Orpheus & Rok2id - hopefully not completely hijacking this thread but possibly taking it on a little off road excursion that iwill get it back to your intended course in short order....
The recent exchange about "rap" reminded me of something I heard on WXPN (adult alternative public radio out of Phila.) several years ago. It was, I think, a "pre-rap" song the gist of the lyric being that Jesus was a black man...went into some detail on His lineage justifying this take on Him. VERY powerful and literate. I'd love to listen to it again but have not been able to find it. My sense of the period it was from is probably late '60s maybe '70s. I have searched old radical black groups,black poets from the era to no avail. Hoping this might trigger a memory with you. Thanks in advance. |

Sorry for the double post above. But, Rok2id, YES! a group like the Last Poets might have done what I heard but as best I can tell what I'm looking for was not by them. Please advise if otherwise Thank again. |
Rok-not to worry. Thanks for the reply. We'll get it figured out. Hoping maybe Orpheus has an idea. Crazy times indeed. Creativity busting out all over. In the intervening years...money & lawyers have f'd up a lot of things

Hang around this thread long enough, even a white boy like me could get educated. Yeah... I know. Not PC. Too bad. Heard a Euphonium for the first time live only recently. In church. Beautiful sounding instrument. The kid playing had great tone. Got to check out Roland Kirk. Heard the name don't know his music. |
Because of this discussion I will listen to Stravinsky's "Symphony of Psalms" later today. To my ear, there is beauty there. Is it the beauty of Debussy or Ravel? No. For me, it is something more austere, transcendent and moving. |
If I might intrude (thread watcher but not a jazz aficionado) - what are opinions about Soft Machine (e.g., '5')? This is a hugely long thread so apologies if they've already been discussed. Very curious what the usual suspects posting here think! |
Rok - Thanks for your reply and especially for giving Soft Machine a listen. I'm definitely interested in your opinion and that of Orpheus and Frogman. Beyond the heavily improvisational nature of their music I don't know if what they play is jazz either. But then, I probably can't tell you what jazz is to begin with. At any rate, if you do Spotify and are interested, you can find a lot more of Soft Machine there. I owned '5' long ago. Was glad to rediscover it the other night. it's a bit of a stretch for me but not totally out of reach. It holds my interest.
By the way, if the time machine has moved into the '80s, and guitarists like Metheny and Scofield are going to get mentioned - don't forget Ralph Towner (although start with him in the 70s). Check out Solstice with Garbarek, Weber & Christensen or Dis w/Garbarek. Don't know if this stuff is jazz either (although I'm not trying to pollute the thread!).
Ciao |
Hello Mapman - Yes, I'm recently aware of Soft Machine's Canterbury/psychedelic connection, though by the time of 5, I don't think there's much left of that sound. Did not know their influence on Prog Rock or your Caravan. Interesting you should mention Miles and Bitches Brew. I was thinking about Miles while listening to Soft Machine last night. There's definitely a connection (at least in my mind). A similar sort of (free-form?) loose improvisational structure maybe. But not so out there and cacophonous as something I once heard by Pharaoh Sanders (and hope to never again). I'll have to pull out In A Silent Way and compare that as well. |
Rok - Thanks for the Mary Lou Williams link. |
|
Merry Christmas to you Rok.
BTW - I was thinking about you, Orpheus and the other regulars that post to this thread. Wanted to recommend to all that haven't heard it yet, Allen Toussaint's "The Bright Mississippi". It is a really wonderful recording. Called jazz by some (though to my ear, not in the same way as something by Miles or Coltrane...the songs date from an earlier time). At any rate, it's a 2009 release and, as usual, I'm late to the party having just discovered it. So if this is old news, apologies for that...nevertheless might be a good reminder and something worth dusting off to listen to again. Happy New Year to you all. |
Glad you enjoy it too, Rok. I actually did search on Bright Mississippi and saw a number of old posts about it but didn't quickly find any that were specific to Jazz Aficionados. Would have been surprising had it not been discussed (and gotten some love) in this thread.
