When was it recorded?

I saw Miles at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam in 1982. I've been to many live jazz performances in my time, but only a few were as memorable as that one. :)

[Marco]

Sorry, Barry, just noticed this! 1973, mate:)

Man, I'd love to have been there at that one... It's a stunning performance, and much more up my street for Miles Davis, than his 'straighter' material. Love the more funky/psychedelic stuff!:cool:

Melodiya made some fine recordings, usually of classical music, but I'm sure the high quality was maintained for other genres.

Was the Miles Davis a recording of a live performance he might have performed in the USSR? Or are the sleeve notes written in Russian?

Depends on the album, but I found Jaco Pastorious's bass playing to be over-dominant and intrusive. It certainly was when I saw Weather Report live.

I find the albums quite varied, Heavy Weather is a fav, also the one just called Weather Report in big red letters on the sleeve.

Buddy Rich Just in Time the final recording

Recorded over 2 nights, 19th & 20th November 1986, at Ronnie Scott's in London, UK, this is the final ever recording of the legendary, influential drummer, whose impact across Rock, Funk and Soul, as well as Jazz, is unrivalled to this day. I think it is safe to say at this point in time that Buddy Rich does not need an introduction. The man is considered by most to be one of, if not THE best drummer to ever exist. The bloke had incredible speed, power and had so much technique that he still blows the minds of people whether they're an amateur or a professional.

This is a great recording, by a great live band led by the world's greatest drummer. As this turned out to be Buddy's last recording it is a fitting tribute. He was still at the top of his game months before he was taken from us, he is still missed! This triple album was put together by his family after years of working to get this live recording out, as ownership of Buddys music is rather complicated i understand.

Over 3 LPs ..Wind Machine, Night Blood, Ready Mix, The Trolley Song, Winding Way, Harco Shuffle, Just In Time, Loose, Love For Sale, Shawnee, Up Jumped Spring, Why Bother?, Porgy and Bess, Twisted (feat. Cathy Rich), Good News (feat. Steve Marcus) [Part 1], Good News (feat. Steve Marcus) [Part 2]

I got this through the post the other day, 3.50 off ebay, CD's seem to be offering great value at present!

Tigran Hamasyan ’For Gyumri’.

A new musician for me, recommended by a friend in Arbroath, beautiful piano playing, really rhythmic, improvising kind of sound but tuneful and quite funky in parts.

He has interesting cultural history, playing with superb musicians and quite a few releases on all formats, I've got some catching up to do!

Primarily classified as Jazz but in this case more akin to Prog Rock/Fusion IMO, JLP is a very accomplished and prolific violinist and keyboard player, he is sited as completely changing the sound of the violins use as a Jazz instrument. He often uses a 5 and 6 string electric violin with a variety of effects pedals.

I've only just come across this album and it's great ..i can easily forgive the odd sonic errs after all recorded on a personal recorder to start .. it allows you to close your eyes and feel like your in the 'Canteen' as a performer live always moves a bit and sometimes reminds you they are a human playing live ....

All in all as someone getting into Jazz after being exposed as a teen, my old pops often had Jazz music going on in the background, sadly it was only his final year that i learned that he had been a good friend of Ronnie Scott throughout the 50s and early 60s and through Ronnie, got to know Ted Heath a bit and Johnny Dankworth very well, I never asked Pops if he had seen Chet ..but i remember being told he was very good when 1 time i said he was on an Elvis Costello track as a soloist .. Shipbuilding iirc ...i was really into Costello at the time....

Its a great album to my ears ..if you haven't heard it give it a listen :)

Also he has won several classical awards. so a pretty accomplished musician.

I agree - "Fusion" is a matter of taste, and in general I'm not much of a fan of it. But there are a few exceptions, and Stanley Clarke is one of them. :)

I came across Carey Bell by accident for a recommended test/listening track for HiFi, and like it so much I decided to hunt down some of his recordings. Initially I went for this complication which is excellent. All relatively unknown Blues artists, but all very good musicians. I might have to get some more of this series.

Big Joe Williams.

