Thanks a lot Alyn...mine of that is "Sweet Stuff", a wonderful almost Elmo Hope introspective example of Horace's lesser known trio work.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

ah Horace Silver, never too much of the master of hard bop

Great. I <heart> "Sweet Stuff".

RIP Horace.

The track which made it for me was Louis Prima. The dame took me to a wonderful place. But she didn't even get a mention in the credits. Jazz Sexism?

I felt that the Louis Prima track was the best thing played on JRR last night and this was closely followed by the Wynton Marsalis track - not the most obvious choices from the play list. The arrangement of the Louis Prima record was really imaginative and I loved the contrast in the two voices. I've always associated Prima with Walt Disney's "Robin Hood" and it was nice to hear something different by him. The record seemed to sum up for me the reason why when a jazz approach to a pop record is applied the result will always be an awful lot for interesting.

As far as the Horace Silver tracks were concerned it's difficult to find anything objectionable about them. The writing is lean and economic and whilst not pulling up any trees for me, the trio recording did seem to have parallels with Elmo Hope. However, there isn't too great an amount of variety in Silver's music and it is difficult for me to shake off the feeling that it is a little perfunctory. It's not bad but I think the slyness of Sonny Clark's writing gives him the edge in the tilt for the crown of King od Hard Bop.

Curious to hear the Chico Freeman record reviewed - the first track hinted at 1980's New Neo yet I felt that Le Gendre's enthusiasm was totally merited. Really enjoyed the analysis of this record.

Oddball, Keely did get an on air credit before the song.
Sorry I missed her off the list. Just getting this typed up and posted each week is all done by me - so blame me for the typos, but there's no intended sexism...

Alyn, MANY thanks again to you and Nancy for playing Horace's "Sweet Stuff". One of the best responses to anything I've ever requested on JRR...even my ex wife thought is was wonderful. A hard Sinatra fan ex wife to please indeed! I really think those later trio tracks, "Lonely Woman", et al deserve attention.

I always thought it was Keely Smith who wore the tights

I think the future of music rests with North Korea judging be this catchy little number. Love the video too and amazed he managed to get the likes of President Obama to join in. This bloke is terrific but not convinced about the lyrics even if it is something we can all join in with. Love the football clip where they literally "park the bus" .............

That man's got a Korea ahead of him (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Many thanks Alyn. My posts are usually tongue in cheek - in fact I can't recall when I last made a sensible comment!