I'm a lot more a blues/rock "aficionado" than jazz so what surprises me about this recording is how much it holds my interest. It isn't music I'd have predicted liking, but it absolutely swings.
"...music of New Orleans. Without which, there would be no Jazz." - very true.

Greetings O. Wasn't gonna visit long but you threw out this long lasso and hauled me back. :-) I LIKED that Vince Guaraldi. Tried to find info on the other musicians playing. Guitar work impressed me. Not finding "A Taste of Honey" or "Ballad of Pancho Villa" listed in Wiki for Vince. I do see credits for his work with one, Bola Sete. Is that who is playing? And what is the actual recording, a compilation? Melody sounded somewhat familiar but not exactly like A Taste of Honey that I remember from when Herb Alpert was getting airplay with it. Clue me in, please. In line with, "all flesh is grass"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGmQXuySF28&ab_channel=AUGUSTUS66ful |
@alexatpos Thank you for that generous and informed reply. I will look into Eddie Duran and check out those various links you provided. See if this link works for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7R6UoOkF6M&ab_channel=RWThis is not the same link as what Orpheus posted but it is a version of Taste of Honey, a track on "From All Sides". Ballad of Pancho Villa (the link from O you could not open) appears to be a YouTube playlist with 27 Vince G tracks. Track 4 is Ballad of P.V.. Track 5 is Taste of Honey. Credits... From All Sides Bass – Fred Marshall Drums – Jerry Granelli Guitar – Bola Sete Piano – Vince Guaraldi "A Taste Of Honey" by Bola Sete |
Pardon the non-commercial interruption... Just wanted to reply to Orpheus' previous posts and pay a compliment to Leon Thomas. At the risk of trivializing his talent, I want to say, "what a nice voice". When he's singing a lyric...no posturing just a certain naturalness and purity about it - at least in the limited listening I've done so far as a result of Jafant's Pharaoh Sanders recommendations. If you will further indulge me in an unsolicited 2 cents on the more recent jazz bassist topic...check out Tony Levin (yes I know, not a jazz-only bassist) playing with Andy Summers. They do a great version of Afro Blue. It's on "The Last Dance of Mr. X. There was a YouTube video of them playing it live...can't find it now, however. For Rok on in-performance interactions between musicians. On the off-chance he's not already seen it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuCbQCnoIzI Ciao |
Thanks for the Caterina Valente, Orpheus. Not my usual listening but those certainly open a window back to another time, "In the days before rock 'n; roll" to quote Van. How did things get so f'd up? Love the somewhat busy string arrangement on The Breeze and I. More and more these days, those arrangers are my heroes. Kind of working off camera, if you will. Just another comment on Leon...he's someone who serves the music. Not the other way around as is too much the case nowadays where so often music is just a convenient vehicle for self-promotion. Talk about killer arrangements. Please give a listen to the following. The LP is good but let's cut to the chase...the main point can be heard by dropping your needle right down at 20:30. For me this is absolutely one of the best songs EVER. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayW8uK1JwTE Kinda sad to me that Curtis got a lot more credit for a song that William wrote and recorded first! Hope you will enjoy it. Jafant - listening right now to Hartman with Coltrane. My amateur opinion is that Johnny's vocal style is a bit more studied than Leon's. I hear Sinatra (or maybe even a bit of Dean Martin) in Johnny's "tone" (not talking influences, just similarities), Leon's style is more "naive" and his tone quite different to my ear. I think Donny's voice is slightly higher pitched than Leon when comparing the two signing a straight lyric (it changes when Leon does that yodeling!). This might raise some eyebrows but when I listen to Leon getting into the mid and lower half of his range, I hear shades of Barry White. Barry's generally a whole lot deeper but the two have a similar kind of rich tone. Upper half, I'm thinking Nat King Cole. (Hope no one decides to throw stones now!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSYwGEiowHg |
YAW, Jafant - as ever, a pleasure to talk about the music. Hey Rok - when you get a chance, check this out. Curious what you think of it (hoping it is new to you but pro'ly. not). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuCbQCnoIzI Ciao. |
Orpheus - apologies but you will have to connect the dots for me on the why for the Grant Green bio. Don't misinterpret my comments as being down on musicians getting paid and making money. It's more a case of their priorities...doing what they love first and eventually getting paid or producing a contrived product calculated to "sell". That's the best I can explain what makes m crazy about "the industry". When you are inclined, let me know why you brought up Mr. Green. Thanks. |
Orpheus - OK. I getcha. No argument from me on the "artist" not always getting their fair share "back in the day". Plenty of examples even outside jazz where unscrupulous agents and managers ripped off their clients. Sad story about Grant Green. Was reading about Jaco Pastorius the other day. Another tragedy. The business model does seem to have changed for the better in many ways. |
|
Rok - thanks so much for that Wynton Marsalis. The sound is EXCELLENT on it. For one reason and another a bit of a downer kind of day but it is putting a smile on my face. REALLY liked the opening Horace Silver piece. Wynton's solo on Inner Urge was fantastic. The whole thing has my toes tapping. Thanks again. I feel like I know sh** about jazz; so much of this is new and great fun. Thanks again.
