Red Mosquito

It's definitely one of the best Martha albums of the year

Favorite music genre to Zack Snyder´s both Batman and Superman.

Just got one of my favs jazz albums from argentina, Jorge Lopez Ruiz´s B.A. Jazz from 1961, in vinyl. This is a great reissue from 2024, sounds very very good.

Dude got an amazing ensamble with Argentina´s best from Gato Barbieri to Lopez Furst and the amazing Pichi Mazzei.

Been super into Freddie Hubbard´s The Body And Soul.

Just beautiful stuff really.

I listened to The Weather Report over the last couple of days because I missed it on the Essential Albums thread and was in the mood for jazz music. It’s quite good, but not at the level of In a Silent Way that was promised. But it’s still really good.

I had a very strong phase of The Weather Report as a kid, mostly because my dad loved them along with his love for Jaco.

Its been a while so im about to jump right back, also with Jaco´s solo albums.

In my continued in the mood for jazz so mini break from the albums thread, I listened to The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall, and Thelonious Monk - Monk’s Dream - both are absolute musts and bummed I didn’t catch them in the albums thread. In the midst of Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, which will be the last album before I go back to my day job.

Good lord. How have I made it this long without ever hearing of this guy? He’s a monster.

he's got some serious chops

was listening to a recording of him + Ray Brown on bass + Oscar Peterson on piano ... was intense

I have to say that does blow my mind..my dad was a jazz guy and played his stuff all the time growing up..glad you found him

I watched than one when I looked him up the other day.

i love how he starts it off

dissonant

then works his way into the recognizable melody

so beautiful

Listening to Bill Frisell's Harmony today after a long time away. Not sure it counts as a jazz album exactly but man is it gorgeous

The version of "On The Street Where You Live" on this album is breathtaking

This is from a CD I found in the used bin last weekend. The saxophone isn't always my favorite instrument but when it's played this way, I get lost in the bars. So good.
