What are you listening to now?

[saxshooter]

I've mainly been an alto player, but have recently have been getting into tenor.

Didn't have him in my CD collection before, but this week I picked up two Dexter Gordon albums, "A Swinging Affair" and "Go".

Been alternating between both in my car CD player. Great stuff.

[Funky Chicken]

Lately I'm listening to "Saxophone Colossus" by Sonny Rollins ( I think i'll never stop listening to that CD) and "Only The Blues" by Sonny Stitt which is a great CD, The only problem is the quality og the recording..

[pepper]

quite a variety at the moment.

sly stone, duke ellington circa 1940-42, son house (got this today - 'father of folk blues': beutiful, dark, hypnotic blues), joe bataan (1960's latin soul), and all seasoned with a hint of arthur edward pepper.

[Mike Cesati]

Sonny rollins "worktime"

[Kosma]

Charlie Hunter Quintet- "Right Now Move" (with John Ellis on tenor)
***MUST HEAR!***

[Keith Ridenhour]

I saw a "b" movie on HBO called Riff. Really liked the guy doing the Alto solos on the soundtrack so I ordered a Bryan Steel CD from Amazon used for 5 bucks. Allmusic.com is amazing. K

[Ritchie]

In my CD player right now: Tony Lakatos, Generation X. What a terrific player. Listen to the soundfiles on his homepage www.tonylakatos.de

[Frank D]

A live 2 CD set of Steps Ahead: Bob Berg's last recording. Awesome stuff from the whole band.

[Bill Mecca]

Greg Piccolo's Homage, Gato Barbieri's Finest hour, King Curtis Night Train, Noble Watts King of the Boogie Sax

[mostly alto guy]

In one car, the Eagles' classic "The Long Run." In the other, Alannis Morissette's fabulous "Jagged Little Pill." In the living room it's "Hot Rocks," a Stones compilation. In the bedroom, Bruckner's Symphony No.8, a magically recorded (Denon) and very powerful if occasionally somewhat ragged performance by the NHK under von Matacic. And in the studio, a collection of mostly Sousa marches by some British military band (I like to play along). These have all seen air time in the last 36 hours.

OK, not your typical saxer's line-up, but variety is the spice, as they say!

[srcsax]

Jaqualine Du Pre's "Les introuvavle's de Jaqualine Du Pre"

[Tsax]

Right now: Bob Berg/Mike Stern Group - Games
live recording 1990

That new live 2-CD Holding Together is on my wishlist. I was in New York last week, but the cd is not for sale in the stores.

[Cameron Wigmore]

Joe Henderson - Inner Urge

with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and a bass string puller. :lol:

[rollen]

The Ray Brown Trio with Ralph Moore.

"Moore Makes Four"

[Troy]

sax stuff...
Kirk Whalum
Reaggae Praise
Illinois Jacquet (propermusic.com box set)

other stuff...
Weather Report, the Jaco Years
Praise Band 9

[Mikie F.]

Right now I'm listening to "No Body Does It Better" - David Sanborn. Great song ;)

[Dr G]

"Stolen Moments" - Lee Ritenour (w/ Ernie Watts)

[Jeff Foster]

Lots of different sax stuff but 2 in particular. The Brecker Brothers Volume I and "Taking Off" by David Sanborn. I'm playing Alto and Tenor and singing lead vocals in a 4 piece rock band. If I listen to "Some Skunk Funk" and "Butterfat" just before rehearsal it seems to really inspire me. Every time I listen to Michael Brecker's solo on Skunk Funk it reminds me how much I really need to practice.

[Troy]

Tutu Jones - Blue Texas Soul (with the Memphis Horns)
Pearl Django - Avalon (I want to play sax like the guy plays violin)

[saxshooter]

Jeff Foster:

How good is the bass player in your band :wink: ?

If you like Sanborn on "Butterfat", check out "Come On Come Over" on Jaco Pastorius' debut album. Second track. Just as your head is spinning after Jaco's rendition of "Donna Lee", Sanborn blows a sweet solo and is in the horn section, along with Brecker.

Enjoy,
Charlie

[Jeff Foster]

saxshooter:

Our Bass player is excellent but he ain't Jaco. I've got the album you mention but haven't listened to it in a long time. I need to go back and check that out. Thanks.

[geo]

I suggest "Swinging the Loop" with Vito Pizzo playing great jazz Tenor.

He's backed by some of the old Count Basie Rhythm Section.

Vito hails from California and he's a swinging, great sounding tenor man.

