Wynton Marsalis -- MARSALIS PLAYS MONK-STANDARD TIME VOL.4 I think we can all agree that no-one can play Monk like Monk could. Having said that, this is a very enjoyable outing. The recorded sound is a big improvement over the Monk-era sound and the players are very capable. A lot of lesser known / played Monk tunes are included. Great arrangements by Wynton Marsalis. Where would Jazz be today without this man! 'Brilliant Corners' has never sounded as Brilliant! Nice trombone playing throughout by Wycliffe Gordon. check it out! Cheers |
Today's Gem: Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt jackson -- VERY TALL The first time Oscar and Jackson recorded together. The Vibraphone and the Piano make a very good pairing. Wonderful and unique sound. Six Tunes. All excellent. Includes 'on green dolphin street',(for some reason I love that title) 'work song', and 'john brown's body'. Awesome interplay between Oscar and Jackson on 'work song'. I felt there was a lot of good natured 'head cutting' going on between the two throughout the entire set. All performance were Five Star. Jackson seems to be a different player once he is away from MJQ, or more to the point, away from John Lewis. When the Good Lord said BOP!, Lewis thought he siad BACH!, And away he went. Awesome set. Everyone has to have it. Case Closed! Cheers |
Rok, it's amazing how much we agree; I just got a HD Download of the MJQ, to replace a scratched 2 LP set, and even that didn't help. Milt Jackson "Bags" on the other hand can do no wrong, I think you've identified the problem. "On Green Dolphin Street" is also one of my favorite tunes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbHCrFvzwG0 Enjoy the music. |
