What Are You Listening To Right Now (Volume 7)

After I mentioned in the Miles thread that I don't like Trane's later stuff, I decided to listen to is stuff from the late 50s. Fantastic album, Trane on tenor, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Art Taylor on drums and Paul Chambers on bass. Listen for Chambers' incredible solo on Mr. PC, which is named for him.

This is, as far as I'm concerned, the best thing Trane ever recorded.

 

I'm not sure why, but that is the only John Coltrane I own. That said, while my jazz collection isn't small (80 or so CDs?), it's too small to cover too much territory and it's heavily tilted toward my hometown New Orleanians.

At the moment, I've got this on:

 

In a jazz collection, that's certainly nothing to have to justify

 

Sunn 0))) - Flight of the Behemoth

 

Merle Haggard

 

thought I was gonna be the first for a sec. I'd be watching Man U-Lyon right now but my wife changed the channel on the cable box when she came home from lunch. Argggh.

 

Lil Rascals Brass Band

Mayo interviewing Bono is what I am listening to.

 

Just FYI: there was a line of about 40 people waiting to check out at the East Hanover NJ Best Buy at lunch today. About 2/3 of them were buying HTDAAB, and 1/3 buying the Seinfeld box sets.

I'm coming around to it. Didn't thrill me at first but it may be the first U2 album ever to have a better 2nd half than first.

 

I'm gonna be listening to this over and over. When Achtung Baby came out, I listened to nothing else for over a month.

 

Chalk anonther one up for HTDAAB

 

I can't wait to hear the songs from HTDAAB in concert.

 

I hope they put more effort into the songs than they did the album cover.

 

It's that classic U2 sense of irony.

 

I can't wait to buy it, I just have to get a job first.

 

Well, since music historians consider New Orleans as the birthplace of jazz, ain't nuthin wrong with your collection being tilted that way. Outside of Scott Joplin and Louis Armstrong, my knowledge of NO music is pretty limited. We should talk about the music there sometime.

Good stuff. Evans is awesome.
