Hank Mobley – Soul Station (The Rudy Van Gelder Edition)

Hank Mobley – Roll Call (Rudy Van Gelder Edition)

Too much hard bop. Art Blakey really does my head in, so let's go for a complete antidote to grandstanding percussionists:

Wolfgang Muthspiel - Drumfree

WKB

Treasure trove:

All beautiful but I especially love track 13 "Woman" by Pierro Piccioni.

Just started playing this for the first time, so no thoughts on it musically. But it is fascinating to hear a gig from the Alphonso Johnson/Chester Thompson version of the band.

I saw them live for the first time the following year with Jaco Pastorius and Peter Erskine. 

Edit: The music on Live in Berlin sounds great on first listen. I've only listened to it on the office system, but the recording quality seems unexceptional.

So how about some more WR from around that period?

How can such gentle music be about motor scooters? 

:-S

Do you notice a pattern in what I'm listening to this afternoon?

Gromit

Grimethorpe Colliery Band/Elgar Howarth - The History of Brass Band Music (the SA connection).

Playing it through the Young, very nice presentation of a phenomenal album, for the 1st time the album sounds right!

Docfoster

Ashanti Waugh – Babylon Wrong



P.S. I'm on my 5th consecutive listen...

Cassandra Wilson - Traveling Miles

What a voice!

Lovely voice. A mate and I sampled a tiny bit of it for one of our efforts back in the 90s...
(Blink it and you'll miss her.)

I don't know that track, but I'm starting the day with the whole compilation :-)

I really need to get some more roots and dub reggae.

Worth a listen, if only for the strange version of The Girl from Ipanema. Imagine, Archie Shepp going bossa nova 

:O

There she is! Between about a minute and a minute 20, then a few times later after I switched to another tab.

Can't figure out the track though.

Jackie McLean – New And Old Gospel

What a stunner of an album! I've just ordered a CD copy.

The Jazz Police don't like 'em, but I have a soft spot for the Lizards.

uglymusic

Can you guess what's next?

uglymusic

There is he is. The great man. Testament to the jazz lifestyle.

Was:

Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost Disc 1.

Now:

Really getting to like this. Jim Black's drumming, in particular, is great; holds the whole thing together a lot of the time.

Alan

'Oh My Darling', by Basia Bulat.

I know some of you are into prog rock. 

Have you tried Jim Black's Alas No Axis albums? Here's the first:

Jim Black – AlasNoAxis

Too rocky for the Jazz Police, but maybe too avant for the rock crowd? I don't know even if it's really post-rock rather than prog. You tell me.

dan2606

Johnny Cash - Blue Train 24bit

Pink Floyd - The Wall

REM- Green

Radiohead- King Of Limbs

 

Lee

In A silent Way - Miles Davis, very psychedelic sounding

Alan

Fire & water - Free. Hell yeah....

Live & acoustic 2001 ( from java joes ) - Jason Mraz. Surprisingly superb!

The Carpenters via a WFS DAC2, Leben CS300XS and Lenehan ML1 Plus R's.  Simply entrancing.

Thanks

Last night:



All with the snooker on mute!

And finally:


 - what dross! An utter disappointment, spoken as a fan.

Monty

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Paper Airplane 

Nice...... 

Alan

Ah - the new one! How nice?

bhobba

Eagles Greatest Hits - DCC.  Quality recording plus.

Thanks

Bill 

Monty

Ah - the new one! How nice?

Short, but perfectly formed. Worth a purchase.....

Alan

Yes, but I meant the album, not Alison...

uglymusic

More ECM than Don Cherry. Not one of his best, TBH.

uglymusic

William Elliott Whitmore – Animals In The Dark

I'm not sure if I like it enough to buy a copy. Good, but not quite there...

uglymusic

Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

First play of the new album. I like the first one, so a few hopes ;-)

Lee

Coltrane - A Love Supreme

Gents we are now talking a seriously good album
