Jazz for aficionados
Catching cold has it’s advantages. You free yourself from every day work and you enjoy in the benefits of beautiful silence around yourself since you are voluntarily placed in some sort of quarantine. So I am sitting in my room now, with layers of clothing, it is probably warm inside but I do not feel it. Properly dressed, looking more like a polar bear on ice than human, I feel feverish and fine at the same time. My only companion, big bright orange, is lying in a carefree way on my computer desk, unaware of the fate that is about to face. Time for jazz. No other time would be more appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2S1I_ien6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSNPpssruFY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTJhHn-TuDY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bjPlBC4h_8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTMqes6HDqU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6mfWun73vI Time to sneeze... ....aaachoo!!

Cold winter nights (aldo not really,really cold here) are great for reading and music. Picking some albums from shelfs that I do not listen often, this came as a pleasant surprise that I had to share. 'The slightly unusual date 'Two Jims and a Zoot' features tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims interacting with two guitarists (Jimmy Raney and Jim Hall) while given subtle support by bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Osie Johnson. Although the eight selections (none of which caught on as standards) had all been written recently and sometimes display the influence of bossa nova, the quiet performances could pass for 1954 rather than 1964. The cool-toned improvisations and boppish playing have a timeless quality about them'.... https://youtu.be/x3RmBs97RoI |
I have to admit that the last thing I expected to hear on your first clip was “Sing, Sing, Sing”, mary_jo. No “woe is me, I am not feeling well”; more of a “let’s kick this cold in the butt” attitude. Hard not to think of Benny when the clarinet is mentioned. Sorry the Ted Nash clip is not available to you. Hope you feel better: https://youtu.be/b_IpgKzy75E Nice post and clip, Alex. Zoot is always great and timeless as you say. Thanks for sharing. https://youtu.be/ojfMCYpDda8 |
Thanks guys for the list of older sax players. frogman how could I forget Charles Lloyd ? Especially when I mentioned him last year when he turned 80 and posted some music. I really only became a fan several years ago. I think his Atlantic and later Ecm recordings are his best. Pjw I am a fan of Odean Pope also and have a number of his recordings. A very strong voice who can play inside or outside. One other sax player who is still alive---Marshall Allen , long time member of Sun Ra's Orch. And Orch. Leader after Ra's passing. He is 94 and still performs. |
