Thanks for the recordings, John.

I have also found some jazz oboe recordings. In order to listen to one of them go here, click on CD/Extraits,
scroll down to Coyoakan « Changes », Arts d'Oise productions 1999 and then click on On The Reed.

Oboe is certainly a marvellous instrument and this guy is so talented with others too(Even if it isnt jazz).

[OLDUDE]

I like Ruby Braff a lot teddy but I'm not terribly keen on this track (maybe it was old age creeping in) - 7/10.
Try this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bk82kA6d2Y&feature=player_detailpage

 

[teddy]

OK John. I can give that a 9 without any trouble. Some great guitar work as well

Cheers John

this weekend i picked up an album by chuck mangione called jazz brothers. it was recorded when
he was very young, maybe 20 or so.ithink it is quite good, i never knew mangione made records like this
i would like one of the hardbop fans to rate this. gord

 

[White Knight]

Gord, In my book that's an impeccable 10/10. As you said, I never knew Mangione could blow a horn like that; I only remember him from the kitsch muzak he produced in the later Seventies. I should have known I'd like this piece when I saw it was promoted by Cannonball Adderly Presentations. As a matter of fact, the opening of Mangione's riff sounded a little bit like Nat Adderly on his cornet to me. Great find! And now here is something that is definitely hard edged bop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=H_uO_UbBEAg

 

[OLDUDE]

My old mate Harry would turn in his grave, but I (who doesnt really know what "hard bop" means - bop once meant only Charlie Parker to me),
find myself slowleeeey starting to admit that this sort of music may have something after-all. Even (grit my teeth) Coltrane.
Who knows Steve -you may convert me yet.

I never give up on a good man such as yourself. ray:

hi john,this is considered the best track from one of the greatest hardbop albums ever. miles and cannonball, and just listen to the incredable swing that art blakey, hank jones and sam jones lay down.i dont think anyone would dislike this. gord

 

[OLDUDE]

If this is hardbop it seems I've been enjoying it for a long time via Art Blakey. (9/10)
One of my favourites - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2je_TvW549E&feature=player_detailpage

 

[gord]

hi john,that is hardbop at its best.nobody can swing ahardbop band like blakey.that is a 10. gord

 

[White Knight]

John, That is truly a hard bop CLASSIC. Great choice indeed. Moanin' will always garner a 10/10 in my book. How about this from Trane, then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8-67XvSArk&feature=player_detailpage

 

[gord]

steve,that was marvellous,coltrane can do no wrong for me.i rate that a 10 out of 10. now, what do you make of this.

EDIT:
Hey John, thats's a 8.5/10 for Rogers and his orch.
Btw, this otaku guy (or gal) seems to have one hell of a jazz collection. So nice of him to post it on YT.
