A rather highly-regarded album I've been holding back on for awhile now. Quite impressive from what I'm hearing so far
Wonder how many folks either decided to learn sax or quit entirely after hearing this disc...

Another borrowed from Robbie.
Recorded earlier in 2011.
I reckoned I already had enough Clapton in the collection, but his collaborations seem to be going from strength to strength.
Eric picked the songs, and Wynton picked the band & arranged the songs. This is Blues as played by '20s Louisiana Jazz bands. The songs are almost entirely vintage covers, with only Layla making the cut, of Clapton's work. Taj Mahal appears on the last two songs.
There's a tambourine solo included ?!
This is a stunning album, where everyone sounds like they're having the time of their lives...
AllMusic 4/5 stars.
Well, now, didn't you just press my button?!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEiFEWk18Ck << a jumped-up good time all 'round

From the creator of the Family Guy! Had no idea he could produce a decent album. It's not bad at all.
Yeah, well, OK, even though the guy himself has proved to be a total jerk...

Poignant phrase. If you know others, this would be a natural for a Thread. I love those intime in-studio,or back-porch or living-room sessions--even if these details were planned in advance. These guys aren't a stage away from each other--eye-contact, a word sometimes, even a nudge works wonders in breaking down that 4th wall, establishing that closeness with each other and letting us in, us lucky viewers. Am I overstating this?
MY BAD: they were talking about Marsalis & Clapton playing the Blues

Nice Latin-tinged hard bop, very enjoyable. Not much else to say about it. All interested in jazz should give it a try
In memory of the late great Horace Silver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjmWI-d6d4 << not least, he was Blue Note Records best overall selling artist. This financed a lot of more experimental stuff and kept the company afloat during some difficult jazz times. He never compromised--he was always Horace Silver. The album this is from is stunning. http://www.allmusic.com/album/song-for-m...0000241423 Another 2 tunes, not from this album but entirely in keeping with his soul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFjmWI-d6d4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=701OponWbSU << a 2-fer: "The African Queen" and "Cape Verdean Blues" Now a couple showing his joyous side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5lr_nrPRYk << this has some hip vocals and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnc-y2D5RBg << Comment #4 lists personnel. Hint: they're all killers. This set is 26 years after it first appeared, prolly played it a zillion times, yet still brings a freshness to it (and I mean him, not those young-stud sidemen--you'd expect them to.)

Buena Vista Social Club must be a contender for this.

Can that number be right? I'm the 575th listener to this magnificent piece? A strong kudos to mtthwibrahim for the nudge. This disc is 2 oddly simpatico artists melding to bring you the best. Hint: they succeed. I bought this when it was fresh, thinking, "This is bizarre." 30 seconds into the 1st song, I wanted to wash the producer's feet and dry it with my hair- -Rispettare, which goes soul-deep with Italians and Celtics. Let AMG tell you: http://www.allmusic.com/album/john-coltr...0000263500 What I can find:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9xOv8r3-XU << This disc has ushered out the sweet shank of many a loving couples evening...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBeBseefyOs <<...but it can work when you're solo. Dig: the start of the week's been beastly with little let up tomorrow. But right now you have that tub and a beverage of choice and maybe a few candles--you relax and the world can KMA. You're welcome.

This Guy's In Love With You & Casino Royale, both 1960s tracks i believe.
Admittedly, Herb Alpert had hit a creative slough in this period. He rebounded quite well with this next. AMG reviewer got it right about re-igniting his creative spark: http://www.allmusic.com/album/fandango-mw0000652667

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HARD BOP MASTERPIECE
100% correct; as a matter of fact, I like Lee Morgan enough (sad sack though he was personally) to post another disc:
