I needed more Duke in my day.
Duke Ellington Orchestra âLatin American Suiteâ OJC cd
Thereâs just such sloppy elegance in their playing.
Each of those were where I jumped into the modern world of listening hard as a teen and up. Music that has become part of my mental DNA.
Must resist . . . itâs not fitting in with my scheduled listening for my last hours before the weekend drought.
Snooky Young! I havenât heard that name for a long time.
Itâs a nice name, for a good player!
Right now,
âThe Complete Roulette Jack Teagarden Sessionsâ disc IV
I have several versions of this material, stereo and mono LPs and Japanese SHM-CDs, and it all sounds so good. Jackâs playing and singing are a good fit for my today. And Don Goldie should have gotten better occasions to record, he was a real talent.
Milt Jackson âBurninâ in the Woodshedâ Warner Bros cd
Alto Saxophone â Jesse Davis
Bass â Christian McBride
Drums â Kenny Washington
Piano â Benny Green
Tenor Saxophone â Joshua Redman
Vibraphone â Milt Jackson
TELARC is one of my favor labels too, still remember buying the a cd many many years ago and the sales clerk was like âdonât play too loud at first, it blew my speakersâ
Donât fight the urge, I enjoy them even more now. They have aged like a fine port, well you get the idea.
I thought I had most of Jacksonâs recording. I canât find this recording on Qobuz or Discogs.
That wasnât too hard:
Oh I always enjoy them, just didnât get to any of them today.
I love this one, too! Have the original and Alto audiophile vinyl.
Made me pull this one out, which also is surprisingly good! It has the most real sounding baritone sax (solo) on a big band recording ever.
To these ears, at times, Duke Ellington is at his best in ultra low-fi, as it best conveys a sense of nostalgia and yearning. Creole Love Call from this â44 Carnegie Hall Concerts set exemplifies my point.
head hangs in shame
Thanks for that! Now could you find it in DSD 64 or 128?..
Purchased!
Thanks again @weedeewop!!
Enjoy and love to hear of your initial impressions.
