Perfect Sunday Jazz. Bright and lively and everything between. Thanks Phat.

tonight was my first listen to this
bless you Jimmy Cobb taking a cannonball for the rest of us

Paul Chambers - Double Bass
Wynton Kelly - Piano
Cannonball Adderley - Alto Saxophone
Freddie Hubbard - Trumpet
Jimmy Cobb - Drums

Recorded 1959

recommend not skipping past introductions

oh my how the orbits of these great minds intertwined with this particular confluence of aural space pace tone and time
insert commas into any of the structure above to open your own entrance into somehow sentencing music as text
blaming that last line on Elvin Jones cymbals

John Coltrane: tenor & soprano sax
Eric Dolphy: alto sax, bass clarinet, flute
McCoy Tyner: piano
Reggie Workman: bass
Elvin Jones: drums

Falkonerteatret, Copenhagen 1961-11-20

1. intro by Norman Granz
2. Delilah
3. Every Time We Say Goodbye
4. Impressions
5. Naima
6. My Favourite Things (false start)
7. My Favourite Things

Saint John trading off with Eric Dolphy is as good as it gets.

completing each others thoughts sixteen bars ahead
exquisite synergy

heard news today about a college bball player named Coleman Hawkins
for a skip second my brain valve confused him with an OG bebop tenor
so auto-nominally praise his parents then pivot the goal posts to paint my ear canal with jazz scores

Norman Granz and Gjon Mili circa 1950 collaborate to capture a collage of studio music and pantomime
six years before they documented Jammin' the Blues
probably cast the net wider on that thought in a future post

as for the current one

Charlie Parker - alto
Coleman Hawkins - tenor
Hank Jones - piano
Ray Brown - bass
Buddy Rich - drums



Hawk the elder at 46
Bird Hank and Rich early 30s
only topic left is Ray Brown
youngest at 24 and just before four decades of Oscar Peterson collaboration

as for Jammin' the Blues
i'll just post these three for now
do not underestimate the importance of Lester Young and Illinois Jacquet
along with Marie Bryant of course

holy cow

Prez wore the pork pie hat
Mingus wrote its elegy two months after he last tipped it


lest or least young people should never forget to fear the quantity of his impact
another example


now inspired to take a deep dive and remind myself
why his tone was the backtune sound to my reading of On The Road
will likely video document here

recorded NYC 1952

Ray Brown - b
J.C. Heard - d
Barney Kessel - g
Oscar Peterson - p
Lester Young - ts

Lester Young & Coleman Hawkins - Live 1958
Jumpin' with the Synphony Sid

Pee Wee Russell, clarinet
Harry Sheppard, vibraphone
Willie “The Lion” Smith, piano

the Charlie Shavers trumpet solo later in the song should not be skipped

A beautiful combination indeed --- Keroauc and Lester. Something to be said for the Pork Pie Hat.