re the Mingus performance/film...I would have loved to just hang with those guys. Pack up their gear or whatever; watch rehearsals (now that would really be something).
Later. Ciao.
|
Rok -
I think he's sort of conducting...counting off so they all hit the (time signature?) change together. Clarinets come in for a little break and then the trombone guy solos.
Loved how everybody was really watching the drummer on his solo last part of Poco Loco. What a great show. Just want to say again, I really enjoyed that whole thing. Held my interest all the way through. THANKS.
|
Hey Frogman - Thanks for your insights into preparations for that Mingus sextet performance. "...that solo by Dolphy is deliciously strange." :-) Well said. I'm no Dolphy-ologist but the little I know, that seems to be the story on him. Zappa certainly appreciated him. (Yet another who died too soon). http://www.allmusic.com/song/eric-dolphy-memorial-barbecue-mt0010976240 |
Lost childhood, lost friends and regrets - certainly not unique to you alone, O. Thanks for sharing those memories. I hope the words in this song are true... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdtAfUtOEWA I don’t believe it’s all for nothing It’s not just written in the sand Sometimes I thought you felt too much And you crossed into the shadow land And the river was overflowing And the sky was fiery red You gotta play the hand that’s dealt ya That’s what the old man always said Fallen angel Casts a shadow up against the sun If my eyes could see The spirit of the chosen one In my dream the pipes were playing In my dream I lost a friend Come down Gabriel and blow your horn ’Cause some day we will meet again |
Orpheus - I suspect we aren't that different, age-wise. Childhood: what a mixed bag...dreams and nightmares but definitely, some magical moments. |
Hello @frogman
Coincidentally, I was checking in briefly this morning. Been spending more time lately on Head-fi.org. Anyway, I will check out that GITarr player on the Blanchard clip. Still owe Alex a listen to his suggestions.
In support of your position, I respect the heck out of Orpheus' and Rok's depth of knowledge about and enthusiasm for "old school jazz" but seems needlessly restrictive to draw a circle around that and dismiss content that falls outside it...regardless of wardrobe.
I'd also suggest time has exerted a filtering effect making more obvious the great material produced "back in the day". BUT I suspect, living in the moment back then, there would have been an equal amount of "sad stuff" cluttering up the musical landscape. We don't have the perspective provided by the passage of time to accurately assess all contemporary jazz. Let's talk about it again 50 years down the road. |
You know visiting this thread is like dropping in on a friend living in an apartment with thin walls whose neighbors are a loud and dysfunctional family. Kind of interesting, odd and funny all at the same time. Just sayin’.... |
|
|
Thanks for those John Handy tracks, Orpheus. A bit like something from the ECM label (well, those two tracks anyway). Hope you are getting stronger and pain is decreasing. |
|
Frogman...just dropped by. Haven’t read any of the preceding but did listen to the first couple tracks of that Wes Montgomery "Twisted Blues" clip you linked. Very nice. Might have to look for that as a recording. THANKS
BTW (for Rok’s sartorial edification) as far as I’m concerned, Wes’ fashion look (white tab collar dress shirt with skinny black tie) NEVER went out of style. 50 years later, he is still a sharp-dressed man.

