S.D.'s Jazz Tune of the day....

For our first installment, tenor legend Stanley Turrentine and his theme song "Don't Mess With Mr. T."

Not having Youtube access at work is going to make this thread a bit less entertaining for me.

Well, you'll just have to visit at night.

That was awesome

Horace Silver, one of the most important jazz musicians to come out in the 1950's, his compositions helped establish the "Blue Note sound"....

Okay, straying away from youtube, hopefully more of you guys can access via fileden.



Here's a killer version of John Coltrane's Naima, performed with much spirit and wild abandon by David Murray. Yes, it starts mellow...but stick with it!

Don't let the boogaloo vibe throw you off, this shit is HEAVY. Check out the Boss Tenor's solo on this thing...amazing.

Jungle Strut kicks ass, I was unaware of Gene Ammons doing it.

John McLaughlin - Live 1998

Part 1


Part 2

the second great Miles Davis Quintet



Miles, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter & Tony Williams

I'm going to keep posting these whether anybody gives a shit or not!

Donald Byrd - The Weasel (from Fancy Free - 1970)

What the hell, I'll post a nice Fusion-y tune.

Feel free to post, I kind of gave up once nobody ever responded.

Sorry man, I listen to them all but I never post. So what didja think of the one I posted?

Here's some kickass fusion from Bruce Springsteens former keyboardist.

I never knew this even existed, pretty good though.

I"ll check these out later when I'm at a computer that has audio.

Thanks for sharing! I'll start finding some new ones to share...

Yeah, I listened to em all too. I just don't want to post "I liked it" constantly. I sound crazy enough without repeating myself

there was a reason David Fathead Newman was in Ray Charles' band for decades...BAD MOFO.



This video he plays alto, he is just as fluent on Tenor, Soprano and Flute.

What Fathead do you recommend, D?

If you can find a good used copy of this anthology, grab it. It's all tracks from his Atlantic period and he selected the cuts.



It's out of print but I have seen used copies around for about $20.

There is also this awesome twofer:

Those are two of his best 70's albums (Lonely Avenue & Newmanism).

You also need his debut album, Ray Charles plays piano on it.



Honestly, his did very few bad recordings, his most recent albums from the 2000's were some of the best of his career. He passed away in 2010.

Nice info, thx. Gonna check some of his stuff out asap.
