Official Jazz thread

[Sinner]

Another Getz tracked. Performed in english by Astrud Gilberto.
Honestly if it wasn't for this thread I would of never got into bossa nova. I've always heard "Girl from Ipanema" and liked it but had no idea who it was by. Someone posted it in here then I looked into more of Stan Getz work, found more Astrud Gilberto and then Bebel Gilberto. I'm still pretty new to bossa nova but I'm def a fan of it now

Nice... Haven't listened to that song in a while.

Was going through my aunt's old records a few years back and found 2 Astrud albums. Gave em all to me cuz she didn't have a record-player anymore... score!

For this next clip, I originally saw a snippet of it back in the early 90's on the "Carnegie Hall Salutes The Jazz Masters" concert VHS.  It stuck in my mind cuz I remember wanting to see the rest of it!  Fast-forward 10+ years later, I was able to find it in its entirety on Youtube...!

Bill Evans Trio - Gloria's Step (take 2)

Live albums can be hit or miss for me, but if you like Bill Evans in a trio. This is good. I pulled this out the other night while making dinner...




Bill Evans - Peace Piece

You might hear elements in this song that sound familiar...

Bill Evans - Some Other Time

I can't remember what album this came from but this track was released with a reissue. It's a cover of a Leonard Bernstein song. Evans than started working on Peace Piece which later became another famous song he collaborated on....Can you guess what it is?

 

[omgitswes]

No idea. Which song is it?

I just found out he did an album with Stan Getz too.

Bill Evans song ended up becoming Flamenco Sketches on Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue. Bill had been working on his album & playing around Leonard Bernstein's song. He then used some of the melodic components for his piece.

Although he recorded Bernstein's Some Other Time during one of his sessions, he didn't have the rights to it. The recording was put on a reissue when the label had the rights.

Evans worked on Kind Of Blue & Miles really liked Evan's Peace Piece so he got the rights to Bernstein's song.

It's funny that some people have issues with hip hop sampling tunes, but it's kinda been going on for a long long time (even preceding jazz). Shoot even writers do it.

That's my little lesson in jazz history for today...Happy Friday....
