...that have kept me busy lately and have inspired playfully! :)
Some day my prince will come - Miles Davis & John Coltrane
Dat Dere - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Tune up when lights are low - Miles Davis
Tenor Conclave - John Coltrane
Samba Yantra - Chick Corea
Let's get lost - Chet Baker
Sortie - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Confirmation - Jackie Mclean
Untitled Blues Waltz - Paul Desmond & Gerry Mulligan
Last train from Overbrook - James Moody & Cedar Walton
Brilliant Corners - Thelonious Monk
April in Paris - Charlie Parker
Dancing in the dark - Bill Evans and his orchestra
Hear me talkin to ya - Cannonball Adderly
Dat Dere is now my caller tune. I think it's fabulous! The trumpet sets the pace perfectly and the saxophone springs alive soon after. Art Blakey adds the zing with his drums, effortlessly as is his style and the piece just comes together splendidly. It has this subtle softness, an air of mystery to it and climaxes now and then beautifully - it's almost like a reading Agatha Christie's Poirot. I love.
It's up on Youtube and certainly worth a hear. So if you get time, try and unwind with this fabulous piece. It does to your heart much more than what great sex can on a lazy, sunny winter afternoon!

Check out this film called 'The Last Waltz' (directed by Martin Scorsese) and if you don't like every bit of the music... You can just shoot me. :D
