In a completely un-related story, Happy BD Milestones. Thanks for contributing to all the discussions here.
Originally posted by bkelly Milestones, your recommedations are right on the money and your listening tastes just floor me. You are deep into it. I don't know if you are a musician or not but this reminds me that in jazz there are listeners who are every bit as hip as the players. |

Originally posted by Milestones AALY Trio (w/Ken Vandermark) - "Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe" Hank Mobley - the "Curtain Call" and "Poppin" LPs from the "Complete 1950's Blue Note Recordings" Mosaic box set Gary Bartz - "There Goes the Neighborhood" (an excellent live recording from Birdland on the Candid label with Kenny Barron on piano - this is unfortunately out of print at the moment) William Parker - "The Peach Orchard" A fine weekend of diverse jazz listening pleasures...... |
Originally posted by FCJ Milestones, Have you heard the new AALY/DKV CD entitled "Double or Nothing?" There's a great version of Don Cherry's "Awake Nu" that's worth the price of the CD. The other two cuts on the CD are good, although overall I prefer "Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe." Speaking of William Parker, have you heard the new William Parker & The Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra - Raincoat in the River/Vol. 1/ICA Concert (Eremite 036)? Also, I hope that since it was your birthday you also celebrated it with some Louis Armstrong, whose birthday, at least as he believed, was July 4. |
Originally posted by bkelly Milestones, Thanks for the kind words. You are definite proof of the quality and credibility of many "listeners only" in the field of jazz. Please keep in touch. Email me if you'd like. I am very intrested in knowing how you got so deep into jazz as a listener. I hate to sound so stupid but who is AALY? Kroonsteen , your list is also wonderful. For some reason I do not know the Miles Davis number. At least I don't think I do. Best Brian |
Originally posted by Milestones I did not listen to any Pops this 4th of July - but I consider the "Hot Fives and Sevens" to be some of the best music in my collection. I believe recent jazz writers/researchers have pretty thoroughly disproven the born on the 4th of July myth - it would make a nice story if true though. |
Originally posted by Milestones I have the JSP set as well. I already had the JSP set when the new deluxe Columbia set came out and from what I heard about it from others it was not worth switching from the JSP set. John R.T. Davies does a better job of remastering classic jazz material than anybody I know of. The JSP set is quite a bargain as well. I believe I paid about $20.00 for my "Complete Hot Fives and Sevens" set from an online vendor. |