Chuck Berry 10/18/26 - 3/18/17.
Looks like 2017 is going to continue apace as 2016.
Nobody getting any younger.
Back to Memphis - Chuck Berry
I’ve been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living
Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving
I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama
The only clothes I got left that ain’t rags is my pajamas
No brotherly love, no help, no danger
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers
I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas
You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner
I’m going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station
I’ve got just enough money to pay my transportation
I’m going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas
Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning
I know everything will be all right in the morning
You can walk down Beale Street wearing your pajamas....
Now THOSE are some great lyrics. Always put a smile on my face hearing them.
Thanks, Chuck. RIP

@frogman - pleased you enjoyed the Bunny Brunel clip. YES! Frank Gambale...you are exactly right about that For me it was a bit of serendipity as I'd recently been enjoying Steve Smith/Vital Information "Come On In". Became aware of Gambale there. Great sound. Great inventive playing I thought. The SQ on that Momentum recording...even from Spotify is really really good.
@rok2id - You have much to offer in this thread as you have repeatedly demonstrated. While I understand you disagree with Frogman (and others) on various matters related to jazz and "audiophilia", ridicule does not advance your position(s). It has progressed beyond childish and tedious to generally unpleasant, becoming a good reason not to follow this thread or at least your contributions to it. |
Hope you will allow me, a jazz dilettante (and not an aficionado!) to jump in with a question on Lee Morgan. Years ago (70s/80s)I recall enjoying an LP of his, "Live At The Lighthouse". Confusing me now is that when I look at cover photos for this record, most seem to show him sitting (in sand under a boardwalk?). My recollection of that LP was a black and white photo of him on an all black cover. Might have been playing into a microphone...not sure. Anyone know what I might be talking about? Do I picture correctly The Lighthouse LP? or is there something else by him that looked the way I remember?? THANKS in advance for any attention you might care to give this bit of trivia/nostalgia. I'm looking on line and yet to see the album that I seem to recall.
|
Thanks, Rok. Thanks Frogman.
What I remember is closer to the photo Frogman found (used on Disc 3 of the box set, I guess) though I don’t recall the funky Hawaiian shirt he’s wearing. I looked at the release versions listed in AllMusic (and on Discogs) but did not see a vinyl version that matched that photo. Maybe my memory of the album cover is faulty. I am certain it was Live at the Lighthouse and something I had on vinyl.
Rok interesting to note there were 2 different Lee Morgan albums called, "Live at the Lighthouse" but one has ’70 in the title. The one with ’70 in the title is kind of bogus. It was NOT actually recorded at the Lighthouse but rather at another SanFran club ("Both/And" according to a reviewer on Amazon) some weeks before the Lighthouse dates. That is the $20 CD on A’zon but it is NOT the one to get, apparently. Sound quality is reportedly bad. 3CD box set from the Lighthouse dates is the one to get...used for around $60. (I see that $587 version...maybe it’s a typo!...misplaced decimal).
FWIW - Spotify has the 3 CD box set version. They also have "Search for the New Land" Orpheus mentioned. Gonna be checking that later. The "more abstract" comment he made is intriguing.
Thanks to you both for looking.
|
Hello again Orpheus (regards to Frogman and Rok)...
I listened to Lee’s "Search for The New Land". I was glad to see this concept of "abstract" getting a little discussion before I responded to you here. I do think we have different things in mind when using or hearing the word, "abstract". For me Search was immediately accessible...not a painful or tedious exercise at all. More structured, melodic and rewarding than I expected.
I might be mixing things together inappropriately (probably am). When I hear abstract I expect a less/loosely structured composition possibly with elements of dissonance, and "free jazz"; sometimes a "difficult" listen.
