Some nice Jazz...
For GFBurke, but also for anybody else -
In addition to Sonny Clark doing 'Deep Night' on Cool Struttin', along with all those Miles & Trane classics GFB knows already, can I also offer for starters:
'I was doing all right' (Gershwin!) and 'You've changed' both by Dexter Gordon on 'Doin' Alright' (Blue Note)...
'Chet Baker in New York' (by... oh yes, ... Chet Baker!), especially 'When lights are low'...
And most things by Tina Brooks (why not?)
?
Sweetbooness is really the man to ask & I hope he might feel like chipping in here.
Oh - And if this thread has to have something to do with clothes to belong here then just look at the LP sleeves!
Dexter's Mac.
Chet's Blazer.
Sonny's skirt.

Yes, I just may chime in later.
Take a listen to one of your fellow countrymen, if you haven't already, a saxophonist named Spike Robinson.

Call my taste vanilla but I've been enjoying Cannonball Adderley with strings

Re: Some nice Jazz...
No, no,
I like Cannonball too.
Never heard him with strings.
Any good?
'Something Else' with Miles is what comes to mind first.
Obvious, but good.

Re: Some nice Jazz...
Thanks for the reco's !! I will definitely be checking these out.
I also have a recommendation, more in the 60s-70s soul direction: Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. It is modern (recorded I think 2004) but captures a very Motown 1968 sound and she has a great, smoky singing voice.

Listening now to a nice radio program on a local station (syndicated around the country) called Dick Carr's Big Bands, Ballads, and Blues. Highly recommended if within listening distance.

Re: Some nice Jazz...
Porgy and Bess with Louis Armstrong and Ella is a classic.
Also, theres a song I heard once called...South American Joe? By (someone) and the hotdogs, or something to that effect. That was very good. Maybe someone knows the song? I think there is only one recording in existence.
I cant get cab calloway and Minnie the moocher out of my head
