Not forgetting the bonus, Indian Summer from the album "In Three Attitudes". Makes a change, for me, from listening to the likes of Keith Rowe, Derek Bailey and N O Moore. (I'm listening via QOBUZ.)

I've toyed with the idea of subscribing to either youtube or QOBUZ - I mean I use the former a fair amount anyway... not sure whether I will take the dive so to speak any time soon though.Comment

Have you been following the podcasts by Rick Beato on YOutube? I have been quite addicted by them over the Christmas holiday. They are usually more rock / pop orientated but they sometimes cross over into jazz. There is quite a bit about music production that is fascinating insofar that he is not afraid to call out musicians who use things like Autotune or are lacking in talent. HOwever, it is fascinating when he goes in theother direction and highlights elements which he considers to be very musical. It is a really fascinating programme and his opinion is always worth listening to.Comment

I haven't, Ian, though often his videos will crop up in things youtube suggests I watch. I have to say though, once I saw a video of his entitled 'Why Do People Hate Jazz' and I thought that this was such a stupid topic for a video that I'm even more unlikely to watch any of his videos. I do however have some time for 'Jazz Guitar Scrapbook' though that is didactic in nature (its author is a knowledgeable chap whom I took a lesson with in December) but generally even things like that I can't bring myself to watch much. These days I find my pursuit of technique on the guitar is robbing me of time for other things.Comment

Seeing the weather today, seems appropriate that this CD should reach me on this day.Originally posted by Joseph K View Post Shall see if I can find some time to spin some of it later.

Check out the drummer Tom Rainey too, JK. Collaborates with one-time Knitting Factory people, also with "our own" Ingrid Laubrock.

Then of course there's also the great blues singer Ma Rainey, (probably no relation, Tom being white!) - famous for her bulldog/watchdog:Originally posted by Joseph K View Post

Not to mention Bill Evans solo version of "It's That Rainy Day" from 1968, actually referenced as "Rainey" in the linking URL!!!

It seems to have two spellings, but I've often wondered about that, thinking "false memory syndrome, maybe?"Originally posted by Joseph K View PostComment

I was listening to this interview with Jimmy Raney which was quite interesting....
Picking up on the "shamen" thread, I personally find this kind of discussion to be more salient. I suppose Raney is chatting about the same creative process but I think that his comments are far more "practical" and easier to relate to than the stuff Kenny Werner was discussing. This is probably more of a generation thing insofar that Raney was very much a product of the late forties / early fifties.
Raney has never been someone I have checked out. The association with Stan Getz had largely put me off in addition to the fact that I do not find much of what happened in electric jazz guitar after Charlie Christian and before the late sixties to be too interesting. There are exceptions like Jim Hall, Grant Green and Kenny Burrell whose records I admire greatly yet Raney always struck me as part of that generation which included Tal Tarlow, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Johnny Smith whose approach seemed to be a bit polite and quickly go overtaken. It takes a lot more effort to listen to their playing and digest what they were doing. I would be interested to hear Joseph's opinion of the Avid discs. I have heard some tracks where Raney is doubling up on the melodies with the valve trombone of Bob Brookmeyer which are right on the money. The interview certainly resonates with me as more than the Zen stuff which I tend not to take too seriously and which acts as a barrier to enjoying the music. He would be someone I would listen to on the basis of that interview as he has interesting things to say.
Just bought the new Bill Frisell quartet album but not played it yet. It looks like his most "straight ahead" line up ever but seeing that it also involves the brilliant pianist Gerald Clayton, it was a "must have" for me. Surprised that no on in this room ever mentions Clayton. He is a wonderful player and one of the best of his generation in my opinion. Same goes for John Escreet who also has a new recprd out which I an eager to hear. Given the enthusiasm on this board for British musicians, he is also overlooked too. For me, the best British jazz pianist since John Taylor although Escreet tends to be more associated with more "outside" styles of jazz having been a pupil of the late, great Richard Muhal Abrams - dare I say it, only appreciated by Jazzrook and myself in here.Comment