I admittedly lack the music theory training to better describe what "abstract" means to me, so I’ll give a few examples of things that I consider abstract. (A number of things on the ECM label, as it turns out). Look forward to comments from yourself and others if this topic (how to define abstract as applied to jazz) seems worth pursuing. Maybe you won’t even think some of what I’ve listed qualifies (A) As Jazz and (B) As abstract! That’s OK too...I’m interested in other points of view.
In A Silent Way
Love Supreme
Out to Lunch
Rheomusi (Fabiano Araujo et al)
Dis (Jan Garbarek & Ralph Towner)
Magico (Garbarek w/Haden & Gismonti)
Sol Do Meio Dea (Gismonti)
I’m not saying I’m right and you’re wrong applying "abstract" to Search - please don’t misunderstand - but given my expectations for the word, Search for a New Land didn’t seem all that abstract to me.
BTW - quite the stellar group of musicians on that record. I really liked Wayne Shorter’s solo right before and through the 4 minute mark on Pirate Morgan.
|
Gotcha Orpheus. Good point about the contrast between Sidewinder and Search. Have to remember to also view these things in the context of the times in which they were released.
I'll give a listen to the music on the link you provided. Also, found "Evolution" on Spotify and will listen more to that later. Interesting that on track 1/Air Raid I swear I heard a melody or progression that sounded like something from a Steely Dan or maybe a Donald Fagen solo recording. Will listen again. Would not surprise me at all if that pair borrowed something.
Do you consider Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" abstract?
|
"If Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" ain't abstract, grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry, and Mona Lisa was a man."
O - Okay! So Out to Lunch is a good example of "abstract" to both of us.
"Some of my favorite musicians are crazy about 'Eric Dolphy'; it must have been his personality. If I owned this record, I would leave it at a friends house, and give him a ring when I wanted to hear it."
That's pretty funny. And I appreciate your candor.
I want to like Dolphy because people I think know more than I do say there's something there. BUT he's a real tough listen for me. Something I have to work at. Eventually (maybe) with enough listening what he's doing will start to sink in - but not without work. The opposite of accessible! And time being short, got to ask...is it worth the effort?That's rhetorical.
My bro-in-law is a gifted musician. Runs a "boutique" studio blah blah blah. Bottom line...I respect his o-pinion. Long time ago he had this Brecker Bros. album. Don't recall the name but it sure wasn't the Beatles Love Me Do. Weird time signatures and complex rhythms. I remember him describing it to me as "musician's music". High technical content...not too much for the layperson to grab onto right away. That's kind of how I see (hear) Dolphy. By the way though, sound quality on the Rudy Van Gelder remastered version on Spotify is really good. Some very interesting percussion sounds. I'm guessing it was a very good recording from the get go.

Hello acman3. I had recently become aware of Esbjorn Svensson because of an album by Magnus Ostrom, "Thread of Life". This is one that might be interesting to you. Ostrom played drums with the E.S. Trio. At any rate, I’ve spent some time with E.S.T’s "Tuesday Wonderland" and also sampled briefly, "From Gagarin’s Point of View". I liked the trio’s rendition of "Dodge the Dodo" that you posted. I prefer this to that with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic. Making of EST Symphony will be of interest, of course. Thanks for posting these links. Hope you will check out Thread of Life and the two other EST recordings (if you aren’t already familiar with them). By the way, at least based on Dodge the Dodo, I think there’s a little bit of similarity in music by the Noel Cowley Trio (e.g., the LP "Spacebound Apes"). They are more pop/rock influenced, but you might also hear what I do. I don’t like too many promotional videos. Prefer performance clips as you provided. Unfortunately, that’s all I quickly found for NCT this time around (had posted "She Eats Flies" a while back). Do love the chords in this one. Love the chord changes too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh5WYBT0rs0&ab_channel=neilcowleytrioThanks again for the E.S.T links. I find this music interesting and enjoyable. |
|
