I need bass! (www.youtube.com)
The bass player in Zbigniew Namysłowski is fucking awesome, first time in a while I’ve really heard the bass stand out all they way through tunes....

It’s that time of year again - my chance to share my favorite free-to-download jazz trio Christmas set. Enjoy!...
Coltrane "Live" at the Village Vanguard (i.postimg.cc)
I just picked up this LP and I’m digging it. Three tracks, recorded live in 1961, with Eric Dolphy, McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman and Elvin Jones. It’s a bit further out there than I’m used to but it’s fine. There’s not a boring measure in the 35 1/2 minutes here.
Dave Brubeck on Take Five (www.youtube.com)
Very cool story.
Born in the mid 60s, this was my introduction to jazz (youtu.be)
I loved everything about this movie as a kid, but especially this swinging, scat-filled tune. Years later when I’d grown, I found my love for other similar artists, including Cab Calloway, Slim Gaillard, Benny Goodman, and yes, Louis Prima. Thanks to Disney, the Sherman Brothers (song writers), Phil Woods and Prima for the kid...

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, San Remo Jazz Festival, Italia, March 23rd, 1963 (colorized) (www.youtube.com)
Art Blakely is generally too much for me, but I know he’s well loved around the world. I can appreciate the others’ contributions here: Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Fuller, Wayne Shorter, Cedar Walton and Reggie Workman.

Chet Baker- Blue Room: The 1979 Vara Studio Sessions in Holland (chet-baker.bandcamp.com)
I just picked up the CD of this in a local store. It’s fantastic. Chet is just like you’d think for 1979. The production is great. The accompanists are solid. Mellow and low key throughout.
The band is obviously playing a game on this one - Neurosis - Irakere (live at Ronnie Scott's) (music.youtube.com)
Let’s play along. Can we name all of the quotes in all of the solos? I got Work Song and Birdland in the piano solo.
