"When I Fall In Love" by the Standards Trio.

Herbie Hancock; a compilation named Jazz Moods 'Round midnight'

Hi udyret :tiphat: - Off topic

Nice to se you here for the jaaaazz. Perhaps you are a genuin fan of good ole´ Herbie Hancock, a master of innovative jazz for the piano, keyboards, synthezisers in various groups, since he became the pianist in the famous MILES DAVIS QUINTET in the 1960´s with the equally esteemed musicians Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams etc.etc.

On topic.

In your honor udyret, I have just put on the double live CD album "Round About Midnight", Columbia Records 1956, remastered by Sony Music Entertainment 2001.

The musicians:

MD - trumpet
John Coltrane - tenor saxophone
Red Garland -piano
Paul Chambers - double bass
Joe Jones - drums

Final offer, at least from this Danish jazz freak, for jazz to night will be the great Joe Henderson on the CD 4 out of 8 CD´s in all on "The Milestone Years", released by Milestone Records 1994.

The musicians:

JH - tenor saxophone
Curtis Fuller - trombone
Pete Yellin - reeds
George Cables/Hideo Ichikawa - el. piano
Stanley Clarke/Kunimitsu Inaba - double bass, el. bass
Lenny White/Motihiko Hino - drums

The Keith Jarrett Trio on the album "Life Between The Exit Signs", released by Atlantic Records, 1968. Remastered for CD in 2004 by Elektra Entertainment.

I only bought this album about a year ago, with some 5 other albums from the late 1960´s and the beginning of the 1970´s, before KJ became a regular with the ECM Records, Germany and his later long time friend the producer Manfred Eicher in 1971/72.

The musicians:

Keith Jarrett - piano
Charlie Haden - double bass
Paul Motian - drums

Funny, there are two songs entitled the same "Love" 1 & 2. 1 is very melodic and the second "Love 2" is free jazz, could have been Ornette Coleman for all I care, except the instrumentation do not cover the alto saxophone mostly played by Ornette Coleman.

The Keith Jarrett Trio on the album "Somewhere Before", released by Atlantic Records 1969, remastered by Elektra Entertainment 2004.

The well known Bob Dylan song "My Back Pages" opens this album by the trio, where every other song was composed by Keith Jarrett.

The musicians:

Keith Jarrett - piano
Charlie Haden - double bass
Paul Motian - drums

Great dear sir Corno Dolce :tiphat::clap:

I am excited to hear from you, when you´ve got it and have listened to it. You will notice the "If Mountains Could Sing" album has quite a rare instrumentation for a jazz album:

TR - guitars
Bjørn Kjellemyr - double bass, el. bass
Audun Kleive - drums
Terje Tønnesen - violin
Øystein Birkeland - violincello
Lars Anders Tomter - viola
CHristian Eggen - Conducter

I just love the electric guitar by TR, check out the first song "The Return Of Per Ulv". At the same time wierd, wild and new but also with a very easy theme, which I often keep in my head the whole day, like with pop songs.

Another thing, you can always hear, whether TR plays the guitar or someone else. Many of the songs recorded by TR has a link to old Norwegian folklore, traditional Norwegian folk songs and the myths. His aim in jazz seems to be to explore on the different sounds from the el. guitar in connection with not ordinary instruments from jazz.

Bjørn and Audun he picked up more or less straight from scratch, meaning they did not have any serious musical schooling. On the album "Blue" it´s just the three of them. Or the album "Descendre" The instrumentation for the trio are the Dane Palle Mikkelborg (trumpet, flugelhorn and keyboards) and Jon Christensen (drums, percussion).

Good luck with your new albums, and please tell me what you think?
