Episode 203: Discoveries I Made This Past Summer

Hello! In this episode I’m playing a few favourite recordings—lp’s and cd’s mostly. They are mostly ones I purchased at used record stores and thrift stores, as well as online, this past summer.

Here’s the ‘lineup’.

  1. P.J. Perry Quintet with Bob Tildsley. They Kept Bach’s Head Alive. A really fascinating way to start the podcast.
  2. Andre Previn, who many don’t think of when they think of jazz. From a 1960 album called “Give My Records to Broadway”.
  3. The Crusaders, featuring the funk bass of Marcus Miller. A Joe Sample composition.
  4. One of my favourite Victoria artists, Wes Carroll. From his latest cd.
  5. David Kikoski and Eric Alexander teaming up for a rollicking version of John Coltrane’s “Lazy Bird”. Nothing Lazy about that one!
  6. More from the Sunna Gunnlaugs Trio. And the bass player whose name I can’t pronounce is Þorgrimur Jónsson.
  7. Christof Lauer and Jens Thomas reinterpret Sting’s “Every Breath You Take”.
  8. The fastest version I think I’ve heard of I’ve Got Rhythm. The George Coleman Quintet.
  9. Emmett Cohen and the Future Stride album.
