Hello Larry, a timeless piece of music.

I did, Larry, though I'm having a bit of trouble unzipping them. But I'll figure it out here, thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:06pm

Sonny Rollins, what a classic! (Timmy Thomas is classic too).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:06pm
Funky16Corners:

Please let me know if you can't resolve the issue. I'm loving the Stryker/Slagle Band stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:08pm
doctorjazz:

They were a great band, remember seeing them at the old Sweet Basil's in Manhattan. Was sad they broke up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:08pm
Funky16Corners:

There's an Ornette vibe running through some of it, and I really dig the Metheny-esque piece (Hartland)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:09pm

Afternoon Larry. Thanks for playing the hard bop king Sonny Rollins. The great Max Roach on drums too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:15pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi Alvy!
Avatar 3:15pm
Erica:

I figured that's why Larry.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:15pm
Funky16Corners:

I opened with Timmy's version
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:23pm
Funky16Corners:

Parker was at his lowest when he recorded this, right on the verge of collapse, and you can hear it coming out of his horn. Genius, but very sad as well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:24pm
Michael 98145:

yes
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:24pm
doctorjazz:

Next stop Camarillo...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:24pm
Alvy Singer:

Charles Mingus called it one of Parker’s best—what it lacked in proficiency was transformed by soul.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:25pm
Funky16Corners:

I can hardly think of another recording, by anyone that walks that same line. I'm sure there are others, but Bird's is legendary.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:28pm
doctorjazz:

You can hear that Bird was at low ebb-but at the end, he really does come through (hey, he's Bird).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:28pm
Alvy Singer:

@Larry..I believe the story goes that Bird was in the throes of really bad heroin and had to be literally propped up to the microphone to record that track. Ouch!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:29pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - Yeah, even on his off-est of off days, he still pulls it out
@Alvy - That's the story I've heard as well

*Visions of black and white cartoons play in my head*

This remarkable piece was written by (and features on vocal and piano) Hoagy Carmichael
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

@Erica - It def has that vibe
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
doctorjazz:

Love Hoagy does Hoagy!

Some that early stuff by him is really unusual. Very forward thinking melodically.

There’s no relaxing here lol. Hi Erica!

This is the last song Billy Strayhorn wrote. He finished it in the hospital, and it was recorded by Duke Ellington right after he passed away in 1967.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:45pm
Michael 98145:

Tip o' the hat to the teachers

Plus, she has to live with me. Never gets a break.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:52pm

C'mon ... "just the ESL teacher" ?!? English is probably the most confusing language in the world. We have acted as conversation volunteers, so we know.

I'm totally convinced, the younger one is, the better the time to learn languages
Avatar 3:57pm
Erica:

@Larry The song has gotten used a bit recently, agreed
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:57pm
Alvy Singer:

The Ink Spots laid the groundwork for countless doo-wop and rhythm-and-blues vocal groups, from the Ravens and the Orioles to Motown’s Temptations.
  3:57pm
CupcakeJenny:

100%. In k they’re all learning “language “

Monk is practically weeping with every note.

If you can find this set it's fantastic. compiles a few different sessions that composed at least (I think) three albums, plus outtakes

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:41pm
Alvy Singer:

@Larry..Hard to disagree there. When I saw Allen at the NOLA Jazz Fest in 2014, he was playfully saying to the crowd, Betcha didn't know I wrote that one too, as he was playing hit after hit. A true master of his craft.

I believe Thomas Dolby covered I Scare Myself

@Erica - He did! Nice version, too
Avatar 4:41pm

I heard Thomas Dolby's cover first, many years ago... only discovered the original last year. Leslie had a copy buried in the back of the crate. In fact, Larry, I think it was you that prompted me to pull it out when you played this once before....
