Some time ago I have posted few links about ECM editions beeing out of phase. I have very few albums of that label, but this one fits the description. When I switched the wires on my speakers I found out that it sounds better (in phase) If you have it, you may check it as well.
Keith Jarret trio, live in Paris 1999 (could not find it on ytube)
Also, not on ECM, but this, my only, Diana Krall album fits the description
|
Just recently I played this cd again, to check the position of my speakers. There is interesting track, nothing new, but it turned my attention to some of the albums that I have...

Same here! Happy New Year to you too, ac!

Hello Mary_jo, glad your doing well!, and always good to hear from you! Happy New Year!
|
Thank you, pjw! Well, it has been a while, true...
Many thanks for your suggestions, will gladly take a look! :)
(waving)

@mary_jo Hello Marija welcome back and Happy New Year!! I wish you all the best and much happiness in 2024!
I have to say your first post in many many months (a year?) is a really great song by a great band (I had the privilege of seeing this exact band live).
A suggestion for you is this 2005 Live at Smoke (another of my NYC hangouts) album by Eric Alexander and Vincent Herring
And here they are over 15 years after that live recording session playing the same song at Emmet Cohen's NYC Jazz Loft.
Eric and Vincent like playing together! And they like playing "Blues Up and Down"
|
Dear all...I am happy to see you enjoying good music as always.
Just dropped by to say warm hello (waving) :--)
May the coming year be a time of renewal, growth, and prosperity...
For you

Having motivation problems this morning and am quietly listening to Paul Moer, The Contemporary Classics Of The Paul Moer Trio.
|
Thanks... Beautiful!😊
@mahgister-Close enough, for sure.
Stephane Wrembel tours extensively. Every year he hosts a "Django-fest" in the NYC area. You may recognize the song from Woody Allen's, "Midnight in Paris."

I was lucky to catch Les in concert in '76.
He was a master at blending Saturday night and Sunday morning -- a supremely soulful artist and a dynamic performer.
@curiousjim
This is the first performance by him I like. He's actually phrasing! Who knew?

We Audiophiles will always have "Swiss Movement".
Happy Listening!

@jafant -
RIP. An excerpt form a Les McCann obit
"Les McCann, a jazz pianist and vocalist who was an early progenitor of the bluesy, crowd-pleasing style that came to be known as soul jazz, and who, although he released more than 50 albums, was best known for a happenstance hit from 1969, died on Friday in Los Angeles. He was 88."
Another excerpt-"His family was a musical one; he, his four younger brothers and his sister all sang in the Shiloh Baptist Church choir. "
The influence of church choirs and sacred music once again plays a role in a jazz musician's development.

I will go for it too...Thanks ...
Wharfy, that set of Art Pepper records are magic.
|
Not the original but close enough ...
|
Happy New Year everybody!
Stuartk and Pjw, thanks for the Ow recommendation.
I will listen to it tonight and get back to you.
Wharfy, that set of Art Pepper records are magic.

"By any chance did you get the new (2020 release) release of the 2 of them live at The Penthouse in 1962 titled OW! on vinyl? I purchased the CD the day it came out. The sonics on the CD are very good."
I just purchased Ow! at my local CD re-saler. PB&J, indeed.
Anyone want any Art Pepper with their New Years Day brunch? Pepper is playing with George Cables on piano, George Mraz and Elvin Jones on drums.

Johnny Griffin on fire at the Village Vanguard! Around 1 minute in Grif plays a blistering solo that sounds like 16 notes per second!!
|
Happy New Year!
@acman3 Great "Lockjaw" selections. I like that live rendition of I'll Remember April a lot. Really swings. And Lock and Johnny Griffin always sound great in all of their "tenor battle" recordings. Them 2 went together like peanut butter and jelly! Lock was also known for his "edgy/gruff" tone.

