Album For Today

[charles t]

Thanks Calum, mucho. Babel Records - for my PayPal's worth - sent me an atrocious CD - This Is Not Fusion. Some world music crap...should'a been entitled - This Is Not Music. Will be taking to Amoeba Music this Monday hoping for $4-$5 credit. Dreamer?

I did contact Allsopp and he had offered to send me a copy but ended-up ordering from Jazzcds.uk - really fine people!

... a classic ... Monk is dancing in the passages with silent piano Uncle Monty

[Serial_Apologist]

Is this a thread mainly devoted to classics? Or dare I mention a new CD?

S-A

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

this is a thread devoted to jazz albums and their covers of any vintage .... eg Raspberry Tongue! its jazz innit anarchy rules etc ....

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

anarchy etc so not an album as such

... one day we will get round to documenting Lewis's contribution to jazz .....

Calum - Thee is an unforgettable scene in No Sun In Venice aka Sait-on-Jamais of the funeral cortege of black gondolas down the Canal and only the MJQ's Cortege being heard on the soundtrack.

I consider it most fortunate that I heard the group perform this album - live...

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

yes Chas, my elder sister saw the movie on its release in Paris and the MJQ perform it there, she was entranced by it for the rest of her life, i caught the bug from her!

i really appreciated Mr Diehl's work on the John Lewis archive which he describes on Do The Math Blog ....

Coincident with John Surman's appearance (from the 2009 London Jazz Fest) now on Jazz Lineup for one more day - I picked up these Surman contributions at a used bookstore ystdy:

[eighthobstruction]

Do not know those....this is a favourite....

[Tenor Freak]

Just discovered this:



That version of "Tones for Joan's Bones" really is excellent

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

genius

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

before the theory became quantum with a central uncertainty there was a classic period and this is one of its classic works, this is the uk cover, the second lp i ever scored at the Gate Bookshop in Notting Hill Gate ....
