Listening to ...

Monty

Jack White - Blunderbuss on vinyl

uglymusic

I think I like it. I have it on digital.

What do you make of it?

Jim

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus

My TOTD is 50s music only

uglymusic

Hmm.

I'm out today, so won't be joining in.

Jim

I'll play twice as many today then
:O

uglymusic

Ooh. Thank you. That'll save me lots of effort :-)

Jim

Sonny Rollins - Freedom Suite

1958

Jim

Ornette Coleman - The Shape Of Jazz To Come

1959

uglymusic

Good. I'll go along with those.

How about some Mingus? :-)

Jim

OK, but after Blue Train

1957

uglymusic

And, after Mingus, some Lennie Tristano, perhaps :-)

Jim

OK, but I have none.  I am Tristano light

uglymusic

Oh dear. I thought you as a Lee Konitz fan would have some. I thought it would be great contrast to the Mingus.

I don't have much Tristano and don't listen to him much, TBH.

uglymusic

Happy Apple – The Peace Between Our Companies

I hope you have your Friday morning kaftans, 'cos it's time for a bit of:

The Creator Has a Masterplan! 

Jim

Bob Dylan - Love and Theft

uglymusic

Patricia Barber - Monday Night. Recorded Live at the Green Mill

Anyone got any recommendations for Patricia Barber at her edgiest?

Alan

Mervyn

Another Elmore James fan Alan !
One of my favourite guitarists of all time. Much copied but never equalled IMHO.

Mervyn

Smack Up - Art Pepper

Jim

+1 for any Elmore from me too!!

Alan

I thoroughly enjoyed that - any suggestions for another Elmore purchase?

Now:

uglymusic

Wadada Leo Smith (one of my favourite musician's names) - Spiritual Dimensions

uglymusic

Dans Les Arbres - Dans Les Arbres 

One of ECM's more, ahem, left-field albums, I'd say ;-)

uglymusic

Jim Black's AlasNoAxis - Habyor

I wasn't convinced about Black's post-rock outfit when I first heard it, but I keep coming back to their albums.

Mervyn

Alan recommend Elmore James Complete Fire and Enjoy Sessions 3 cd set.
This is pre lp times and as a collection of singles
duplication with other CDs is inevitable.

Mervyn

Robert Nighthawk - Bricks in my Piillow
best blues guitarist period imho.

uglymusic

Robert Plant & Jimmy Page - No Quarter

Jim

Tool - 10,000 Days

Jim

Maverick Sabre - Lonely Are The Brave

uglymusic

Eh?

Jim

A new beat combo. Quite popular with the young people I hear

Jim

Kind Of Blue

uglymusic

A new beat combo. Quite popular with the young people I hear

Any good?

uglymusic

Jim

Yeah pretty good. Guy's voice reminds me of the Fine Young Cannibals from back in the day.

Jim

Lisa Stansfield - Real Love

uglymusic

Jim

Art Pepper - Roadgame

Thanks to Mervyn for putting me onto this one, it's a goodun'.

uglymusic

One of my favourite bits of Jarrett's trio. Not a Standard in sight! :-)

Jim

I must get a copy of that one...

uglymusic

It's good and ought to be available on those place mats you like :-)

Jim

You mean liquorice pizzas?
