shainhouse Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I just picked up the newish Roy Hargrove called RH Factor and it's great. Not that jazzy, more funk fusion.Dennis Rollins' new one is fantastic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groove Fetish Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 If you've never checked out Yuseef Lateef - highly recommended and very prolific- I always have him in rotation. you can generally find a section for him in most good vinyl shops.

Blane Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 not exactly jazz, but I've been loving the Garcia/Wales stuff (side trips vol. 1&2) lately.Also, I have really been liking the Peter Brotzman stuff ever since I saw him in May and June.

Booche Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) Frisell/Holland/Jones has been getting heavy spins in the car lately. love eet.Yessir, I love that cd. Swearing it up and down, been I have. Just tonight as we headed back to Ottawa, coming from down east, we ended our travels with the somewhat recently reissued John Coltrane - A Love Supreme with the added 2nd cd of the only time he performed the album live. Outstanding stuff. This was pre-empted by some Jazz station in Montreal that was playing KILLER music, but I didnt catch a single artist. Some of it was very elevatorish, but much of it saved our lives from the west-fading sun.From recent-past ones, I am a big fan of those Howard Wales cds as well as the Garcia-Grisman So What cd. Yeah, I am about to put on some Django. Thanks for the reminder. Edited August 23, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have a good jazz story.. 10 years and 1 week ago it was my Dad's 50th birthday party. They threw a bender for him in my backyard, complete with a 3-piece jazz band. They set up in this one corner and there backs were to the window with our tv room on the other side. I remember my cousin and I being impressed by the stand-up bass cuz our favourite music video at the time was Mr. Kringle by Primus, where Les and his standup bass are very prominent. We had it on tape so we kept playing it over and over, trying to distract the bassist or get some reaction.Anyways, the cool part is, a few weeks ago my mom rediscovered the band leaders name in her phone book. DAVID BRAID! So yeah, David Braid played in my backyard in 1995 with his trio. haha!!She said she remembers calling and getting Braid's old mom on the phone... "Sorry, David isn't home right now, can I take a message for him?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

can-o-phish Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Jake Langley, another phenomenal jazz guitarist from T-Dot and now is playing full time with Joey DeFrancesco has some great stuff. I have a great recoring of him with Ben Riley (perc), Calvin Beal(bass) & Dylan Hemming (keyboards) from a few years back when they filled in for The Sisters Euclid and dubbed themselves The Brothers Palmerston, one street over from Euclid Ave. I still think it's one of my better live recordings. Fack, where to upload that one...If you're listening to Jazz FM, you've heard Jake. If you haven't, well, might be worth checking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Anything with William Parker and Hamid Drake is worth tracking down especially their debut Piercing The Veil there's also a more accessible sort of remix of another project (Black Cherry) by New York's Organic Grooves.

Kaidy Mae Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) Charlie Parker - The Original Recordings It seems like every time I'm at the El Mo there's a ragged looking busker who passes by playing Charlie Parker. The first time he busted out Now's the Time I was ecstatic*! Almost everyone else tried to shush him so that they could return to their cigarettes and idle chit chat. I guess none of the club kids listen to jazz anymore. *literally Speaking of Charlie, I'd recommend checking out his autobiographical flick, Bird if you get the chance. It's one sad story. I also share a birthday with Mr. Parker! He would've been 85 on Monday. The 34 year old Parker was so haggard that the coroner mistakenly estimated Parker's age to be between 50 and 60. Oh, Charlie.

Deeps Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) I just saw Bird on Monday...weird that it was his B-Day. It was a pretty good film. Long mind you, but Forrest Whitaker plays Bird well. Clint Eastwood directed it.The film really lacked depth in its investigation of his music though. It seemed to never expose how truly revolutionary his phrasing was and what it did to change jazz forever; other than a quick conversation between Albino Red and Bird where Bird talks about Cherokee and how he went inside the chords and found out how to replace the notes within the chords making the tune completely new while preserving the essence.I too have been listening to the original recordings of Charlie Parker as of late.Also been checking out a double CD my guitar player bought me. It features Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis on separate occasions at the Newport Jazz Fest (not playing together.) The years escape me right now, but this is an awesome set of recordings.The MC at the fest in combination with the booklet that comes with the CD do a great job in explaining the serious confusion around Thelonius' music when it was first introduced to the public and goes on to show what vindication (sp?) the Monk appearance at the fest was for both Monk himself and the progressive jazz scene as a whole.Pretty cool stuff.I LOVE Thelonius.
