Rating The Jazz Piece Above Me

[OLDUDE]

OK Mat, I did teddie's job for him again
In my newly awakened interest for "more recent" jazz (this cant be hardbop surely - too thoughtful) I rate your track
interesting 8/10.
Mat, I'm expecting a contribution from you to my new thread (world jazz) - I'm sure that you will have something
of interest to show from your part of the world.
teddie - come on, your turn.

Cheers John

John ,I give that Shorty Rogers a ten/ten for the trumpet section alone, then another ten/ten for the solo's. Classic stuff that sounds just as fresh today as when I first heard it back in the fifties! I guess that makes it a 20/20 in my book!!

For a change i'll go for tough tenor track here;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka4qujkzcSA&feature=player_detailpage

Sorry gord. I'm not a great lover of organ in jazz. 7/10
Here is probably a less well known tenor.

[Mat]

John, that's a great track. And a second one by Moss you posted that I liked. 9/10.

I've been meaning to post this one for a while. It comes from Herbie's not-that-recent CD called Possibilities.

Mat, I get a woody just looking at her, not to mention digging on her sultry and soulful voice once she starts in singing! She and Herbie pack a lot of heart into this piece. So, even tho I'm really not much for jazz vocals on the whole, this rates a solid 10/10.
Here's one from an artist I'm just getting around to really listen to--thanks to Spotify. Check out the way a much younger Keith Jarrett still manages to light it up, along with drummer Jack Dejohnette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=A7-uET8Fnkk. Charles Lloyd, along with Coltrane, is next on my Amazon "tobuy list" and already in my cart!

 

[Mat]

Hey Steve. Glad you liked it. That's probably one of few songs I liked that had Aguilera in it. Herbie totally rocked on the piano. Anyway, give the whole album a listen, if you can. I especially recommend When Love Comes to Town featuring Johnny Lang and Joss Stone. Pure heaven!

Re: Jarrett. It's a nice experience to hear young Jarrett playing, but I didn't like it. The rythmic pattern repeated over and over can get tiresome eventually, ya know. So, sorry but only 6.5/10.

Now, here's a track that was used in a Polish TV series about cops. One of the best native productions I've seen. Despite being sort of minimalistic, the track is full of emotions.

Lovely atmospheric piece warranting a 9.0

Have to admit this has changed my opinion of the woman.

[OLDUDE]

Mat, - Your Polish track gets 10/10 for atmosphere and instrumentation.
teddie, I have to give the J.S.lovely sax top marks 10/10 (Someone else I hadn't heard before)

I find Christina to have a voice too "hard" for me 7/10

I've never felt that Chet Baker was rated high enough for his wonderfully atmospheric trumpet sound

[gord]

hi john, great stuff,i rate that a 9 out of 10. now one of you kenton fans rate this rather weird piece.

[stu]

Hi Gord 9 out of 10 for me too. Kenton having some fun. That's the drummer Shelley Manne hamming it up on the vocal and Maynard Ferguson hitting the high notes on trumpet.

 

[OLDUDE]

Hi Gord,
Funtime with Kenton (not exactly the (er -- cultured?) stuff normally associated with him but 9/10 for the trumpet alone; and add 1 for the fun

This guy was a key player with S.K. but maybe not in the above referenced scene

[gord]

hi john,art pepper playing one of my favorite songs backed by a superb rhythm section, red garland,paul chambers and philly joe jones,i can only give that a 10. below more west coast jazz. gord

[OLDUDE]

Hi Gord,
Neither Stan Getz or The Lighthouse Allstars (what a line-up) can do any wrong for me. Its got to be 10/10

Here's Stan with another of my favourites (Cal Tjader) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRravPsRRAg&feature=player_detailpage

 

[Mat]

Stan's also one of my favorites. That's 9/10.

Here's an instrumental track from a Brazilian pianist/vocalist:

[OLDUDE]

Mat,
By now you will realize how much I rate this lady 10/10

Just to allow somebody else but us two to give their comments
(no Colin - not you, because you've already made your views clear and I respect your right to do so),
here is anther track by her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ormcaMdEAiA&feature=player_detailpage

 

[Mat]

Ok, John. I'm leaving this one for someone else to rate, then.

 

[gord]
