some stuff from the "trippier" end of the jazz spectrum "Kamili" "Blue Nile" also pretty much anything with Prince Lasha, and some of Leon Thomas' Flying Dutchman stuff. Wouldn't call these guys especially ou…

Not that you shouldn't visit Jonny first, of course

I think Greg Caz (who did those samba/funk mixes that turntablelab hawks) still works at Academy. They don't have tons of Brazilian records on the floor, but they have some... don't know how much of the really hot stuff makes it out in the bins, bu…

damn!

Sounds like Sonny agrees (here) "...and then the next record was in '75, Paradise, for Atlantic... not a good album. We used a bunch of young cats, it's not their fault that it wasn't a good album, but it's my fault because I couldn't really put t…

These are all fantastic albums: I still haven't heard this one yet But bootlegs by this quintet are I used to have one from the 1969 Antibes festival that was just insane. Corea was not[/b] fucking around in those days. That …

It might as well be a whole different band, but Is This The Future[/b] is definitely a pleasure. Maybe more for the moder soul/electro set, but still. The moog bass and that newscaster guy on the title cut is killing it.
-
yeah, The Phantom is a great one. It's not usually given the accolades typically handed out to other classic Blues Noes by the people who write books about these sorts of things, but for my money it's a fantastic album that holds up. The sound is…

apropos of "unreleased" Blue Notes, this one has to be my favorite: Nigeria[/b] (can't find a jpg of the much nicer Japanese cover; it's also on the Grant/Sonny Clark 2cd set) Grant Green, Art Blakey and Sonny Clark = Grant sounds sooo raw,…

Not really country murder ballads, but this guy is certainly backwoodsy, paranoid, and creepy (and recently mentioned in another thread?)

This may be old news, but if any NYC strutters haven't seen this yet, Spook Who Say by the Door is playing at BAM this weekend. Happy Fourth of July!

Shit sandwich.

If anyone's still curious, there are some lengthy soundclips here.

My thoughts exactly. This one is somewhat overlooked, but a favorite of mine. More modal, less typical Blue Note hard bop.

Yeah, he's done transcriptions of like 500+ Coltrane solos (I'm pretty sure), covering pretty much everything dude ever played on. I had no idea about his electric bass work, though. He's also on these two:

Sammy Davis Jr + Count Basie[/b] "Work Song" some obvious ones: Coltrane - My Favorite Things Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra Donny Hathaway - What's Going On (maybe not really a "remake" though) some personal favorites: Gary Bartz/Andy Bey - …

cosign on Black Saint. I'm also a huge supporter of this one: which was recorded at some of the same sessions. Maybe it doesn't get as much love as it should because it's mostly re-recordings of older compositions, but damn, it's just incred…

Hc***k who doesn't buy ECM because he is a "jazz snob" That's funny to me, because I always associate ECM more with "jazz snobs" who turn their noses up at any jazz with a backbeat or covers of 70's pop tunes. Is this thread really about the val…

You can find the 12" version on a cheap 2lp comp called "Steppin' Out - Disco's greatest hits" (Polydor 1978 / 2lp) Although in the interest of pickiness, that comp has all the songs "disco mixed" together. Or why not just go the grey market rout…
