Journey Through The Penguin Jazz Guide

[Zeeba Neighba]

Randy Weston Trio - Jazz a la Bohemia (1956)

Really good piano trio album - only 23 ratings on RYM - definitely and album that needs more appreciation

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Ken Colyer’s Jazzmen - Club Sesson with Colyer (1957)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Bob Dorough - Devil May Care (1957)

Jazz pianist/vocalist Dorough has a quirky vocal style that is interesting, familiar...then I found out he wrote many of the Schoolhouse Rock! songs in the 1970s

The Jimmy Giuffre 3 (1957)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners (1957)

Kai Winding - Cleveland June 1957

Penguin actually has Winding's 1956 album Trombone Panorama not available by streaming - this is from that era with similar songs in a live setting

Anita O'Day - Anita Sings the Most (1958)

One that I have on record and CD.

Definitely a fave of mine too!

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Red Norvo - Music to Listen to Red Norvo By (1957)

Love the Vibes and Norvo's easy style. Still, odd cover art and the use of the preposition "by" at the end (though it may technically be grammatically acceptable) sounds weird to my ears

Gigi Gryce and the Jazz Lab Quintet (1957)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Arthur Taylor - Taylor's Wailers (1957)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk (1958)

One that I have on record and CD.

I took the opportunity to delete an extra "l" from his last name. Please to excuse.

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Phil Woods & Gene Quill - Phil and Quill (1956)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

I took the opportunity to delete an extra "l" from his last name. Please to excuse.

The extra L is for Savings...no that's not right

Yeah, its been a long day...extra L is for Loooonnng. In any case, it should go on the record that I do know it's Art "One L" Blakey