Happy New Year!
Explosive detonations around our neighborhood were, for a change, mercifully confined to a merely a half hour or so. Good thing, as the quantity and intensity was way up from last year. 💣

@pjw81563 -Love Illinois Jacquet's rendition! Thanks for sharing. Jo Jones' drumming sounds like the IRT going over the 125th St subway bridge, late at night.
Danny Gatton is under appreciated.
|
|
More "Harlem Nocturne" - Booker Ervin:
|
|
|
And here is a favorite tenor of mine who's tone always sounds "edgy" or "gruff" but I really like a lot of Willis Jackson's recording sessions especially all of the sessions with a very young Pat Martino on the guitar. Pat's solo starts at 4:40 and even then, as young as he was (I think he was 17 on this session but not sure), you can hear the virtuosity in his playing. I saw Pat live at Birdland in NYC a couple years before he passed and I am so glad I went to that show.

@wharfy
That Viscounts rendition of Harlem Nocturn is new to me. Definitely a "gritty tone" on the sax. This is my "go to" rendition of the same tune. But then again I am mesmerized by almost anything Illinois Jacquet blows and the brief but mesmerizing trumpet solo by Roy Eldridge just makes this version that much better
That said, there are hundreds of renditions of Harlem Nocturn on record for us all to enjoy thanks to Earle Hagen. Here is Telecaster master Danny Gatton's rendition.
|
@pjw81563 -that is interesting. I do like Jimmy Forest's grittier version. I didn't know there were so many to choose from :-) Forest's saxophone reminds me of the sax on this song-

@wharfy
I am big fan of Joey DeFrancesco as are a few others here. I believe there was a discussion about JD a few months ago.
I never got a chance to see JD before he passed on last year and this is a regret.
I have a copy of that Christian McBride Big Band CD and the bands rendition of Night Train is awesome as is the rest of the album.
Interesting story of the origins of the song Night Train, of which jazz and R&B tenor sax great Jimmy Forrest made famous in 1951 with his signature solo over the 3 minute long groove head laid down by the rhythm section.

Thanks i did not know this one...
I had many albums of Joey DeFrancesco ...😁
Not this one ...
I will go for it...
Speaking of Hammond B3 players, is anyone familiar with Joey DeFrancesco?
On this song, Joey has a wonderful solo starting at 2:52.
And the rest of the musicians are awesome, too!
|
I’ve had a note laying around that I just found and all it said was “Egil Kapstad”. And when I looked him up, to my pleasant surprise, I found a couple of wonderful albums, Remembrance, Cherokee and a few not so wonderful albums! There is one other album I liked, Live At Molde Jazz. A solo album that’s well recorded.

@pjw81563 -Smith's Foxy Lady is terrific. Thanks for sharing!
@mahgister -Love the fat tone of a Hammond B3, also.
Because of the posthumous CD /record releases, I find Hendrix's music inconsistent. Up to Band of Gypsys, when Hendrix is good, he's really good. The guitar solo from "Machine Gun" is incredible.
|
I like Lonnie Smith ...
But i must confess i like too much Hammond organ ...
I dont know why ...
It is illogical ...I could not discover why ...I can even discover many reasons why i must not like it so much ...
But love and reasons dont partake the same house and dont have much to say to each other save acknowledging each other ...
😊
What strike me when i was 15 years old with the first Hendrix albums was the complete innovative sound and creative experience as no one ever seen before...No showmanship artificial, just a true guitar poet ...At this time i was listening mostly Bach and Choral music then i was not an easy customer ... 😁
|
In 1994, Hammond B3 master, The late Dr. Lonnie Smith, of whom I had the privilege of seeing live 10 plus times before he passed on 2 years ago, released 2 albums in 1994 comprised of studio improvisations on popular Jimi Hendrix songs.
The albums are titled Purple Haze and Foxy Lady. John Abercrombie on guitar and Marvin "Smitty" Smith drums
|
@wharfy
I have difficulty imagining Hendrix moving into harmonic territory that could accurately be described as Jazz but who knows? If I recall correctly, there was at least one session done with horns and he and Evans has spoken about a collaboration but I think it more likely that any additional harmonic complexity would’ve come from Evans in such a scenario.
|
More Gil Evans. Just came across this recently:
|
Kenny Burrell + Gil Evans:
|
@curiousjim -Thank you. I have "The Individualism..." look at THAT band!
I'll give your recommendation a listen.
@acman3 -Going to give your recommendation a listen, also.
Just throwing this question out here-if Hendrix had lived, would he have evolved into a jazz-rock musician?
