Nothing but jazz...

The Queen comes in the night

Here's a classic I was playing in the car on the way home earlier.

Unbelievably hot dialogue between Clark Terry, Clifford Brown and what would have been a young Maynard Ferguson.
Dinah at the top of her game sets it all up and then comes back in for a final chorus that blew the roof off.

The whole album is great stuff, and it's called "Dinah Jams" if you can find it.

Nobody blows like this anymore.

Indo-Jazz Fusions

The greats Joe Harriott and John Mayer :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffk9xceJnnU&feature=colike

Joe Harriott-John Mayer Double Quintet: Joe Harriott (alto saxophone); John Mayer (violin, harpsichord); Shake Keane (trumpet, flugelhorn); Chris Taylor (flute); Pat Smythe (piano); Diwan Motihar (sitar); Chandrahas Paigankar (tambura); Coleridge Goode (bass); Alan Ganley (drums); Keshav Sathe (tabla).

The compilers of this CD wisely resisted dubbing it "Ragas and Ragtime," although that would have been an apt title. Surprisingly, it's also a compatible mix that finds saxophonist Joe Harriott and violinist John Mayer's unique fusion of styles in the same jewel case as Jazz at Jazz Ltd.'s traditional jazz virtuosity. The double quintet on 1967's Indo Jazz Fusions consists of Harriott's jazz quintet and Mayer's group of Indian instrumentalists. Little known outside of the British jazz scene, Harriott was well-regarded for his pursuit of Charlie Parker's legacy into freer terrain. That aspect, though, is downplayed on this project, where the focus is on the writing and arranging, and the possibilities available in a complete integration of the players. A product of a time when sitars and tablas were de rigueur hippie accoutrements, the set has an appealing pop sensibility, at times sounding like the music from a lost Peter Sellers movie or an episode of the Mission Impossible TV series. No mere time capsule, however, the music remains fresh, engaging, and original. Jazz at Jazz Ltd., from 1960, also transcends its stylistic era with energy and musicianship that have no room for the staid, museum treatment that Dixieland and ragtime sometimes get. The group is led by clarinettist Bill Reinhardt, whose Chicago club Jazz Ltd. was a longstanding outlet for the best players of traditional jazz. Reinhardt and the rest of the front line perform with fire and imagination, but the keys to the drive behind this music are the blues foundation provided by Max Hook's piano and the drumming of Freddie Kohlman and Doc Cenardo, who bring almost a bop feel to the rhythm section. ~ Jim Todd

Just picked up the new CD by Charlie Haden and Hank Jones, "Come Sunday", and listened to it about five times this weekend. It's a follow-up to their 1995 album "Steal Away", a sublime collection of spirituals, hymns and folk songs. This one focuses more on straight-up gospel music, but don't let that scare you away. This is American folk music at its best. I've never been a particularly religious person, but this stuff is deeply moving. Hank died just three months after this was recorded, and you can feel his humanity in every note. As the NPR reviewer says in the attached link: "His playing here is just stunningly beautiful. It's spare, but every note is radiant. He forces you to stop and pay attention. It's as if he knew this music would carry him off."

Especially today, on the MLK holiday, this music just feels right.
