Yes, you are correct. I have posted this 60 times. This is 61.


My old professor said that Art Pepper became a parody of himself by his final days when we listened to his music. Not here.

Nature Boy is such a great tune. Of course Miles did one of my favorite versions.


i'll get to Autumn Leaves later this evening

Spring is Here
from Standard Coltrane, an old Richard Rodgers song recorded at Van Gelder in '58

intro is a little flat and uninspired ...until Trane drops in

John Coltrane - tenor
Wilbur Harden - trumpet, flugel
Red Garland - piano
Paul Chambers - bass
Jimmy Cobb - drums


Intro is a little flat but I like it. It makes St John that much stronger when he jumps in

haven't researched the Rodgers version much but i bet it's the only portion somewhat true to the original

this was recorded in the same session as tracks later found on Stardust and Bahia
potentially misleading because all three albums were released in the early 60s but all recorded 7-11-1958


what a busy day
none of the lot are particularly outstanding, suppose just another day in the lush life of Saint John

Standard Coltrane full album

the two found on Stardust

and the three from Bahia


expecting this may be difficult listening for many
Live in Warsaw 1993

Ornette Coleman - alto, trumpet
Don Cherry - trumpet
Charnett Moffett - bass
Denardo Coleman - drums

worth watching if only to better understand the young talent of Charnett Moffett
26 years old during this recording and effectively scrambling any logical perception of the limitations of playing double bass both plucked and bowed
reminder this is alongside Ornette and Cherry live

I need to park this here as I try to get caught up on my saxophone noire. I hear shades of morricone...

my ears a willing valet


new to me ears ago today via languid tubing along rhythmic shores of streaming video

first time hearing of the Johnny Smith Quartet
shame on me

1955 west coast cool jazz with a bit of unpredictability and musicianship

Guitar – Johnny Smith
Piano – Bob Pancoast
Bass – George Roumanis
Drums – Mousie Alexander

also a fantastic album cover by Burt Goldblatt



I posted Johnny Smith last month. This month you never heard of him [emoji3166]


don't doubt that for a second, wondering was it the same album or something else?


It was Johnny playing Debussy la fille aux cheveaux de Lin.


so not the Johnny Smith Quartet, but me watching that may be the cause of them popping up on the alog


What's important is Johnny is amazing. I love his chord melody stuff.


I was getting ready to post a How have I never heard of this guy?, but luckily red was there to take the hit


there are no meaningful reward points gained from being the first in your rhythmic circle to hear particular musicians
but always welcome introduction to previously overlooked artists


obviously I dont care about priority of perception
I was joking that you guys prolly dont read my posts and missed the tone

possibly because I ate two caffeine pills that day
and dabbed some moon rocks
I was a little "jazzed up"
