It's hard to make Oscar Peterson sound bad, nearly impossible with the assistance of Herbie Hancock. I feel you on the piano duets though. They can be a bit too much for the ears to deal with most of the time.
|
I've tried getting into Peterson but it somehow doesn't work for me. I like the style, but the music seems so predictable. In the same way Dixieland or Big Band Jazz is predictable, you know what I mean? I guess it's not my kind of jazz.
Something that is'nt too well-known but definitely is my kind of jazz, is Kenny Dorham's album "Quiet Kenny". This is perhaps the best Jazz album I've ever encountered. The youtube version (and, has to be said, the CD version) sound awful. It probably doesn't come over the way I want it to. But please get this record people :) I am not a very big Brubeck fan myself. I feel like he's making "Jazz for the Masses". It's all a bit too easy. I don't say I don't respect the man's talents, but I think he can do better than he does. Did. Whatever. There's one exception to this. It's called "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia" A Friend of mine had been looking for this album for years. I found it for him in a store in Rotterdam. He played it at my place and, even though I'm listening to the song now on youtube... Goosebumps. It's abolutely brilliant. Enjoy :) |

Conversations With Myself: This is actually Bill Evans performing piano duets with himself via studio overdub. Critics have been pretty unmerciful about this album because of the "studio magic' involved, but I think it's nicely executed with only a few sketchy moments. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F7TQp2UX9J...th+myself1.jpg Alone: Some of the songs are a bit on the upbeat side, at least more so than you'd expect on a solo jazz piano album, but I particularly love this album. http://991.com/newGallery/Bill-Evans-Alone-468321.jpg |
i will recommend t you Miles Davis off course, John Coltrane and singer like Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday...
Good music ! |

Just Another Rider 7. Please Accept My Love 8. I Believe I'll Go Back Home 9. Tears, Tears, Tears 10. My Love Is Your Love 11. Checking On My Baby 12. Rolling Stone Low Country Blues is Gregg Allman`s first solo record in 14 years and it was produced by T Bone Burnett, recorded at his Village Recorder studio in Los Angeles and features Dr. John on piano, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, and Burnett’s brilliant go to rhythm section: bassist Dennis Crouch and drummer Jay Bellerose. Gregg has lived long and hard enough to sing the blues with the conviction that only 'long life experiences' can yield. Low Country Blues is Gregg Allman at his very best...a self assured, spirited collection that will stand as a major milestone in what is undeniably an exceptional career. My Source.....