Thanks for the recommendation Orpheus. Enjoying the piano solo around the 3 minute mark on Capra Black. Lee is certainly looking Miles-ish in that photo. Least it looks that way to me. I do still buy vinyl though most music purchase are CD. Hear something really good on Spotify or YouTube and get it. Burn it to hard drive. Would be hard pressed to explain why and when I buy vinyl...as the spirit moves, I guess. Mostly buy used. Somethings aren't available on CD (e.g., Sugarcane Harris - Keyzop). Have a few of the so-called audiophile re-issues but enjoy finding an old copy of something from back in the day. There's something about listening to music from and holding in your hands something made 40-50 years ago...especially when it still sounds so good. I get it about the snails and raw oysters...I don't have a problem with 'em but then, don't ask me to eat liver or beets. See if you like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDxf6WtbMY8Salve |
Orpheus - Very pleased you liked Sugarcane's Keyzop. He was part of the duo, Don & Dewey way back. His is another sad story of a musician. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_%22Sugarcane%22_HarrisSome of his discography is available on CD...but not that much. See how little Amazon has vs his output. Keyzop isn't on CD but I was fortunate enough to find a good vinyl copy and at a decent price. I have a few other of his recordings on vinyl. Among others, Harris played in Zappa's band. http://www.united-mutations.com/h/sugarcane_harris.htmDon't be put off by the FZ name. Try to ignore the (deserved) stereotype image based around juvenile bathroom humor. Don is on several Zappa albums. As a good example of how Zappa used him, I love his solo during"Little House I Used to Live In" on Burnt Weenie Sandwich. Track starts at 19:13 at link here. Harris' solo starts at 24:28. It soars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBRUcElxhJUAs you say, enjoy the music. |
Gents - If you haven't heard it, check out Alan Pasqua's "The Antisocial Club". You might find it pertinent to your fusion "discussion" and enjoyable too. |
|
I've liked all the Gilliam movies. That one's a little too creepy for comfort. Our future? I hope not but the way things have been unfolding.... |
Hi O - glad to see you posting.
Just wanted to comment about your statement:
"Finding good "new music" is harder than finding gold, but since I've given myself this burden, I shall carry on."
I agree 100%, even if we do have pretty different tastes (though sometimes what we like DOES overlap). Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about my personal search for music that will have me coming back due to composition, performance AND recording quality!. It's like the 800 pound gorilla in the room (or maybe the gorilla that's NOT in the room but should be). Point being there's a lot of discussing and obsessing about the best hardware for audio when the critical variable that can make a mega $ system sound like trash or a mid-fi system sound great is the recording itself! No revelations there I know but just doesn't seem to get enough attention. This thread has been great. Wish there were others like it...one for each music "genre".
|
"New" in the context here, is understood as new to me or you as listeners. Date of composition or first publication/performance pretty much irrelevant.
Found Ahmad Jamal’s "Marseille" on Tidal. The whole album. Not real sure what I think yet. Not a lot going on with that title track. A repeating piano figure over a sort of military drum tattoo. The percussion is maybe the most interesting thing about it. I’ll see how far into the album I get tonight.
...already liking Motherless Child more.
They captured nice tone on his piano. Wonder what kind it is. |
Hello Orpheus et al - Here’s someone’s list of Top 12 Modern Fusion, Jazz-Rock Albums posted to Amazon by "Madrok". https://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/1Y9NNMLBOP8N3These might be worth sampling at the least. I’m not familiar with any of these and only recognized a few names. The Dave Holland "Extensions" recording that I sampled here did NOT seem all that much like Jazz Rock to me but did seem worth further listening if I can find it. Friday Afternoon in the Universe is by Medeski Martin and Wood. I do know them. Own and have listened to Shack Man & Combustication quite often. I believe their stuff is often referred to as "acid jazz". Some of their tracks can be a bit challenging (okay...make that a lot challenging) - too much in a "free jazz" style, I think. I will say the 2 CDs I have are excellent recordings sound quality-wise. Friday Afternoon here sounds pretty good too. Found it on Spotify. Track 1 "The Lover" is pretty accessible. These guys know how to lay down the funk. Hope the list is interesting to you and yields some gems. PS - Please at least TRY track 4 "Last Chance to Dance...." in that MMW Friday Afternoon recording. Love his chords in the piano solo. |