[colibri]

Currently I have Oliver Nelson's "Skull Session" in the CD player.
I never knew Nelson could make electric instruments sound so pretty. :shock:

[Hurling Frootmig]

I'm listening to a lot of Paul Desmond these days with a little Art Pepper thrown in for good measure.

[psynobi9]

Been getting back into Giant Steps a lot these past few days. Of course, I'm being subjected to heavy doses of Weather Report by my bass player, as well as a steady diet of the Flecktones and Victor Wooten. Sometimes, just to get away from it all, I turn to Ben Folds.

[Razzy]

Kind of Blue, Coltrane 4 disc Boxset and A Love Supreme, Ken Burns Jazz: Charlie Parker, New Jersey Saxophone quartet, Jean-Yves Fourmeau Saxophone Quartet, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, U2, Glazunov concertos, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and other Mozart peices, and some really good compilation CD's of my own containing a bit of all of the above. The Aphex Twin is basically high melodic and progressive techno. It actually gives me some very good ideas for my jazz improvisations and classical compositions, oddly enough!

[Chris]

Now i have my Joshua Redman time.

[Bob M]

"That's Right" Roomful of Blues
"Live at Lupo's" Roomful of Blues
"Homage" Greg Piccolo
"Flying Home" Illinois Jacquet
"You Knock Me Out" Sax Gordon
"Fat Chance" The Fat City Band

[tomsch]

Paper Moon - Dave Brubeck
Oakland Zone - TOP
Fallen - Evanescence

[saxshooter]

Now listening to Cannonball Adderly's "Them Dirty Blues". Great stuff. Has a recording of pianist Bobby Timmons' "Dat Dere". Has anyone heard Ricky Lee Jones' cover of that tune in the early 90's off "Pop Pop"? I think she got it straight from Cannonball and Nat's line.

[Dr G]

"Wiggy" - Jerry Bergonzi, Dan Wall, Adam Nussbaum

I miss the B-3 players I used to work with...

[T.S.]

The new Wayne Shorter "Allegria", ScoHoLoFo-Scofield, Holland, Lovano, and Foster....Both are great...Fille De Kilamjaro-Miles...and as always, "A Love Supreme" and "Crescent" by Mr. C.

[John Robinson]

Franks Wess and Foster are 2 greatly underappreciated tenor masters. Want a nice mellow sound to model on? These are two of the best! Thad Jones and Tommy Flannagan ain't bad either...
Charlie Rouse and Lee Konitz before that. I must believe Brew Moore: "Anybody that dosen't play like Prez is wrong." ( "Prez" = Lester Young for the youngsters out there...) :D

[Subtone Sam]

"Chick-a-Boom" and "Scotch and Milk" by Cecil Payne,"Rollin´ with Leo" by Leo Parker,"The Best of King Curtis".

[TRWham]

At the moment:
Metheny and Scofield "I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE"

In the car:
3 cd Monk collection covering late 40's to late 50's with Coleman Hawkins, Coltrane, Rollins, Charlie Rouse, Miles Davis. among others
Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Collosus"
Cannonball, "Live in SF"
Steely Dan "Gaucho" & "Can't Buy a Thrill"
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"

[Balladeer]

Kirk Whalum - Hyms in the Garden album
Eric Alexander - anything he's recorded
David Sanborn - Try A Little Tenderness

[Gordon (NZ)]

The most wonderful sound of silence.

[Josh]

Right now I'm listening to Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard, Bill Evans at same, and Duke Ellington's Money Jungle.

[-j.]

Wardell Gray, "The Wardell Gray Story" (a 4-CD box set from Proper Records -- if you haven't heard of 'em, check them out! The biggest bang for the buck anywhere, as far as I know).

Gordon (NZ): where can I get that CD? I'm intrigued! I checked on amazon, but no hits -- also, is there a jungle remix of it perchance...?

-j.

[James]

Count Basie - Decca Recordings
Frank Strozier
Dixie Chicks

[SopranoSue]

Crosby, Stills, and Nash -- Southern Cross. And I'm playing harmony along with it. Just kinda grooving along...

[BayviewSax]

Count Basie - Decca Recordings
Frank Strozier
Dixie Chicks

Just curious, which Strozier?

[James]

Hey BayviewSax
Right now, it's Frank Strozier's "Fantastic" with tunes like A Starling's Theme, Luck A Deuce, Waltz of the demons. somewhere around here I have another album, "Cool, Calm, Collected' or something like that. He's a very underrated player. Soulful. Is he still with us?

