What Jazz are you listening to now?

Listening a fair amount to a few versions of Pat Metheny playing 'Solar', I found Bill Evans playing it, very nice.

Roy Haynes - Birds of a Feather - A Tribute to Charlie Parker

[Ian Thumwood]

Been working in cost reports this evening which I want to get progressed before going to watch the T20 cricket tomorrow afternoon. I have been playing the duet between pianist Paul Bley and percussionist George Cross McDonald, another Canadian musician albeit someone I have never heard of before. All the music is improvised but the most pronounced thing for me is that GCM seems to come to the music from outside of jazz. There is no real groove yet the music is compelling due to the sheer intensity of what is produced. It is really "hardcore" Paul Bley with very little in the way of compromise but somehow it works.

Match of the Day beckons....

Roy Haynes - Birds of a Feather - A Tribute to Charlie Parker

A fine record. Nice hearing a more modern take on rhythm changes, particularly in 'Moose the Mooch'; 'Now's the Time' is arranged so as to sound like a groove tune like Freedom Jazz Dance.

I saw this group at Vienne. Haynes is one of my favourite drummers but I felt on stage he has a larger than life personality.

The Ray Charles small band, Ray piano, Antibes 1961 - "Lil Darlin'". To me, still glorious. And equally wonderful the way these tapes have now been remastered. All the bootlegs I've heard previously have been second generation (more) and compressed.
