Just thought it would be fun to throw around some names, what are you all listening to at the moment ???
What am I listening to you ask ? well i'm glad you asked, at the moment i'm at work listening to " Ocean of Earth" by Kevin Norton (percussion, marimba), Joelle Leandre (contrabass) and Tomas Ulrich (cello) a fabulous improv record and....... Charles Mingus presents Charles Mingus...which is an essential if you don't own it already...love how the entire audience doesn't even make one single peep...i'm sure Mingus would have smashed a bass on em if they did...contains my fav rendition of "Fables of Faubus"

Best band I've ever heard, but IMO,Tony Williams is *the* guy on this. It's my first real introduction to Ron Carter, as well as my first real introduction to Shorter and Hancock outside of their fusion contexts of the 70's, but still -- Tony Williams is the guy on this CD, especially on the track "Gingerbread Boy."
I'm having a hard time NOT calling him my favourite drummer. He's usurped the throne from Max Roach and Jack Dejohnette, now...incredible player.

Absolutely ferocious grooving here. I like this one better than Bass on Top.
Brian Bromberg---Wood
Yeah, I too picked it up due to all the discussion on these threads. It's great. The double stops in "Come Together" sound soooo damn good. (no arco to be found though)
The Mars Volta---Frances the Mute
This is an astonishing recording from one of the most forward thinking rock bands to come along in a LONG while. I can't stop listening to it. |

I really thing Zenon is one of the most exciting guys out there right now. Great player, but his compositions are what really floor me. Check out that first track of the SFJazz record. It's killer! |

I guess these not only feature Steve Swallow on bass, but also alotta John Scofield (except for the first one). I like him too. |

Oh yes, the topic: I'm listening to--
Roy Haynes, Paul Chambers, Phineas Newborn "We Three"
(the bass is recorded really well on this one, way up front, and PC is PC)
James Brown "Funk Power" (based on the recommendation of this board a few weeks back--a must-have, I'd say)
Emma Kirkby singing the lead role in Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" (1689) (oooooh she's divine--if you don't want to bother with the whole opera, the last air "When I Am Laid In Earth" is the one to check out, with this cool descending bassline over which this melting lament is juxtaposed with different phrase lengths. Very cool.) |

If this is so, I'd also like to recommend Parrott's subsequent interpretation of the opera with Emily Van Evera as Dido in 1999.
Back to the subject: I'm listening to Derek Bailey's Ballads. Very "out there" but really beautiful. |
