Mykesbass Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Lovely bit of old school Jazz on Cerys Matthews' show this morning - Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, Duke's Place, with an interesting clarinet solo courtesy of Barney Bigard.

Not his jazziest moment, but I do like his work with Tony Bennett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first introductions to Jazz, I suppose. The whole album is worth a listen with some very smooth playing all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Not usually a big jazz fan but I came across an album the other day and I’m really enjoying it. Don’t know if this has been posted but I’m sure it’s worth another listen if it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my early purchases was Wes Montgomery Fingerpicking - went to the listening booth in Dobell's and was blown away by it. Proper grown up experience for a 12 or 13 year old! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their faces usually fall a bit as they're expecting something smooth'n'after-dinnery, but at least they'll be able to ignore it and have a chat. Then Brotzmann's "Machine Gun starts up and they're usually shrieking and running for the door in seconds, unless they've had many hours hardening themselves with some Gateway Jazz, like Ornette or Steve Lacy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Dug this album out as I'm rediscovering my love for Jazz. Great choice! Interesting use of cello, some sublime cornet playing, and some fabulous guitar. A great 'gateway' album for anyone wanting a second step into the world of Jazz - accessible, yet still very credible (i.e. not Dinner Jazz)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
