Listening to some #Jazz while washing my dishes. This song tickles my brain in a delightful way, I feel ideas breaching the surface and their wanting my attention.
There was a period in the first half of the 90s where straightahead/post-bop #jazz structures were married (successfully) to very vascular, propulsive rhythm sections, and this is no exception, from 1991:
Herbie Hancock: piano/keys
Wayne Shorter: saxophones
Stanley Clarke: bass
Omar Hakim: drums
The Ted Greene Archives volunteers were able to clean up the audio on these amazing videos of Ted playing during his 1993 gig at the Seashell restaurant in Woodland Hills. I did see Ted once during that time, and it's great to have these videos of a master at work.
Saturday is another episode of my #radio show, #Jazz Roulette, on #KUZU 92.9 FM in #Denton TX at 5:00 PM CDT (22:00 UTC). You can stream live at https://kuzu.fm
God Bless The Child by BS&T is a monster. The arrangement is pure genius. Killer horns, hip trumpet and sax solos. You may not have heard it in the last 40 or so years, so give it a spin. #Nowplaying#jazz#vinyl
