I just picked up a few good ones
Blue Note Plays The Beatles features people like Bud Shank w/ Chet Baker, Buddy Rich, Stanley Turrentine.
Basie At The Sands Before Sinatra one of the best Basie cd's i've ever listented to.

I wish I could say I'm into something new, but I'm still up in the Chick Corea "Friends" disc. I listen to it everyday, and I'm getting closer to making it through Steve Gadds solo in Samba Song before my head explodes...

My most recent CD was the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Live album, and it's great. Another really good CD I just got isn't really Jazz, but a lot of Jazz musicians I know really like it, mainly because it's so far out there. It's by a guy named Michael Harrison, and what he did was take a piano and retune it into a harmonic system rather than the equal tuning system that your standard piano is tuned to. To explain exactly what that does would take a good hour of theory lecture (which is how I learned about it). The sound that he creates is unlike any other piano player you will ever hear. Most of the time it sounds like a piano, but sometimes it almost sounds harp-like, and you get this amazing combination of chords that are perfectly in tune, and really dissonent. He's got two CDs out, both you can find on Amazon (I wasn't at all suprised that neither Borders, nor Sam Goody had either CD).

Nothing new-just classics.
Other day found a cd in my collection-"the Best of Ken Burns Jazz"...lol! Didn't realize I had that one. I really like swing and stuff anyway.
I also pulled out my Cannonball Adderly cd [greatest hits] the other day too-totally dig "Work Song" and "This Here" ^____^ [or "dish here"-lol!] blaugh

If we could have the lights out please for atmosphere? Now we're about to play a little composition by our pianist, Bobby Timmons. This one is a jazz waltz, however, it has all sorts of properties. It's simultaniously a shout, and a chant, depending on whether or not you know anything about the roots of church music and all that kind of stuff...meaning soul church music...uh I don't mean Bach chorales, and so, that's different, y'know what I mean? This is soul church music, y'know what I mean? Y'know what I mean? Alright,alright... So, now we're going to play this piece by Bobby Timmons. It's really called "This Here," however, for reasons of soul and description, we have corrupted it to become 'Dis s'here. Thats the name, 'Dis s'here!
