I hoped you enjoyed Jakob’s music I am a big fan of his. Introduced to him through this thread a few years back with the ‘Ballardeering’ album. This lead me to his other two albums (‘Time’ and ‘December Song’) in his trilogy series released by Loveland Records and had to order the albums from Denmark. These three albums also had Bill Frisell and just loved the interplay between Jakob and Bill along with the other musicians.
Besides the four albums on ECM where he is the leader the albums ‘Dark Eyes’ (Thomaz Stanko) and Garden of Eden (Paul Motian) are excellent.
I have been immersed with incognisiance in his music which has the capacity to touch the deepest levels of strata. Life is indeed grand and the discovery of music is an adventure to be experienced!
The decadence of years gone by combined with vintage incandescence. This is my last for the evening, warm wishes to those that love music in whatever shape or form.
This is a fantastic album HH. On the fabulous and short lived Mole label. Have you heard the complete recordings of those sessions at Ronnie Scott’s? It is a multi cd box Issued Art’s wife and estate later reissued on Pure Pleasure.
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced - WAV CD rip
Long wine drinking (Léoville Barton 2008) with a friend this evening, just time for one album before bed. And how great is this? Atmospheric songs, Jimi’s guitar is raw and exposes all his emotions, it’s incredible how he makes the guitar sing, he’s a fantastic vocalist as well, and Noel and Mitch are a superb rhythm section. It don’t get any better than this.
James Mercer (The Shins) and Brian Burton (Uber producer and collaborator with everyone!!) combine for a second time to produce this absolute gem of an album.
A regular visitor to my Atom, this is just lovely.
…you are correct, over the years I had collected about 25 jazz CD’s from Yellowjackets, Joe Sample, Pat Metheny, Diana Krall, Duke Ellington, Rippingtons, Joe Henderson, Harry Connick Jr., Etta Jones, Sarah Vaughn, etc… not a very extensive view into the genre but I am starting to make up for lost time.
Joining the forum has opened the floodgates and taking advantage of first Tidal and now Qobuz to explore a lot of catalogues of musicians that I had not listened to in the past!
@seakayaker Glad to see another Yellowjackets fan, I have about 20 of their releases - basically everything up to ‘Timeline’ - when Jimmy Haslip left. Four Corners is my favourite, but I like them all, plus recording quality is consistently excellent.
My favourite album of 2014 - the Soderberg sisters from Stockholm. Amazing that they were only 24 and 21 years of age when this was released. Beautiful folky/americana music and every track is gorgeous.
It’s hard to believe that they will ever top this.
Eric Dolphy (Bass Clarinet, Flute, Alto Saxophone), Richard Davis (Bass), Freddie Hubbard (Trumpet), Bobby Hutcherson (Vibraphone) and Tony Williams (Drums).
Streaming on Qobuz (192/24)… a couple of mentions from @Clive and @anon93526344 had me place a few of Eric’s CD in the queue to play so here goes ‘Out To Lunch’ and the opening track ‘Hat and Beard’ is sounding mighty sweet!
