Superb track JR - nascent Hard Bop, Hank wrote good tunes and great solo's by all on this. The drumming by Blakey is a masterclass......love it!!!Originally posted by Jazzrook View PostDonald Byrd with Joe Gordon, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins & Art Blakey playing ‘Hank’s Tune’ recorded in 1955 from ‘The Transition Sessions’(Blue Note):

Art Farmer - "I'm a fool to want you", from "Art" 1960. A quartet album with Tommy Flanagan. Apparently Art's favourite recording date of his career, it's a superb set.

Roland Kirk/Andrew Hill, "Meeting on Termini's Corner" from Kirk's "Domino" album 1962?
One of my favourite Roland's and a great album. I think Hill was part of his working qrt at the time - they played the Newport festival.
Hard to believe this is now over sixty years ago, it still seems as fresh and relevant as today. More so

Having a session of Bud Powell whilst getting ready for my wedding this afternoon. My partner is doing down the aisle to Westlife although the music is based on Pachelbels canon. Haven't managed to convert to jazz in the last 2 and a bit years. Coming out of the registry to Messaiens Turangalila 5th movement which was my choice so it was a compromise.

Congratulations to both Ian! I got married to Mozart's clarinet concerto, sadly not Jackie McLean. Or even Shostakovich!Originally posted by Ian Thumwood View Post
Michael Cuscuna had Yusef Lateef play at his wedding, now that's something to brag about!Comment

Congratulations to Ian and partner!
I beleive Westlife and Boyzone are interchangeable.
Bluesnik. I learned Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and had the "Music Minus One". The slow movement is what you got married to I suspect.Comment

It was indeed. And I only became aware of it as it featured in a short story by (I think) Raymond Carver who was fashionable at the time as a pioneer of new American "realism". An alcoholic ex musician character in the book winds up in a monastery overnight and finds a copy of the score left open. We used it for our background reception music and it went down well with all concerned on repeat. Along with all the bottles of champagne we thought we'd hidden for later!Originally posted by burning dog View Post
And, I didn't know until now it was used in "Out of Africa" as the big romantic piece. There's a thing. Or actually, this may be a fake!

Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers with Jackie McLean, Bill Hardman, Sam Dockery & Spanky DeBrest playing Gigi Gryce’s ‘Casino’ in 1957:

Same Blakey band, "Sam's tune" or "Sam you made the bridge too long" from 1957, which I bought on a 45 EP with Mal Waldron's "Mirage" on the other side. Still a huge favourite of mine...
