Today's Listen: Geri Allen -- THE GATHERING Nothing irritating here. Very nice playing. Just does not seem to go anywhere. Comes very close to sound generation stuff. Everyone just playing their asses off, with seemingly no regard to what the others are playing. Hell, I was looking for the visuals. The tunes seem to end when everyone just stops. This track has more bite than most of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX7lcPL5GxU Recommended for the modern crowd. If they call it Jazz, then it must be Jazz. Right? Cheers |
Even I , who knows next to nothing about jazz, gathered that Bradford was not all that from seeing his band a few times on whatever late-night show he was on, What really got to me was the deadpan expression on his face when f...ing Kenney G got to play the memorial piece on the show the night Dizzy passed. Arrogant people never get to the heart of the matter because you only learn yourself through other people. And only see God in others faces. |
Does anyone else have the Sophie Milman CD "Make Someone Happy" ? To me, she's the best of all the current "divas" out there, not a great voice but beautiful lyrical phrasing , VERY flowing and for-real passion for music in her soft-voiced manner. The ensemble work by the Toronto musicians is SUPERB, at times the bassist, one Kieran Overs, sounds like a twin sister singing along. As joyful a recording as I have ever heard ! |
