What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Joseph K]

Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour

Fourth disk of this.

[Ian Thumwood]

Pat Metheny & John Scofield - I can see your house from here

Joseph

If you like this record, I would recommend the earlier disc where John Scofield was reunited with Bill Frisell. Brass arrangements by Mike Gibbs. One of the great album from the 1990s'.

Incidentally, I have been playing Bill Frisell's "Quartet" today for the first time in ages. I used to love this album and it has stood up to time really well. Featuring the line up of guitar, violin, trombone and trumpet, the music sound like a post modern mash up of Joe Venuti, Charles Ives and the Carter Family. A lot of the music was written for the "Far Side" film which I have never seen albeit I love Gary Larssen's cartoons.

Now playing some Toots and the Maytals.

Coltrane is so brilliant it's ridiculous. Of course, I already knew this but - wow!

Not only does it have a beautiful set of changes but also at the same time it has a rather fetchingly vigorous up-tempo rhythm. The original performance of this tune is ok, but here it's utterly incredible, epic and mystical.

Props to Santana.
