Far be it from me to drag you all away from Tumblr, but I’ve started a new blog for my longer, written, music posts. It’s not specifically jazz related, all styles and genres are welcome. I would love to see you all over there sometime …. in the mean time I shall continue to post music here too!
Hank Mobley - Snappin’ Out
One of the things I love best about Yusef Lateef is the fact that his albums can go from beautiful, smooth mid-tempo numbers like ‘All Alone’ (here), through to experiements in oriental sounds with an array of instruments - sometimes in the same track (Anastacia).
‘Other Sounds’ is one of those albums, with the first two tracks being those above. The final track on the first half of the LP is then a hard-bop style piece, just to throw you again. But everything hangs together so well, there’s no feeling of disorientation!
Howard Roberts - Dirty Bossa Nova
I’ll always reblog Howard Roberts….
(via jazzrelatedstuff)
Not such a well known Supremes track, but a good one - “I’m livin in shame’
Diana Ross and the Supremes - Love Child
I’ve always felt this is an incredible song, and a stunning vocal performance from Annie Haslam.
Renaissance - Ocean Gypsy.
Listening to the White Album, even the dodgy stuff like ‘Piggies’ and then this, the country parody ‘Rocky Raccoon’, which is great!
Raunchy Rita - Heavy Sounds - Elvin Jones & Richard Davis (by Rafael Garcia)
Yes! For part 7 of your Sunday Playlist, a re-blog of this. Raunchy Rita by Elvin Jones and Richard Davis. Heavy indeed!