[BayviewSax]

He is, but he has "retired" from public playing. I have REMEMBER ME on Steeplechase, which is a great record. It has a companion that I DON'T have called (I believe) WHAT'S GOIN' ON? Also have him with the Louis Hayes Group on an album I bought for under $2 years ago. Another fine record. I think my favorite appearance by FS (just for its novelty!) is on McCoy Tyner's TODAY AND TOMORROW. In addition to brothers Elvin and Thad, the album features John Gilmore and Frank Strozier. Now THAT is an odd cast!

Thanks for the titles. I just started listening to FS about six months ago through a cd I found at the library, of all places. I'll definitely check out these others, especially the McCoy Tyner. What a group! I'll bet FS and Gilmore tie up pretty well.

[Mike Ruhl]

Stopped at the library on the way home and checked out a few cds. Listening to Brecker's "The Ballad Book" cd, for the first time, just out of curiosity. I've never been much of a Brecker fan, and this cd isn't changing my mind. Fortunately, I also checked out "Jazz Samba" (Getz/Byrd) and "Go" (Gordon).

[phathorn]

John Coletrane and Johnny Hartman (is there a more underrated vocalist?)
1 Million Broken Guitars-Popa Chubby (blues guitarist/singer)
Something Good- King Konga (got about 30 seconds away from making it and ended up breaking up...real shame. Good band)

[Spencer]

krtu.org San Antonio's All Day Jazz Station. !!!Friday's Jerry Gibbs show "the Thrasher" the # 1 Jazz show in the country. :twisted:

[Peterk]

Just picked up Blues For Dracula by Philly Jo Jones. Johnny Griffin on Tenor and Cannonball Adderley's brother on trumpet. Nice.

Also got 'Dis is The Drum by Herbie Hancock. Very modern synth stuff but strangely compelling and hypnotic. Some great flute playing by Hubert Laws on a tune called Butterfly.

[Tenorsaxer]

Well, I listen to everything. But mostly lately I have been listening to Coltrane and Parker A LOT.

[Keith Ridenhour]

Bryan Steel on tenor. Don't know much about him except that he does studio work (heard him on the soundtrack for movie, Riff) . Really like his sound and phrasing. Tone is like Breckers but alot easier technique wise to copy. Bob Malach is another good one for tone, lots of Brecker (out of the loop is one of my all time favs) . Basically stuff I hope to copy and then sneak in on my bar gigs when the drunk dancers aren't noticing. K

[John Robinson]

Stan Getz' "Anniversary" - "I Can't Get Started" - there is no better contemporary ballad reading anywhere. And Chick Corea ain't bad either....Quoting 'Trane: "We'd all play like him (Getz) if we could." Amen.

[Mike Ruhl]

Branford Marsalis Quartet, "Requiem".

This weekend it was Ralph Moore's Return Trip and Art Pepper (live import, circa 1980). Tonight it was Lenny Tristano with Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh. Been a strange couple o' days.

[Mike Cesati]

Joe Henderson "Mode for Joe" and Sonny Rollins doing Now's the Time and Round Midnite. that was sundays inspiration.

[SopranoSue]

Grover Washington, Jr. -- Winelight. Good stuff! :D

[Thomas]

The World of Cecil Taylor

CT is a great inspiration and example of the true quality of art created when one frees oneself. He moves even the miniscule part that remains of my heart and soul

[RobG]

Been playing Shorter's Live Footprints a lot since I picked it up recently, but I can't seem to really get into it. Maybe it's just too abstract for me or something, but I don't get it.

[Nisso]

I am listening to Stan Getz and J.J. Johnson at the Opera House....wow it cooks and moves......I also have been listening to adderley's groovin' high and Work Song.

[Bill Mecca]

Sam "The Man" Taylor the Swingsation collection. Just wish I could tune out Alan Freed and his stupid drum stick in a rock glass...

[Tim Price]

These are in rotation in my car:

-Gary Thomas- on Ingrid Jensens CD.Gary is unleashed-WOAH!!!
- Don Byas & Amalia Rodrigues...ENCONTRO.
fwiw- AMALIA..is a Portguese FADO singer.The CD was a gift to me from Hans Dulfer . Amalia, wow, her voice melts me!!! BYAS is sooooooo modern as well.
- Sonny Stitt, "Stitt Plays Bird".

[Mike Ruhl]

Branford, "FOOTS TE P S O F O U R F A T H E R S" :wink:
Also, "Contemporary Jazz". I've been on a Branford kick since last week.
And Lester Young, "The Keynote Collection, Vol. 1".

Interesting to compare Prez and Branford.

