Enjoy the music.

Chicago Revisited

But Not for Me

Today's Listen:  that's right, don't like it, too bad.

Ahmad Jamal -- THE LEGENDARY OKEH & EPIC RECORDINGS

I think Alex already mentioned this CD.  I am sure all you Jamal fans have it, otherwise you would not call yourselves fans.   Nice notes by Randy Weston.  He points out some of the great pianist to come out of Pittsburgh.  Erroll Garner, Mary Lou Williams and Jamal.

In the pictures of Jamal in the booklet, he looks like a teenager,  Which I guess he was not far from being in the 50's.  The best place to start with any artist, is in the beginning.  This be it.

A few from the CD.

Ain't got it, git it.

Rok, why are you only posting the albums in your collection. "You Tube" is like a library of music that they want everybody to post.

In the beginning, some artists objected when their records were posted without their permission, but after it was revealed that resulted in sales of their old records that everybody had forgotten, they no longer objected.

Since it is illegal to copy for sale, the artists are not losing anything by exposure through "You Tube"; as a matter of fact, they are gaining sales they otherwise would not have.

Please follow the script, we have already reviewed those records.


Enjoy the music.

I must admit that, like Rok, post only albums that I have.
Of course that using ytube helps a lot, to hear albums that I might like and buy, but there is one more tool that I can recommend.
In my case, its a jazz encyclopedia and there are few good editions.
There are lot of informations on internet, but if you already do not know the name of artist or performer, its much more difficult to randomly find his work
Rok, if you like 'Legendary' recordings, try the other one that I have posted,
'New chamber music', same line up, simmilar feeling
