What Jazz are you listening to now?

[CGR]

I was listening to excellent Jackie McLean - Vertigo earlier but now the wife has put the Moody Blues "On the Threshold of a Dream" on. Sunny evenings and a glass of wine brings back memories of late 60s early 70s pre-punk hippy-dippy youth.

Yep. A really great album. I love Burrell's bluesy, but at the same time sophisticated, guitar playing.

Was never a fan of the jazz guitar until I heard Kenny Burrell's masterpiece 'Midnight Blue'. It made me hear a number of jazz guitarists in a completely different light and now I greatly admire the music of Kenny Burrell, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery.

Earlier today: Andrew Cyrille, The Declaration of Musical Independence, with Bill Frisell, Richard Teitelbaum and Ben Street. Easy ECM listening.

Just now: Basic Blythe by Arthur Blythe (RIP).

His last on Columbia - they tried to make him a star and couldn't get it right. Unfortunately he had to record some right clunkers, though this one - with his regular quartet plus a string quartet - gets it right, I think. It's the kind of LP Bird With Strings should have been. Still he left us with a beautiful legacy.
