Marsalis and Clapton Play the Blues, Live at Lincoln Center. These guys are having fun! You can hear them laughing on stage. Not for serious listening :)
It is for serious listening....serious fun!Quote:

This album is one of those. A good recording of Bach's orchestral suites do it for me in the classical realm. Shelley Manne in jazz. Some of the Allmann Bros. in rock..... I could go on....Quote:

Pink Anderson...vol2

Pinkey played Pidemont blues, and was discovered later in life, spending most of his time in a medicine show.
As an aside, pink Floyd got their name from his "pink" name.. the floyd came from floyd council.
Think it was Syd Barrett's idea.
Diana Krall live in Paris..the Olympia i think.. sort of a live great American songbook. Great musical skills from all concerned.

Nina Simone...at Town Hall. This was her 4th album recorded in 1959 in New York. She is ably supported by Al tootie Heath on drums and Jimmy Bond on bass.
Possibly her best ever recording and the while experience at time must have been superb for all including her as you hear her whoop with delight at times. Some of the songs were rerecorded in studio with original applause added etc.(for clarity)
Dexter Gordon - Gettin' Around
Blue Note Records May 28-29, 1965. Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs.
Dexter Gordon - tenor saxophone

(6 feet 6 inches) Long Tall Dexter was incredible!.
A story from a journo/broadcaster on the BBC, once said, during his set at Ronnie Scott’s in London, in the middle of his pianist soloing, Dexter left the stage, walked over to the bar at the side of the venue where the said chap was standing enjoying the set.
Dexter approached the bar next to the chap. Star-struck but playing it very cool the said chap cooly turned and asked Dexter what he was drinking?..... The drink ordered, Dexter thanked him, drank the Liquor, headed back to the stand, whilst the pianist was just concluding his solo, Dexter picked his horn up, clipped it in the neck support and hit the bridge of the tune, BANG!
All without missing a beat and totally silk smooth. DAMN!
love that yarn.

and just for fun.. Dexter on bike with horn...just before he solo'd on the horn and fell off the bike.
He was training for a part time circus performance. :lol: Life of a Jazz Musician is tough!

I guess this album may well have been mentioned before. I'm trying to catch up here in the back you know.
This is good stuff, Russell. I like the cover photo. I've heard a bit of his music in the past. You are right, he's underrated.Quote:

Out of the blues
That's what I hate about the stream services...repackaged, renamed, same LPs. With horrid cheap covers. It's that thing they do to get around copyright or the 50 year old out of copyright thang.Quote:

Grant, love Lou Donaldson.
Great alto sound and really bluesy vibe to his playing.
I think he is in his 90s now, and health is not too good, but what a career and legacy.
Agree. Lou is great. I like him a lot.Quote:

Think these recordings are originally recorded in the 30's but still of decent quality. Broonzy,s sense of humour is evident throughout as is his charm, of which he was reknowned.
One of the greats
Johnny"man" Young..the complete blue horizon sessions.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9274a4041c.png
Great album this.. recorded i think in late 60's .. i have a number of these blue horizon sets. All top quality. Some getting harder to find too.
This is highly recommended

Sometimes recording quality is NOT what it’s about at all.
Glad you liked his stuff Tom. Big Bill was a Top Performer and very popular, both originally and in his reprise years in Europe.Quote:
