50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.11

Lee Morgan. Caramba

This great modal groove is form Lee Morgan's later period & is a lovely bit of mid-tempo jazz grooviness. Morgan is a masterful trumpet player & is ably supported here by Bennie Maupin & Cedar Walton. The repeated piano figure making the groove is hypnotic & the solos are funky. I could listen to this all day.

Oliver Nelson. Stolen Moments

Blues & the Abstract Truth is Nelson's career defining album, and Stolen Moments is perhaps is best known track (becoming a jazz standard & the version you'll want to hear). This lovely mid-tempo shuffle combines wonderful soloing & instrumentation with Nelson's brilliant arrangement of his large ensemble (including Freddie Hubbard & Eric Dolphy, whose flute solo is sublime). Just great!

The “Roy’s Thursday Pick” Poem:

Whether you’ve post-hump day blues
Or’r grinding through Friday-Eve
Roy would like to help youse
Your discomfort relieve

Roy recommends: John Coltrane - Giant Steps

Roy sez: “I’m into improvisation based on chromatic third relations. And pizza crusts. You gonna eat that pizza crust? Feeding a dog pizza crusts may not be standard practice, but let’s ‘improvise’, shall we? …seriously, give me the pizza crust.”

Tout a déjà été dit sur ce livre par des gens plus intelligents que moi. Donc j'ai décidé de me concentrer sur un des côtés que j'ai adorés (en plus de la personnalité absolument incroyable de Chet) : l'amour de Paris de l'autrice.

C'est un roman très géographique mais qui rend un hommage absolument incroyable à la ville sans tomber dans les clichés (on se balade même pas à la tour Eiffel et ça c'est beau), à part des scènes au sacré cœur et à Notre-Dame on erre dans des lieux plus intimes (la piscine Molitor, les catacombes...) et clairement appréciés par @estellefaye1 , qui a décidé de leur créer une mythologie toute particulière.

Autre force du livre et pas des moindres, le protagoniste, Chet. On m'avait promis un bisexuel chaotique (je reconnais bien mon peuple ^^), mais en vérité c'est un peu léger pour décrire ce personnage génial. Égoïste. Solitaire. Bête de sexe bourrée de défauts, Chet est également touchant, poétique et brave.

Un super livre de post apo pour les personnes qui préfèrent les récits "character driven" (comme bibi)

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.9

Ahmad Jamal. Patterns

Often referred to as Miles Davis favourite pianist (although they never worked together) Ahmad Jamal had a long career almost always performing in a piano trio format. The percussive playing on Patterns is a good example of his approach to modern jazz. Ever inventive & interesting in his playing, his work is always engaging, combining great rhythmic sensibility with a wonderful ear for melody.