[electricninja]

Jamiroquai, "Butterfly"

This is the kind of stuff which is delicious like vanilla ice cream, but needs that chocolate syrup that only a sax could provide. 8)

[hannibal]

The last 5 albums I've jammed to in my practice room have been:

Earth Wind and Fire- Greatest Hits
Charlie Parker- Au Privave
Kenny Garret- Song Book
Phish- Bootleg from a '94 concert
Gary Bartz- Blues Chronicles

I've been stuck on Art Pepper + 11 in my car for ages. Not even sure why.

[BayviewSax]

Archie Shepp True Ballads

[werkinsnake]

I listen to many different types of saxophonist and all for different reasons. Parker's Ornithology, honestly I have the entire Parker box set, being one of my favorites. The guy was just ridiculously fast though I think that everyone reading this knows one riff that he seemed to use in every recording... in sixteenth notes,

D#,E,G,B, D,B,C,C#, A,A#,B,A, G,F#,E,D, C#,E,G,Bb, A,F#,(GAG),F#, D,Bb,A,D

() indicates triplets. But enough tab...

I also listen to Sonny Rollin's Saxophone Colossus. I love Rollins endless improve and superb use of the overtone.

Paul Desmond's sound in the Dave Brubeck Quartet is probably to this day the lightest, most emotional, and coolest ever to grace the alto saxophone. (alto is my instrument of choice so I'm a little partial)

Finally, I think that Leroi Moore of the Dave Matthews Band is probably one of the most inovative of modern saxophonists. Of course I love the band as I feel they are one of the only groups pushing mainstream forward, but to me it's Roi's playing that steals the show. Not only bringing 4 types of saxophones to all of the concerts, but also a Bass Clarinet, C soprano flute, and D pennywhistle. I respect the man because not only is his playing great for DMB, but he was an accompished jazz musician first.

And finally, I hope to someday listen to everyone in this forum.

1. One of those $7.98 compilations of Johnny Hodges. What a great sound.

2. Alto Summit. Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Pony Poindexter, and Leo Wright all playing together in the Black Forest (I mean in a studio in the black forest, not like actually out in the woods). It got lost in a move and just surfaced in the basement. Had to wash the mildew and weird crusty stuff off but it plays ok.

3. Sex Mob. It's a little silly, but sort of fun in short bursts.

Sorry guys,
I thought I had the right thread (at least I had the right title for the right thread) but the search brought me to a link for What are you listening to now? instead of What are you listening to right now? Guess it doesn't matter any more since I'm not listening to that any more right now anyway;)

[Tim Price]

SKERIK

Bande Originale du Film de Outre Mer

And;

Left for Dead in Seattle [IMPORT] by SKERIK.

Skerik....is one of the baddest cats out there.
Bar none.:toothy7:
He creates a cultural sphere which permits new levels of formulation
of just hard blowing tenor.Very important music in this era.While _most_people today are trying to stand in others shadows....SKERIK is out there playing some ever-fluid but omni-deep creative music.



Funkify Your Life: The Meters

If you want into the secrets of New Orleans Soul, look no further.
The METERS style encapsulates, fathoms and transcends blues, soul, R&B and funk. This is band so tight. George Porter's is also someone who trancends any boundary.
If you don't listen to the METERS your missing something!! <imho>

I second Tim's rave on "The Meters". Great funky bass lines. Look-Ka-Py-Py is a classic.

Aside from original soul/r&b material from this new band I am playing in (and trying to learn the horn parts) I am listening a lot to the Live in Brooklyn Groove Collective album. Saxophonist Jay Rodriguez's work is amazing. Check it out!

Oh yes!! Johnny Hodges. If you haven't heard him on Strayhorn's "Isfahan" from the Ellington Far East Suite, you have a supreme treat in store. Hodges could also seriously swing, as on "Things Ain't What They Used to Be", again with Ellington, but his tone on "Isfahan" is stunningly, hauntingly beautiful on one of the most evocative melodies ever written.

[Jazzy saxxer 4]

Right now I'm listening to "Goodnight Julia" on my computer. It's from the soundtrack of some TV show one of my friends watches and she heard it and told me I absolutely had to listen to it. It's the prettiest tenor solo I've ever heard, in fact makes me think that if I ever get serious about the tenor that's what I want to sound like. Other than that I've been hooked on "No name jive" by Glen Gray, Zoot's version of "Do Nothin till you hear from me" and Mulligan's "Georgia on my Mind." -SG 8-)

Our bands demo :-) I haven't been able to take it out of the CD player.
