Nothing but jazz...

Detroit International Jazz Festival

Attended the Detroit Jazz Festival this evening and drove in specifically to hear Vijay Iyer. Prior to his show, who do I bump into? Yes, I met Mr. Iyer while looking for a seat.

Segment for Sentiment / Galang

An outstanding concert
 
I'm kickin' it old-school tonight: Criss Cross by Thelonious Monk. What an incredible album. Still sounds fresh nearly 50 years later.
 
Now and then

Earlier, in a lighter mood, it was Miles' "Love for Sale" from Circle in the Round; the Savoy years.
Miles there with Coltrane and Cannonball. Master and young journeyman at that point. Beautiful dialogue. And miles so strong at that time.
There are phrases in there that make my hair stand up.

Now it's late and it's 'Trane again, this time wrapping himself around Johnny Hartman's butterscotch voice. I never, ever tire of this album. Those two were made for each other.
 
Thanks for sharing...

You obviously have your Masters or maybe your Doctorate in JAZZ, and your description made my arm hair stand up as I remembered the Kings of JAZZ... But I feel it would be wrong not to include the contributions of these additional GREATS!!

Autumn Leaves - Chet Baker & Paul Desmond Together
 
Great stuff

Ace, thanx for the kind words, but no, all my education's been through my ears over the years. I've been a jazz fan since I was in high school, back in the days of doo wop and R&B.
Late night L.A. radio with Hunter Hancock and Johnny Otis. Wolfman Jack boomin' up out of Mexico on 50,000 watts.

And thanks to both you and the Jibster for those Desmond duets. As it happens, I have both those albums. (On vinyl, of course.)

Desmond was so unique. Just for shits and giggles sometime, play "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and try to follow him through a chorus by just whistling along. Betcha can't do it. He used an esoteric breathing technique, but I can't recall what it's called at the moment.

I was just on another thread about favorite blues songs, and someone there mentioned a Nina Simone tune. That has me listening now to my all time favorite arrangement by her, "Love me or leave me." Besides the deep velvet voice the lady had, her piano work is truly tasty as well.

This is a nice thread. Thanks to the OP and all the fans.

Wow. The Ace does it again.

Cool as it wanna be. That was some badass guitar, and not a bad scat. Is he Bucky's son, by chance?

And that's the first time I've seen or heard the lady, but she's great.

Now I think I'm gonna bounce back up the thread to "Naima," and let that take me into the land of nod. It's one of those that tend to bring out the ghosts on a night like this.
 
Sooo cool

Alright Ace.
Thanx for the OPT. I used to rely on the old trio with Ed Thigpen & Ray Brown to keep my head on straight, or what passed for it, in the green world so long, long ago and far, far away.

Here's one that just drips cool. Done on a date at the Village Gate, but it's just so west coast. One of my all time classics.

And here's another one that just won't let you sit down.
