What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Serial_Apologist]

Normally I'm in two minds about any explicit Baroque stylistic influences appearing in jazz, even in Lennie Tristano, though John Lewis's "Django" would be one exception I'd have to make as it's such a beautiful and memorable tune, as also is this - in my view one of Charlie Haden's more evocative:

The Art Farmer Septet Plays the Arrangements and Compositions of Gigi Gryce and Quincy Jones.

Put this on somewhat randomly, and the similarities to parts of " Acknowledgement" from "A Love Supreme" in both Mau Mau, and Work of Art are very obvious, ( A jazz numpty writes).

Anyway, great stuff, and a superb album artwork, pun intended, which never does any harm.

Mike Osborne
From the 'Turtle Records Pioneering British Jazz 1970-1971' Box Set

The good wife took 10 minutes before walking out saying "I'm not listening to this". She says she likes jazz with 'tunes'.

Make sure to sing the two great tunes on that album when she comes back; and when she asks, "Where have I heard that tune?", reply "Easy", and put that recording back on.

The wrong Osbourne.

Right now I have on:

Paul Dunmall "East West North South" (FMR, 2000) with Dunmall (tenor, soprano saxes, bagpipes) John Adams*, Philip Gibbs (guitars) Mark Sanders (drums).

*The right Adams.

What, Luther?

Maybe they were paranoid in their musings!

‘The Gigolo’
Lee Morgan with Wayne Shorter, Harold Mabern, Bob Cranshaw & Billy Higgins
Blue Note (1965)

What, Luther?

Perhaps they should have a shoot-out to decide which John Adams is the real one!

This particular John Adams came up through one of Tony Levin's improvisation workshops in Birmingham, I am told. The drummer Tony Levin, not the bass-playing one!

'Another Workout'
Hank Mobley with Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers & Philly Joe Jones
Blue Note (1961)
