The Jazz Thread

'Cos we need one.

It's about time someone did.

I was just listening to this a few minutes ago...

Man, this has got to be one of my all-time favorite tunes.

And now, for something completely different

The there's Pharoah Sanders. Couldn't find a whole version of this track, but this is a great sample of it. Bliss out.

And of course, I bow to the master:

Moondog. Such beauty coming from a blind vagrant Norse god living in the streets of New York City. AKA The Viking of 6th Avenue...

Hey, we're getting the good stuff here - I love the Ayler btw.

Crazy theme, that one. Ever try singing it? (We don't hear it until the end on the video.)

Trivia: The title "Evidence" was chosen because the tune is based on the changes of "Just You, Just Me", which could be shortened to "Just Us", which sounds like "Justice" and, in order for justice to be done, one must have....

I like the Town Hall clip just because it has all that chatting around and hanging about in it Here's another version.... sing-a-long now everybody

Love Moondog! Amazing.

How about some ladies?

And for those of your into more difficult stuff, this song was the first time I'd ever heard free jazz skronk done with vocals:

She REALLY gets going in the second part of this video

I didn't know Dr. Mario stole that first theme...

[THWOTH]

@Tbickle: Thanks for the Rollins - I hadn't come across that one before. The melody never stops when Rollins is soloing.

And what about the beret? Only a few can get away with that.

Not strictly Jazz, but checkout Mr Rollins with Mr Cohen, and see what happens when two forces of nature collide...

Pharaoh's not bad for an old guy eh? ANd though Sandborn has all the chops he doesn't quite get to he heart of the matter does he? Anyway, a great historical document into 80s fashion nonetheless!

[Kaleid]

That's some good stuff there, Thwothy. I especially liked it towards the end

Anyway, a great historical document into 80s fashion nonetheless!

Or lack, thereof

[THWOTH]

Too right <K>

And we can't have a Jazz thread without a banjo now can we?

[Launion]

is woody herman classed as jazz or just swing




and did he use tobacco products

[THWOTH]

I think he swung both ways, and other ways too.

[Made of Stars]

My iPhone wake-up music.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQC1OcxROTo[/youtube]

Starts out nice and gentle and rolls into a drum solo if you're having a little difficulty getting up.

[THWOTH]

Splendid stuff MoS. Put me in mind of this other Brubeck tune, here done by Paddy Milner's band in Paris.

Makes you think of all those great moments missed before the invention of the mobile camera-phone.
