Episode 278: New Acquisitions--Count Basie, PJ Perry w Kenny Barron, lots more!
Manage episode 429189398 series 2150622
This is the last of my New Aquisitions series----lp's and cd's I recently found.
It include three artists from my hometown, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They are: -Saxophonist PJ Perry playing with the #1 jazz pianist according to Downbeat critics' polls---Kenny Barron. -The Edmonton Jazz Ensemble from 1989, led by Sean McNally, performing a fascinating arrangement of John Lewis's Django. -The late guitarist Bobby Cairns and his rendition of the oft played standard, Beautiful Love.
I also include a fascinating 'contest' for you on this listener. Guess what emotion or human quality is being portrayed in a particular track off Lynne Arriale's "Being Human" cd.
Then there's my re-discovery of the music of the great Count Basie, especially his smaller ensembles. And also something from a classic album he did with Frank Sinatra.
Then there's one of my all-time favourites. Bob Dorough. He exudes sponaneity and playfulness.
I play some classic Miles Davis from a remastered version of his "Relaxin" album.
Then there are a couple artists you don't normally associate with jazz. But these tracks are solidly within the jazz genre. Firstly, there's Richard Greene playing Ornette Coleman. Then we have pop-soul group Bob Kuban and The In-Men (remember The Cheater?) with organist Greg Hoetzel as influenced by Jimmy Smith.
