What Jazz are you listening to now?

Sorcerer by the Miles Davis Quintet. My copy is a mid-price 1980s reissue with a naff grey cover. But on the plus side, CBS made the wise decision to leave off the filler track "Nothing Like You" with Bob Dorough from this reissue so for years I was blissfully unaware that it had been part of the original release.

A wonderful album. I first encountered it as part of the complete Miles on Columbia boxed set, and it did feature 'Nothing Like You', lol...

Gary Peacock - Guamba (ECM, 1987). Still one of my favourite LPs, with Garbarek, Palle Mikkelborg, Gary Peacock and Peter Erskine.

I hope you are not going to become a pedant like our precious little chum who flits across from the Classical board. The whole ethos of the Jass Bored has been far more open - at least since the departure of Trevor Cooper at least. You were probably still a sperm when he posted !

My point is that Symanowski should be up there with the the likes Debussy , Ravel , Scriabin, Bartok etc as a jazz influence , at least with harmony and colour. He also covered a far wider base than Scriabin who produced a handful of orchestral and no string quartets. The Naxos label has a load of his work that cam be picked up for peanuts.

cheers

I wonder if you realised that th3 score for Nothing Like You was written by Gil Evans ? I like the additional tracks for this reason.

Guamba is a great album. Wish Garbarek still made records like this but I rarely listen to him these days. He has vanished right off the map.

The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery

[Joseph K]

I love this tune (edit: which is 'Boplicity', for some reason the video's title isn't showing on this incarnation of the forum) which just today I started learning. I think I'll start transcribing this version, which is awesome.

It first became widely known from Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool album, Joseph K.
