In recent months I had been drifting away from jazz to almost exclusively listening to a few western classical composer's whose best works I have only recently acquired-Schumann,Brahms,Bartok,Stravinsky.
Yeserday after a long hiatus I played Black Saint & The Sinner Lady LOUD!I freaked out on the wild uninhibited energy of Mingus & Co.So I opened a bottle of wine and played many of the albums listed above.Have begun today's session a little while back with Art Blakey & the Jazz Messenger's Moanin'.When jazz is good it's really good!Like in this album.Clifford Brown,Max Roach at Basin Street coming up next.
Thanks for reminding me about Bill Evans.Many years ago I had bought an album called Sahara which was not my kind of music.I have stupidly associated that album with Bill Evans and did not pursue his music further.A simple google search reminded me that Sahara was a Mccoy Tyner album.Somehow I have never grooved on the 70' jazz of Chick Correa,Jack De Johnette,Keith Jarret,Mccoy Tyner,Herbie Hancock,Billie Cobham.Find it charmless and pretentious when compared to the golden oldies like Duke and Satchmo.
But now I intend to source the 1961 Village Vanguard recording of Bill Evans with Scott La Motian and Paul Faro.Also Waltz For Debbie.Looking forward to listening to both of them
