John Coltrane - Minor Mishap

Wow, I've seen a couple of eye opening things, an indie band in Russia called ***** Riot that got sent to jail over a song about Putin & a Korean jazz (bossa nova) group.

Wes-
I know you said your girls Korean-Amercian, do you understand the language?

John Coltrane - Bahia

Always liked the grove on this song. I read somewhere that a lot of Coltrane's Prestige recordings were released after he left the label & this one was pieced together from 2 different sessions on Rudy Van Gelder's studio...RVG is such a fascinating dude. How many people can say they had a job working with something/people he truly loved & contribute to?

I heard about those girls, didn't know they actually got convicted because of it though. That's ridiculous.

And not at all. Only word I know is thank you, these Koreans own the best wing spot in town and when I say thanks in korean they hook me up with a discount lol

^ I've actually heard of the Winterplay.  They tend to promote Asian bands more here in Asia.  More of a Norah Jones-feel to them.

Anyway, "Royale with Cheese"...

Sonny Clark - Blue Minor & Deep Night

Cool Struttin' is an underrated album...

 

[omgitswes]

I haven't really listened to too much Sonny Clark, but I do have this album and I like it.

 

[Sinner]

Good stuff! 

I don't have the Cool Struttin' album too... will need that!

Getz and Baker.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Picked up Branford Marsalis' new release Four MFs Playin'. Great album...

 

[omgitswes]

It seems like everyday I find another Chet Baker track that I just love.

 

[Sinner]

Time for some Dizzy and Arturo!

Sting - Moon Over Bourbon St (live)

I may have posted this before but I think it was lost when NT changed. This song was originally released in '85 on Sting's Dream Of Blue Turtles. The song was inspired by Anne Rice's Interview With A Vampire waaaaay before vampires became so cool.

Also, this concert was supposed to be live on the web from his home in Tuscany Italy on 9/11/01 which is the day the attacks occurred here in the US. He decided to hold the concert anyway as a way to help with the healing...

I know this isn't necessarily jazz, but at least it has Christian McBride & Chris Botti...Posted this song because it played just know while my Iphone was on shuffle mode...

Guitarist Lionel Loueke has a new album on Blue Note that I think drops today. I love how he mixes African rhythms into his music.

I'm not too knowledgeable about Jazz, but I'm a huge fan of Cal Tjader and Hubert Laws. What are some other artists I might enjoy? thanks in advance

 

[Sinner]

Not too familiar with Law, but I really like Cal Tjader's stuff... 

The few CD's of his that I have are of the samba/bossa nova variety... so perhaps you can start there?

Or do you like jazz with vibes, which in that case you can try artists like Milt Jackson.

Christian Scott - Pyrrhic Victory Of aTunde Adjuah & Jihad Joe

The new Christian Scott is fire. It's a very audacious double album & he really celebrates his 'Nawlins heritage. Just not in the obvious way. This guy took a bold step to the front of the class with this release by not going the r&b - hip hop route some of his young peers have gone recently (yes I'm talking about Glasper).

Miles Davis - Blues By Five

This played in the last episode of season 2 of Treme. Can't wait for the 3rd season to start later this month. The dude that picks the music for this show is my hero...

Red Garland Trio with Coleman Hawkins - Red Beans & Rice

I'm not sure Red garners the same type of attention & Pub as other piano players from the golden age of bebop but he's as solid as a good plate of well...red beans & rice wit' some hot sauce...

Dr. John & Donald Harrison Jr. - Hu Ta Nay

Some mo 'Nawlins funk...Indian Cheif Style...
