Sounding good in the morning here to the Banana Plantation.
Thanks, Bill. I'm particularly fond of the last segment with Ella, Buddy, Pops & Django. Got your recent shows in my queue; there just are not enough hours in a day for listening. Cheers, DrJ
DrJazz, is in tha house... love the tunes my friend, great energy!!
Thanks, G! Cheers, DrJ
The letter 'A'... now I see it :) Think Like A Mountain smooth and contemplative, or an excuse to drink my tea while it's still hot. Very relaxing. Language of time could have been a movie theme perhaps for a courtroom drama or one where those special type actors tussle around naked - either scenario works for me ;) the first track by Pat not the ... hold on maybe that would work too if I squint my ears. Whisper Not are vibrophones with reverb, but a delightful sound nonetheless. Loved the Horace Silver - Keep on gettin' up just rallied after the subdued first hour but some oomph! into the gathering. Creation another great track. Ella & louis have that warm winters fire feel, even in July. Always seasonal on G&M :)
It's Christmas in July (actually every Saturday afternoon) with G&M:):)!! Thanks for listening. Indeed, there's always a warm glow when Ella & Louis get together. Have a good rest of the week. Glad you caught 'the feelin' with Horace. Cheers, DrJ
No one does Blue Skies like Ella, and Buddy Rich on the drums. Classic!!!!!
To be precise. Sid Catlett plays the drums on that one. Buddy just talks & sings. It is truly classic because it's unrehearsed, spontaneous & it 'works', just like jazz :)! Best, DrJ
Great show Dr. Jazz.
Thanks, Ms. D! Have a great week. Cheers, DrJ
I'm just a Soul Man but I hear JS playing some Fats Waller! Have a great week :-)
A 'deep' Soul Man! Indeed, James Oscar played a Fats Waller tune - from the album Jimmy Smith Plays Fats Waller on BN. Have a fine week, too. Cheers, DrJ
