Thank you Steve. I m watchinchg from Duisburg in Germany, and your Postings are a discovery! I learnd a lot about Musik and it makes my Life a lot Colotorfull!
I met Mose Allison in Denver after seeing his show at a club. He had done all the favorites, Parchment Farm (place is filled with rustic charm) and Your Mind is on Vacation ( but your mouth is workin' overtime ). I just ran into him on the street after the gig by accident. He was much different than you might imagine. He was a kind, soft spoken Southern gentleman. The nicest, most humble guy imaginable. I had been a huge fan in high school and meeting and chatting with him was a thrill. Thanks for bringing back that memory Steve.
I had the biggest grin on my face watching Steve geek out About Duke Ellington and Mose Allison. That feeling you have when enjoying these records was Conveyed!
Mose is strictly jazz in my mind. I saw him in Denver or Boulder , somewhere in Colorado. Afterwords i bumped into him on the street as he was leaving the club, quite accidentally. I was a huge fan and conveyed that, and he was so nice. A genteel Southern gentleman, soft spoken and kind, completely down to Earth. No pretense, a lovely man.
I collect CDs which I play on a classic Fisher tube stereo system.. mostly jazz blues and doo wop music.. it's great to see folks who are very passionate about music and the listening process..🎶
Saw Thelonious Monk play, Free Trade Hall, Manchester,UK ( 1961) other half of concert was Art Blakey Jazz Messengers, with Lee Morgan and Bobby Timmons. Saw Miles at same venue ( 1960 ) Miles had green Trumpet, first time I had ever seen a green trumpet. Interesting how something's stick in the mind. All my best wishes to all people who love Jazz.
Nice picks. I will definitely check out that Shelly Manne. I can die happy b/c on a cross country trip circa 1988, I wound up at the Vine St. Bar and Grill one early evening while Mose was doing a residency on a white baby grand. I'd been a Mose fan since college. It was a great night. Few people in the audience though. I was like, This is Mose Allison in downtown L.A.! Where is everybody?
My jazz discovery was once I bought a generic jazz cassette tape for light listening. The playing blew me away, but as it was a cheap cassette, I had no clue what recording it was. I knew it was Ben Webster. Beyond that, it took me nearly 40 years and with Google to learn that it was Ben Webster's Montmartre Jazzhus, Copenhagen, 1965. The recording? There is one passage in which you can hear a wine glass falling onto the floor and rolling from right to left before abruptly being silenced.
Yo! Steve! Hello and good evening to you. I haven't finished the video, but had to tell you my fave Cornell lp, and cd was "Spaces with John you know who. Loved it easy back then, haven't played it in a while. Also had the good fortune to see Miles @ the Quiet Knight in Chicago. He was playing with Cobham, Keith Jarrett Airto M. And it was like a dream! I couldn't believe it. It was so very cold, my feet were freezing... hard to be fashionable and warm @ the same time. Stumbled across this vid, but would like to nominate The Joe Farrel quartet doing "Follow Your Heart" as my absolute fave sax solo of all time, and I am quite confident that other beautiful gems await discovery as I proceed forward. Thank you so very much. Best regards, TL.
I've been very lucky. I found my copy of Shelly Manne "My Fair Lady" in thrift shop. While on that subject, I would also recommend Shelly Manne and His Men - Son Of A Gunn - another LP record I found in a thrift shop.
I love that "social distancing" is making friends "technologically closer"!!! I already had a few meals over the internet with friends... In person would be better but sometimes it's not possible and the ingenuity is wonderful! Thx guys.
I built my CD Jazz collection by Columbia House and BMG memberships for years! Same way, selected jazz albums by reputation and description not having heard them first but loving many as a result.
It’s great that you choose the My fair lady selection by Manne and Previn. I think it’s one of the best cut jazz discs ever and very unknown ! I found it by mistake and what a find !
Steve, this is one your best videos. I wish you can do one on your tenure with Chesky records, I’ m a big fan of Chesky records, specially the recordings from Ana Caram, Paquito D Rivera, McCoy Tyner and all the great musicians that recorded for Chesky.
My favorite LC song.......so much so that I hadn' t listened to the other side of the lp for 40 years........turns out that side is pretty great too!!!
