This was a fun show. A real mix, as usual, of serious jazz and fun jazz. Quite a bit of Coltrane up front, with Donald Byrd on the Red Garland albums. Couldn't resist playing a couple of cuts from this two-record set of two different Garland albums, Soul Junction and All Morning Long. Donald Byrd sounds great. Trane is...Trane. Super.
I just happened to come across the Horace Tapscott album that I occasionally use for Lush Life. He does a beautiful job on it.
I played Sun Ra because Bunnyphonic mentioned him the other day.This is a rather conventional album for Sun Ra from the 50s. Very accessible. Beautifully done. Sun Ra was a genius at orchestration, instrumentation, the whole ball of wax.
Two versions of Killer Joe. Can't go wrong. Toots is good. Art and Benny cant be beat.
The Henry Threadgill and Lonnie Liston Smith albums are excellent -- each in its on right.
I need to remember to stop playing that song, Heart is a melody. I'm done with it. I like Pharoah but...
McCoy Tyner's album Sahara is excellent!
Abbey Lincoln I played as a request from Tracey Tucker. The song Avec le temps, too. Very, very nice. I mentioned Tracey's name on the air -- first name only.
I love that Brian Blade tune. It's beautiful.
Just saw Eliane Elias this week at UTSA. She was amazing. Didnt play this tune but others from the same album. It was a wonderful evening. I went alone, found a seat in the 4th row center just before it began. Yes!
Lennie Tristano was a genius!
