Continuing to share things I like to get a feel for hubski.
I love this tune, and it's perfect for me right now: I'm stuck in Buffalo, NY, delayed on my way back to OH from christmas break back home. It's windy, and Snowing like crazy, and the Town is at a virtual standstill. This recording is so full of imagery: A rainy, soggy day in downtown Manhattan in the 60's; The empty streets of storm-swept Buffalo; A hot, humid, stuffy basement bar (the kind of humid heat only radiator heat can create) with this on the Jukebox; A solitary man at a candle-lit table in a fancy restaurant, left waiting for a date who never came, closing time.
I think that's the best way. A while back, another user and I had a conversation about Miles Davis and he pointed me to a good documentary on Miles that I'd never seen before. You might like to check it out. EDIT: It looks like it's been taken down, sorry.Continuing to share things I like to get a feel for hubski.
Kind of Blue was basically what woke me up to jazz music in high school in the 1980s. Also I love the vocalese version of Freddie Freeloader by Jon Hendricks and friends.
Coltrane's In a Sentimental Mood was what got me hooked :)
