Another thoroughly enjoyable album #5Albums63

Sneaking a few more albums in before I cast my vote for #5Albums63. Thought this was a great album from Jorge Ben.

Listened to a lot of exceptional Jazz for #5albums63 this last fortnight, all of it made me keep going back to one of the standout tracks of 2022. Hip Hop & Jazz fans need this in their life…

#NowListening to the instantly recognisable angular piano of Thelonius Monk #5albums63

A friend of a friend told me that I had to get onto Thelonious Monk and this was as good a time as any. This is pretty incredible #5Albums63

One of the first Mingus albums I heard and it just didn't chime with me at all. Now of course, things are different. #5albums63

Oh and I messed up the tag... #5albums63!

Moving into the contenders #5albums63 #Jazz

'African Flower' was one of the first jazz tunes I ever fell in love with. Gary Burton's version though. Remember discovering it on this years later.

Bit of variety for #5albums63

Solomon Ilori – African High Life (Blue Note, 1963)

Highlife

OK, so I know it's not eligible for #5albums63 but I do like Hutcherson and this line up - Duke Pearson, Joe Henderson, and Grant Green. #NowListening

Recorded '63 and sat in Blue Note vaults for almost 40 years before it was released!

Goodnight folk #NowListening #5albums63 #Jazz

Oh yeah and its another of Coltrane's #5albums63 candidates despite being recorded in 1957

Also the original was on 16 2⁄3 rpm - what is that!?!

A bit of a fun record to end the day on #5Albums63

Now Playing
Stan Getz/Luiz Bonfa - Jazz Samba encore! (1963)

Now Playing
The Beatles - Please Please Me (1963)

#NowPlaying Miles Davis - Seven Steps to Heaven. An overlooked and underrated gem in Miles' canon. Very rarely see it mentioned, perhaps because it was at transitional point, but it's a class affair. It also marks the beginning of his second great Quintet. #5albums63
