Surly Jazz Thread

Happy birthday David Sanborn (7/30). I had to run to the store for bananas and peppers (not banana peppers) this afternoon and heard about it on Jazz Sunday on WCBE.

I’m neutral on Sanborn. I don’t dislike him but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. He’s fine. It turns out we share a birthday, though, so here’s to ya, Dave.

Caught some Ella.

This was new to me. Pretty cool. I thought it was interesting.

And now happy birthday Kenny Burrell (7/31). He’s still alive and kickin’ at 92.

That brought me home.

I heard him play live in 2020 right before Covid started.  He’s lost most of his chops, it was almost painful to watch considering how explosive he used to be.  I’m more of a straight ahead jazz fan, but I had to see Sanborn at least once!

All vinyl is 30% off on Blue Note's site today.  The Classic and Tone Poet series sound incredible.

I picked up 9 titles for $200 (including shipping).  Fantastic value.

Great performance.  This was in Berlin, but same crew.  Alan Dawson steals it.

Completely agreed on the album I linked.    Was blown away by it.

I’m really digging the jazz funk sound like below right now. Y’all have any favorite jams in this style?

Red Clay is one of my all time favorites. That whole album is incredible.

Somehow I've been sleeping on Hank Mobley my entire life. Like, I knew of him of course, just never dug in before. Bummer because I've missed out all these years, but great because now I can go through the whole damn discography and it's all fresh.

 

[alincoln 2364]

Love Mobley's tone and particularly this album which was recently reissued as a Blue Note Classic.

Don't miss his work as a sideman.  Horace Silver's 6 Pieces of Silver is great.

 

[tokamak 6350]

Freddie’s in my top 5 for sure

Have any of you fine gents read a good book on the making of Kind of Blue? I was thinking about making that a book I read next month to celebrate the 65th anniversary of my favorite jazz album. I've heard good things about the Ashley Kahn book about the making of it. There's also a new book by the Sinatra biographer James Kaplan that focuses on Miles, Coltrane, and Evans called 3 Shades of Blue.

How's about a little Snarky Puppy? Great band based out of Denton. Of course!