I saw Larry Coryell at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester NY in 1973. He opened for Chick Corea (&RTF). Got both of those on vinyl shortly thereafter.
Hey Steve, that Monk LP suggestion was outstanding. I'm just streaming it and "WOW", what an amazing sounding live recording. The music is fantastic too, but the quality of the recording just blows me away. Those Columbia 360 LPs always ("well... almost always") sounded killer. Great suggestion. 👽🖖"Na-nu"
If you started listening to classical and jazz, it’s easier to understand other musical forms. As opposed to the other way around. I started listening to Bowie, The Clash, ABBA, Donna Summer, Elvis Costello, etc and making my way through classical and jazz. So far I’m getting Wagner, Jobim, Sinatra (basically my dad’s musical taste).
I classify Mose under jazz. I've got the bulk of his albums....been a long time fan. The problem with Mose is that his albums are not overly consistent. His best are sublime and as you said lyrically nimble and clever. Good job boys - thanks!
@@raynewcomb337 I think that period from about 62-68 he really peaked. so Any of those albums, excluding Swingin' Machine. Then there are 2 others: his first album 'Back Country Suite' mostly a piano album, always gets spoken about highly for his piano playing style (not one of my favs) & mid 70's 'Your Mind is on Vacation' (great). People seemed to really like 'Middle Class White Boy' of the early 80's - I guess in my mind it didn't live up to his very best. Oh & 'Gimcracks & Gewgaws' of the late 90's was pretty good, sort of a return to form, but far from his peak (imo). There are a number of compilations & if somebody was just starting out getting into Mose or wanted a good overview of his better tracks, I suggest to check out one of them. 'Allison Wonderland' anthology (2 x cd) was excellent - put out by Rhino, their other compilation not so. Late 80's compilations 'Best of' & 'Greatest Hits'. Likely either one of those as a starting place. Enjoy!
To say that the Duke is singing on Moon Maiden is slightly exaggerated^^ And since everybody into Jazz probably has at least one Duke album in their list, here is mine Duke Elington live at Newport 1958 - I love everything about ithis one and Mahalia Jackson is simply the icing on a perfect cake \o/
I spoke to Ken about Intimate Ellington Lp a few years ago. It has organist Wild Bill Davis on "Some summer fun" which is a joyous and funky track. Presenting Red Mitchell is another great sounding contemporary release. The few Contemporary titles under Leroy Vinnegar name are well worth getting.
Hello, i am looking for a track/ album for several years now, maybe you have any idea, thank you for any help in advance. THis is the info i can provide: i heard the track before 2018. Style is contemporary (i would say say, the record is from at least the 90s, maybe even from 2000-2017). Now the track starts with a single note on an electric piano. the key is stroke a few times, each time a little hard. Then the piano plays an intro. After the, a larger (4?5?6? players) horn section comes in playing tutti. it's not a slow track, it's quite forward, but as said, rather modern. it's not acid jazz, not funk or similar, rather like modern UK style or french or german like Nils Wogram, but it also could be an anthem international record ( though it does not sound like "tribal style conscious jazz). Do you maybe have any idea? i guess there are not too many tracks, that start with that repeated not on one key on an electric piano. thank you so much!
Three songs in on The Intimate Ellington and now on song four I find this to be distilled funk. Funk boiled down and slimmed down with a lot of room but funky happening before what I know as funk ever happened. 👌🏻
A rare confluence of factors; a well executed live album, capturing one of the greatest live acts at their creative and performing peak. Townsend, Entwistle, and Moon, ... all drove one another into spectacular, frenzied, powerhouse of rock-n-roll. It was a transcending time, their contemporaries were killin' it too, Zeppelin, James Brown, the Doors, the Stones, and of course Sly and the Family Stone... all these superstars were legendary live acts. However, Live at Leeds, a powerhouse at their peak.
Hey Steve - Great anecdote about Miles. The On The Corner-style band did not exist before 1972, and in fact it did not exist after 1972 either. It was a style that Miles only cultivated during 1972 - in fact, for only a few months in 1972, because Miles Davis broke his leg part way through the year and did not reemerge until early 1973, by which time his sound had changed. Another point interests me: I was not even aware that Miles was using a red trumpet before the 1980s.
