Notes_Norton Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Shakey Ground - Etta James She did IMO an improved cover of the older Temptations song and the rhythm section on that cut played brilliantly Edited June 19, 2020 by Notes_Norton
Notes_Norton Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) "Until I Met You" - Manhattan Transfer put words to Count Basie's "Corner Pocket" and did a nice job of it. Edited June 20, 2020 by Notes_Norton
Notes_Norton Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) El Raton - Cheo Feliciano - Jorge Santana (Fania All Stars) That's Carlos' brother on guitar Edited June 21, 2020 by Notes_Norton
Notes_Norton Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Pictures at an Exhibition - Modest Mussorgsky (Kurt Masur & Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra) I played this piece in school, I even had a solo in it, and have had a fondness for it ever since. I usually hear the Maurice Ravel orchestration, this one is orchestrated by Sergei Petrovitch Gortchakov so I don't know if I'll like it better, not as well, or equally.

Here a video of Zwan, a group in which Paz Lenchantin did play the bass guitar : 1
Notes_Norton Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Shirley Live at the Village Vanguard I believe Miles Davis discovered her playing/singing in a DC jazz club and then promoted her. She never gained great pop commercial success but a very loyal following. I think she deserves much greater recognition. Edited June 23, 2020 by Notes_Norton

Notes_Norton Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) We'll Be Together - Mark Murphy The only other jazz vocalist I know that can sing a song as slowly as Shirley Horn and make it work as well. Richie Cole the alto sax player was in top form as well. This entire album IMHO is top-notch. In fact, I saw Mark in Miami, talked to him after the show (he was very approachable) and he turned me on to Shirley Horn. Edited June 24, 2020 by Notes_Norton

Notes_Norton Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Desafinado - Mark Murphy One of my favorite versions of the A.C. Jobim song with the group Viva Brasil on the session. Edited June 26, 2020 by Notes_Norton embed
Notes_Norton Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 I just discovered this, it ought to be good: King Curtis And Champion Jack Dupree - Blues at Montreux (Full Album Live - 17 June 1971) 1
Notes_Norton Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen - Santana Carlos' take on Peter Green's song is sublime. I haven't heard it in a long time, and listening to it is like visiting and old, long lost friend. I still think this is one of his best solos on record. Edited June 28, 2020 by Notes_Norton 2
