A bustling Jazz Club broadcast by Ronnie Scott's band from January 1984 from Ron's collection, courtesy the British Jazz site - everyone on good form:

One of the longest URLs I've ever had to transcribe - way up in the decibels, if not the Urals!

Great stuff! I used to have an Annie Ross LP which had Pony Poindexter on, recorded in Germany in the company of mostly young German musicians in 1967 who really knew their stuff; it was the first time I heard Annie do her vocalese to James Moody's "Twisted" solo. Many moons later I was at a gig where James Moody was the main featured guest - and he sang that same version... of her version of his solo!!! Pony Poindexter was one of the young black American musicians who made his home in Europe at that time, I believe - he doesn't get much mentioned nowadays, despite being pretty good.

Pony looks older on the previous clip than I'd imagined. Time for a bit of researchin'.

Thanks very much, BD - Evan Parker rates that one the best by the trio, and I've been wanting to listen to it for some time.

Miles Davis Sextet - Straight No Chaser, live at Newport

Miles' solo is one of the first I transcribed, just off the CD - transcription, or, more properly speaking, dictation, is much easier now if you use you tube because it enables you to slow it down!

I love this album and this performance in particular - Bill Evans' solo is also great.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Chuck Berry, "Wee Wee Hours" (Chess 78 1955)

In my 'umble opinion, the finest thing Chuck ever cut. Guitar, piano, bass and drums like a fine curry. Johnny Johnson's piano, the finest "spice". Is it "jazz"? Do anything?