Recorded in London in 1968 when in his 60,s. Using his odd 9 string guitar with a pickup. The blues historian Barry Lee Pearson (Sounds Good to Me: The Bluesman's Story, Virginia Piedmont Blues) described Williams's performance:

When I saw him playing at Mike Bloomfield's "blues night" at the Fickle Pickle, Williams was playing an electric nine-string guitar through a small ramshackle amp with a pie plate nailed to it and a beer can dangling against that. When he played, everything rattled but Big Joe himself. The total effect of this incredible apparatus produced the most buzzing, sizzling, African-sounding music I have ever heard


https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210317/f681aad76b94a831e91b9b9def9a5b85.jpg

During the early 1930s, Williams was accompanied on his travels through the Mississippi Delta by a young Muddy Waters. Williams recounted to Blewett Thomas, "I picked Muddy up in Rolling Fork when he was about 15. He went all 'round the Delta playin' harmonica behind me. But I had to put him down after awhile. All these women were comin' up to me and sayin', 'Oh. your young son is so nice!' See, I had to put Muddy down because he was takin' away my women."

John Hammond Jr. Although critically acclaimed, Hammond has received only moderate commercial success. Nonetheless, he enjoys a strong fan base and has earned respect from John Lee Hooker, Roosevelt Sykes, Duane Allman, Willy Deville, Robbie Robertson, Mike Bloomfield and Charlie Musselwhite, all of whom have contributed their musical talents to his records. In addition, he is the only person who ever had both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix in his band at the same time, if only for five days in the 1960s, when Hammond played The Gaslight Cafe in New York City.

An unusual one from the freebie attic collection. I am not sure how to take this one, Mr Delaney obviously was a very accomplished drummer, having played with Ted Heath, Geraldo (7), Bert Ambrose and with various bands of his own, but this comes across as slightly tongue in cheek big band music with some rather elaborate and amusing arrangements. Don't get me wrong it is very well produced and as one would expect it is musically very tight but at times it conjures up and image of sitting in some 50's cafe or bar trying to hang on to an era that is slipping away, with this playing in the background.

Did some vinyl trading yesterday at my favourite record shop, Clock Tower Music in Bridport, was great to get out again and look at some records. I asked for some recommendations from the owner, Roy, and this was one of them, it is a rather excellent concept album about the Apollo 8 landing written and recorded by a Bass player form Seaton, Devon. I had a listen in the shop and decided it was rather good, on listening at home I am rather pleased with it, in places a bit like weather report, also one or two famous musicians perform on the album.

Played this one yesterday. When I did my vinyl trading the other day this was recommended to me, I am not usually a jazz band listener but the music shop owner put on a copy so I could have a quick listen, it is quite avant-garde in terms of its composition edging towards free jazz in places but is very good overall. On the liner notes the tracks on the album it says they are actually carefully shortened versions of selected 8 parts of 15 from a 2 hour suite called 'Pastoral'. Musically it is very surprising in that it flows from one feel(feeling) to another utilising different style and aspect of all the instruments to great effect, sometimes it can be even abrasive but then musically resolves to where it goes next. I believe that Mike Westwood is well recognised in his major contribution to Jazz, even though I was not aware of him. A good buy IMO and one I would recommend to others to give it a listen

1959 was seminal year for Jazz recordings: Mingus 'Ah Um'; Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue' and Dave Brubeck 'Time Out'. And they were all issued on the Columbia label as well.

I would add that they are, IMO, all essential items of a jazz record collection. (And with the possible exception of 'Kind of Blue', should be the original un-remastered versions.)

Well I had noticed that this was regularly on Grants air-waves and it piqued my interest knowing he is a bit of Blues aficionado. Without any sneak listens online I took the plunge and ordered a copy all the way from Australia, and it was reasonably priced including post. Unfortunately the 1st copy arrived looking like a banana, I suspect sat in the sun waiting for a plane, so I sent pics and they apologised and immediately sent another, I think it actually may have come from the artist office looking at the receipt.

So how is it? It is quite a treat! Recorded live in 2 days using just using 2 mics and a two track Ampex 351 tape machine, no overdubbing, with the band positioned around them to get the right mix and levels. It really is not what I expected from an Australian blues singer and guitarist, the way he plays, sings and presents the songs invoke the feeling of a much older blues singer, it really feels your being transported back to an classic 30's/40's blues experience, or earlier on some of the songs even though on this album he is using his Fender Jazzmaster electric guitar. Some songs have a rock n' roll feel but are still very bluesy. A brilliant album IMO.