Steve, somebody needs to do a video about how vintage audio components age- what’s the more important factor-how many hours it has been used or how many years it has been around (regardless of age). That’s too simplistic but we need your experience to shed some light on this...Nobody seems to discuss this but think how often us musicians focus on vintage equipment and the value of aging to the instrument...
Filter capacitors don't age well. I'd replace all of them if they're more than 40 years old (pre-1980 manufacture). When they fail they usually short circuit and take out several other components downstream.
I never hear anyone speaking of Ben Sidran. a his stuff man some great sounding records. full of great music just pick out anything imho mr Sidran has been making great music forever.
@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 wow.we obviously hear different sounds here. or you may be unfamiliar with his catalog. the people he plays with are pretty amazing look at the cast of characters. Blue Mitchell, tony levin, the brecker brothers, the list of people playing with him Steve Gadd, is by itself pretty amazing I cant even begin to name them Michael Becker's cover of i remember Clifford Brown is amazing imho
@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 so I have been checking out some Ben Sidran records and he actually produced a lp for Mose Allison and also Jon Hendricks. but most of his music is original and interesting. recorded really well and with fantastic side men. Like Steve Gadd, Blue Mitchell, Joe Henderson the list is actually quite impressive Richard Davis, the Brecker brothers, Tony levin actually too many to mention.
Did a series of paintings of Miles, Mingus (see my avitar(?) and Duke for the Musical Heritage Society diversion called Jazz Heritage, now sorta gone. Dig your taste. I'm a Hard Bop fan too, like Horace Silver and Art Blakey.
You might want to check out "Moanin'" by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. It's considered one of the best exemplars of driving, funky hard bop jazz. All I know is that it's a stunning record.
By the way, I'm expecting some benefits from this virus situation, equalizing for example the number of subscribers between channels. Ken deserves it, he is giving PARADISE FOR FREE. COME ON!!!!
I came to Monk...backwards......through " Old and New Dreams" ( Ornette' s old band with Dewey Redmond on Sax instead of Ornette)....then explored Don Cherry' s beginnings, and ended up at the lp " Evidence"..which is Cherry and Steve Lacy playing Monk.....and I was hooked!!!
Kind of Blue made jazz modern. A love supreme made it avant garde. I love West Side Story but it is not jazz. I still have my mom's copy in vinyl from the sixties. My mom had a professional voice. She loved Sinatra in the forties and thought he stopped practicing in the sixties and by that time she thought his voice sucked.
Steve, the LP you where looking for in your house but couldn´t find, I´m pretty sure it was Larry Coryell at The Village Gate recorded jan 21st and 22nd 1971 (Vanguard VSD 6573). Right? Where you there then at the Village Gate? Wonderful recording with mesmerizing guitar. Very good HIFI recording by the way with "natural" drums and bass sound. Ken why not review Coryells recordings from Freesprits up to Spaces in one of your own videos? And Steve I´m completley with you on the others on the list like West Side Story and Frank Sinatra. On the Corner great LP, brash and Funky and very modern stuff still.
Not sure I was in the audience for the Coryell sessions, but I saw him there many times. I remember one time trying to pick up a girl, who later told me she thought I was Joe Walsh!
Thank you Steve. I m watchinchg from Duisburg in Germany, and your Postings are a discovery! I learnd a lot about Musik and it makes my Life a lot Colotorfull!

Had several, but never listened to portraits before. Wonderful! Picked it up. Thanks!
You’re so lucky to be able to have seen Miles live. Thanks for sharing that story!
He said he was overwhelmed (stoned probably 😂).

I first heard Monk in my early twenties and was completely blown away. It just clicked for me. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one.
Nice list Steve. That “Concert Sinatra” recorded live on a Hollywood soundstage is amazing.
Layy coryell & Philip Catherine ( SPENDID ) what a head rush Hrs on End -thanks for Reminding me,have not played in yrs
Monk is what just recently got me into jazz. Him and Brubeck.
The Shelly Manne album is a phenomenal recording with stereo separation that is outstanding.

Try " Barefoot Boy" , my favorite LC record
Many thanks for this, I am getting all of these to test out on my new (1964) Fisher.
