What Jazz are you listening to now?

[eighthobstruction]

Just listened to first track -Poutin' - a good old 12 bar Blues, with drum breaks. Will be following up during the week. Great stuff eighth.

It gets better and better (and you don't want it too stop) as they get into it....bass sound - out of this world....

I really like this track. I had forgotten how good Albery Mangelsdorff was. Someone might correct me but I think that is a Chiffchaff on the album cover. I really struggle with warblers and the problem get more difficult as the species increase in number as you head in to Europe. I sometimes get chiffchaffs in my garden but more usually it is Blackcaps that I can hear in the spring.

Doing a search for one of my old teachers, John Myhill (now RIP) I found a link to one of my old posts and this little nugget which I am enjoying right now - and <thanks> to Alyn for having the gumption to record this. Somehow it's still there on the BBC website. I am really quite nostalgic for Mr Garrick and his influence on our music. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sbvh6

Heining in his new book reckons the Garrick Sextet of the early 1970s with Henry Lowther, Art Themen and Norma Winstone represented a creative peak in his small group work, and I am much in agreement.

I need to check that stuff out. I recall reading that when they had a photograph done for one of their LPs (the one where they're all on a railway platform in WW2 military uniform) Mike (I think - wearing a US Army uniform) was spat at! Some people even in the early 70s still hated the Yanks.

Actually looking at the LP cover I think it's Trevor Tomkins who is the GI. RIP, he was great too. Rendell and Themen are obvious on the cover and you can make Norma out in the background.

Now back in MY day, when I were a lad, they wouldn't have let you grow your hair that long and wear army uniform. But you try telling that to t' yoong people of today... and they'll believe you!

They're definitely not in accordance with King's Regulations and should be marched at the double to the barbers immediately before being put on a charge!

I saw a young lady called Emma Smith on Facebook with an offer whereby if you paid for postage and packing she would send a free cd. So I did and it arrived today. I don’t know much about jazz singing but she sounds pretty damn good!

Has anyone else heard of her? I really admire her marketing skills.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Milt Jackson - "Plenty Plenty Soul" from the Atlantic album of the same name. January 1957. This is a great album with this track almost sounding a replica of the Ray Charles band, Quincy Jones signature arrangement etc. Frank Foster, Joe Newman, Cannonball in as 'Ronnie Peters", Horace Silver doing his "Ray"...

Would love to hear this Archie Shepp discovery from 1964 but, unfortunately, it’s only available on vinyl and at a hefty price:
