Jazz for aficionados

Oups!

I just realized that i already have this Eddy Louiss album with Rene thomas but i never listen to it before you mention it to me...😊😁 And really Thomas shine on it...

I have many Eddy Louiss albums already loving Hammond organ... The one with Thomas i never listened to before your youtube post ...I listen my file instead now... 😁 Sound is better...

It takes one hour to listening an album.... if you own thousands it is thousand hours...

Impossible to listen to them all in one year... And there is albums i listened repeatedly as the "formidable" album with Pat Martino and hammond organ for example.... Then it is less time for discovering a new one... I am less in search for novelties anyway than for an album that will put me in a trance so to speak.... Novelties it is easy to find... Trance like album less easy...

Then i know way less about jazz than many here... I listen too much the albums i like too much... 😁

When i love some album and i love many i ask myself if i will listen to it more than 10 times before dying... For this  Martino album i am already near 50 ....And i know i will listen at least few times each year... 

Good!

It’s not easy to suggest albums you haven’t already heard. ;O)

@curiousjim and the rest of the "JFA crew" the concert was great. It was raining and chilly last night in NYC but once inside the cozy confines of the Village Vanguard surrounded by the ghosts of jazz legends I was HAPPY!

 Framed photo's on the wall included John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans and of course, the still living legend Mr. Sonny Rollins.

@stuartk You should have stayed in NY....

Well, I didn't have a choice at the time. My dad retired while I was about to enter 9th grade and my parents decided to move the family to Guadalajara at that point. 

Later on, I did return to the East Coast -- my wife and I lived in Maine for 9 wonderful years. I always miss the East come fall but I have no desire to deal with those winters, although the last two have been marked by more snow than I like here in the rural Sierra Foothills.

Which P. Martino album are you talking about?  

I like this album a lot...

I even used it as a test for my acoustic soundstaging test...I like all others Martino albums but this one is special on many counts...

The Hammond of Pat Bianchi goes so well with Martino guitar... And the soundfield is very well done by the recording engineer, the way the players are distributed... It is not an audiophile recording for sure but only a good one...

All the pieces on this album integrated into ONE larger musical  whole that lift the soul by his rythmic pulse felt trough all players here...Martino know how to implicate all the players around him...I think that he hypnotized them... 😊 His playing is pulse driven...Always melodic...
