What Are You Listening To? - Fretup - 25-07-2009
I'm listening to a BB King number ' Stormy Monday '.

Count Basie - King of Swing
Bit of a major Jazz-purchasing push going on Chez Tiggi...
These two are part of a 2-disc set which contains four original Basie albums delivered from Amazon for a total of £2.98 (That's very cheap, work it out...).
I've ordered eight sets from this series, plus box sets from Miles, & Bird (Watch this space).
Anyway, these two are fine big-band swing records.

I need a new turntable to play them on because my old one has had the Sword but, I have Basie and Ellington hanging out of my posterior. Not a great deal of Miles or Bird sadly. Although I do have a fair bit of Bird on CD. :happy:
I also have a considerable collection of Ellington and Dexter Gordon on my Hard Drives.

If you have Basies & Ellingtons hanging out of you, you should be concerned, mate...

More top Swing albums.
The Joe Williams set is excellent...

Shirley and I saw him 'live' in Sydney at the Town Hall on Saturday - March 28, 1992 at the JAZZ MASTERS Concert singing with his surrogate daughter, Delilah who is an old and dear friend of ours and with whom I have sung many times.
Just another of the great memories of my life with my late darling girl! :nod:

Putting this here because it has elements of Blues, Rock, Funk and 'real' Rhythm and Blues in it.

James Brown's "Live at the Apollo."

What Are You Listening To? - trbc08 - 27-07-2009
It is a great album. I had never really given Brown's music a chance before.

At Newport is a good live album, but the second one is not so strong. Still enjoyable.
Bebop, Swing, Blues, & Latin are all here...
