"Jazz standards"

[JHC]

yes it may be technically very clever but if it sounds awful then the majority will leave it alone,

Undoubtedly the classical jenre has its version of standards, some of which appear on Classic FM regularly. My own relatively small collection of classical music is more likely to contain CDs such as "The Essential Mozart" or "Classics for the Millions" than
an hour of a string Quartet.
Fortunately I can share such pleasures with my wife which cannot be said for my jazz.

Does this EP bring back any memories, vintage 1952 approx, I stumbled across it last night and put it on the turn table sounded just about as good as it ever had despite the cover condition, he was, I think the first to have a rhythm section without a Piano.

Hi, JHC
This was one of the greatest sounds of Jazz ever

Cheers, John

Quite a lot of Mulligan tracks on last.fm. From that EP I remember 3 of the track, Bernies tune, Wlkin' shoes and Lullaby of the leaves, vintage Mulligan.

Hi guys and gals'
I've just posted to the "What jazz have you been listening to today---" thread and find that I have fallen head first into the trap situation mentioned there. (Post of 30 Jan 2010)
In the Dianna Krall selection disc I burnt from about 5 of her CDs in my collection I guess at least 13 of the 15 tracks are Jazz Standards.
For example :-
'Swonderful; I've got you under my skin; How deep is the ocean; The look of love; and All or nothing at all; are the 1st 5 tracks.
Is this what could be classed as "Hoist by my own petard".

Cheers John
