What Jazz are you listening to now?

Just listened to folk Singer Shirley Collins on Desert Island disc. She chose some lovely songs and she has led a fascinating life and sounded very sprightly for 88. One of her choices was this wonderful Mississippi Fred McDowell song "61 Highway Blues"

I listened to this as repeated this morning. Yes, Shirley sounds remarkably youthful for her years, particularly considering what she
has been through healthwise.

I had thought of mentioning this DID on the Folk etc thread!

"Jazz & the French New Wave, Paris Blue"

Great BBC radio feature from Kevin Le Grende from 2019 about Paris, New Wave Film & Jazz. The good bad and ugly, the selective racism. I recently found the tape of this and found it just as good. He really is excellent and manages to add some of his own background to illuminate.

Thanks for highlighting this excellent programme, It's prompted me to watch the Louis Malle classic again. Here is Jeanne Moreau and Miles "Generique"

Jeanne Moreau is manifique!

Here's JJ Johnson being equally with a Rollinsesque Hank Mobley from 1954 (early) with JJ's "Groovin'", a great relaxed blues from "Eminence Vol 2" on Bluenote. Horace on piano. A lot of these JJ records have passed me by so making up for it.

JJ seems sadly overlooked nowadays.
Here he is with Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers & Max Roach playing ‘Blue Trombone’ in 1957. Great solo from Max!

Agreed, J J was a great trombonist and he graces one of Sonny Rollins most underrated albums - Sonny Rollins Vol 2 on Bluenote. Sonny and JJ interact so well "You stepped out of a dream" with an ace rhythm section, Horace Silver, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey - pure joy...

Reminder to Bruce....

You need to get the new Wayne Shorter album Celebration. It is terrific. Just been playing it. Really impressed by this. All live and free playing.
hopefully there will be a volume 2.

thanks for the head's up Ian. Listening now...given how popular Wayne's late Quartet was, I don't believe that there isn't a ton of recordings which will come out so Volume 2 will definitely be on the cards.

Gave myself an early xmas gift - the latest Miles Davis "Miles in France 1963/1964. A stunning collection on 6 cd's 80% of which has not been previously issued, unsurprisingly on the tracks I have played so far are well up to standard and further our understanding of this greatest of bands. Hard to pick an example because what I have played up to now is all so fine but I have chosen 'all of you' from Oct 1st 1964 by the band with Wayne.
