http://blogojazz.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-coltrane.html
Reminiscing in Tempo at a Moment's Notice for no reason at all, in C. Sunday, May 08, 2011. Good news and bad news. The good news - there's some "new" Coltrane on the market. The bad news - you have to buy a box set in order to get it. As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for Impulse, they're releasing a 4-CD set entitled. 50: First Impulse - The Creed Taylor Collection. Genius Soul = Jazz. Are part of the set, but who doesn't have those already? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Blog-O-Jazz: Giant Steps
http://blogojazz.blogspot.com/2011/06/giant-steps.html
Reminiscing in Tempo at a Moment's Notice for no reason at all, in C. Sunday, June 19, 2011. John Coltrane's solo on his 1959 recording of Giant Steps is an acknowledged classic. Here are three different homages via YouTube. First, a scroll through the transcribed solo as the recording plays. Second, a robot programmed to play the solo. Lastly, a virtuoso performance of a gentleman playing along with Trane's recording on piano and bass guitar. Thank you very much for your time. Very cool post Steve!

While browsing through Amazon a few days ago, I came across a DVD title I was unfamiliar with. The release,. Duke Ellington et son orchestre. Had no accompanying information – date of recording, personnel, location, nothing. Since I didn’t want to buy a pig in a poke, I decided to Google the title. The full title turned out to be. Lo and behold, the source of the recording was the.

http://blogojazz.blogspot.com/2011/07/cootie-williams-centennial.html
Reminiscing in Tempo at a Moment's Notice for no reason at all, in C. Sunday, July 10, 2011. Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of trumpet great Charles Melvin Williams, better known as "Cootie."
