I wonder how many others on here thought instantly of the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man?
"The Quintet" - Jazz at Massey Hall
I'd been listening to an interview with Ken Clark on the Today programme and decided to listen to his Desert Islands Discs again through iPlayer. He chose six jazz, one blues (Bessie Smith) and one rock and roll (Little Richard). But when asked to pick one only, he selected A Night In Tunisia from this album. I wouldn't mind if Ken's island was in earshot of mine.
pure genius ...
Given how she lives her artistry - I wouldn’t be amazed if this was as much about being the youngest as just wanting to play it......, but boy she can play....., doesn’t perhaps 100 percent match up with the top five, but it’s highly enjoyable...
Looking at the list of contributors, it should be no surprise that this is a great jazz album, recommended....
Robert King & the King's Consort - Vivaldi: sacred music vol. 3
This 3 cd set has just arrived, playin’ the first disc and sounding great. 8)
John Coltrane - Giant Steps (first released 59 years ago this month)
The title track on this album was the first track chosen by the Rt. Hon. Kenneth Clark on Desert Island Discs. I must admit I prefer this hard bop to the bebop on the Massey Hall disc, posted above. But it's all good jazz. For anyone who doesn't know this album, but is curious about JC, this would be a good place to start. It is an essential album in any jazz lover's collection. Every track on here has become a jazz standard, and quite rightly so.
