularly recorded with other ECM artists such Gary Burton (Ring, 1974; Passengers, 1976), Ralph Towner (Solstice, 1975; Solstice/Sound and Shadows, 1977), Pat Metheny (Watercolors, 1977), and Jan Garbarek (10 recordings between 1978 and 1998).



Thanks for this post, David. I have to say my favorite recording that Weber has appeared on was Ralph Towner's seminal masterpiece Solstice. It just wouldn't have been the same without him filling out the low end.

Love "The Cats" and "Castles of Ghana"!

Here, stuff bought while in Paris in the past couple of days:

The second has Géraldine Laurent again as the sole horn ... her own new disc seems to only be released in two weeks, guess what I bought was a review copy that made its way to Gibert (the best place I know to buy jazz ... and the upper floor of the new jazz/classical store looked pretty great as far as classical is concerned, but I didn't want to spend the entire two and a half days in there).

Great music for cleaning the house, packing a bag, and knocking out stuff on the to-do list:
