#NowPlaying Wayne Shorter's precocious Blue Note debut, ably accompanied by Lee Morgan and Coltrane group alumni McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones and Reggie Workman. No wonder Miles Davis snapped up Shorter for his legendary 2nd Great Quintet, which not only adopted his style, but also seemed to "communicate by mental telepathy" after his arrival. #jazz#vinyl#hardbop#modaljazz
I played this record in the car 🚘 and decided to hear it in the lounge. I started in Apple Spatialize Audio but it was rubbish and switched to #qobuz#lossless via #roon. The haze cleared up. Apple compresses the main channels to make all the Dolby Atmos other stuff fit in an AirPods Pro pipe. The Maggies didn’t like it. Tubby bass.
This is a very slow, meditative music with a sonorous improvisational melody. Well the opener is. The second track is a lively piano opened #hardbop tune.
A thread of live recordings of my amateur jazz band's latest december 2023 gig, a #WayneShorter tribute (final thread post on January 2nd 2024). Let's start with Miyako, a wonderful ballad,
including an upright #bass solo by yours truly #jazz 🧵
If you are waiting for the French immigration law vote, or if you are not...another live performance from Saturday's gig, Yes or No 🔥 #WayneShorter#jazz#HardBop
I need more people to talk Jazz with. I've been buying up all the Blue Note that I can lately. Players like Grant Green, Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, and so many more.
I now understand the point of the introduction toot. So allow myself to reintroduce… myself:
I’m Johno. I’m a dad. I live in Berkeley, CA, USA. I have oddly specific preferences, and I’m here to learn about other folks’ oddly specific preferences.
