Perfect Relaxing Friday Afternoon Jazz:

I Love Italy:

Santana (with Eric Clapton):



Is it Jazz? Jazzy I think, but Does it matter? Great music.

This popped up on my feed; I assume because of the above.



Or maybe because of the 70s fashions, which seem to get a lot of play in this thread.

do you listen to Asleep at the Wheel? there's a strong connection between them and Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen

I've seen them both play at the Armadillo in the 70s. I credit Asleep At The Wheel with reviving Country Swing/Bob Wills in the 70s. It might seem astounding now how popular these bands' shows were at the time, and how fresh their music seemed. There were a lot of hippie girls in Austin in the 70s who made no pretension of hiding their two-stepping hearts, and you couldn't keep them off the dance floor.

Everyone is asleep at wheel; where’s are Sunday Jazz tune?!! Get on the ball you Yahoo’s!

strap in

Perfect Jazz for a Tuesday afternoon:

yup...great combo

recently discovered live recording of Coltrane playing Psalm, recorded in Seattle 1965


it sounds like the same lineup from the Live in Seattle album recorded in '65 and released in '71. if that's the case, this is the crew:

John Coltrane — tenor saxophone/soprano saxophone
Pharoah Sanders — tenor saxophone
McCoy Tyner — piano
Jimmy Garrison — double bass
Donald Garrett — clarinet[nb 1]/double bass
Elvin Jones — drums

to my knowledge there is only one other live recording of any song off of A Love Supreme, when the entire suite was recorded live in Antibes in '65.

Was that one of his last albums? Foggy recollection from a documentary.

he recorded about a dozen studio albums and about a half-dozen live albums after A Love Supreme before he passed away in '67, some released while he was still alive, some after.
there just aren't recordings of him playing live songs off of that album.

lol well I was a bit off



this one is nice, soothing and spacy. he lingers on an idea at some point midway through, and it's out because it's so 'in' lol but he's doing it.

you guys never seem to talk about that 'out' element in jazz

schlitzy, it makes me happy you seem to have found some interest in this song.
i'm interested to hearing you elaborate on what you mean by the 'in' and the 'out', are there particular points in the song you can point to?

have you listened to 'A Love Supreme' from beginning to end? Part IV Psalm is the last part of the four part suite, but it's a continuous melodic story before it reaches that part.

give this one a play with headphones on after enjoying your favorite edible and let me know what you think after having some time to digest it (and anything else you eat along the way).

i'm a big fan of listening to a jazz album at least the same number of times as the number of personnel listed in the liner notes, so i can focus each listen on a single instrument. in this case it would be four
John Coltrane -- soprano and tenor saxophone
Jimmy Garrison -- double bass
Elvin Jones -- drums
McCoy Tyner -- piano

Part III - Pursuance when it's just piano, bass, and drums scrambles my mind every time.
trane just blows a little intro bit to set the tone, steps away, and off they go.
the groove they find is so deep

It's Sunday morning, and this is perfect for 1AM.

It's Sunday afternoon:

Sonny Clark was one of the many great musicians that were lost in their prime. he OD'd at 31.

seeing Donald Byrd made me think of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers when Byrd played with him/them. also made me think of this mix of Blakey/Trane/Byrd

The Jazz Messengers from '56 is a fantastic album. youtube lets me find playlists but i can't yet find the full album. classic Blakey driving the beat

the first track:


Drums: Art Blakey
Piano: Horace Silver
Bass: Doug Watkins
Tenor Saxophone: Hank Mobley
Trumpet: Donald Byrd

not sure if it will work, but here's a link to the youtube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...m6I6QKIGwYi5AF

Link works fine, but there is a tag saying one of the songs has been removed. Will get to listen this week.

actually looks like a few are missing.

Weird-o goes after Hank's Dream


and these should be the last two songs

I like when he repeatedly says 'a taco supreme.'

Will give it another listen toasted
