Who doesn't love Dex!? Today is his birthday. What are your favorite Dexter tunes/albums. My favorite album is Doin' Allright. I also really like the blues on that album Society Red. Check out how behind the beat he sounds on the whole solo. It swings hard. That is Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.
Have you guys heard the album, Coltrane's Sound? I just recently became privy to it. It's cool. Trane superimposes his changes on some standards as well as plays a few of his originals. It's quickly becoming my favorite Trane album.
This is the first take of Body and Soul on the album (there are two)
P.S. The whole album is on youtube...
Congratulations to Gary and Chick for another Grammy win the other night. This one was for best instrumental solo for Hot House, a fantastic recording. After 40 years, they're still going strong. Saw a picture of Gary accepting the Grammy and he looked sharp in an all black suit. I hope the music continues for many more years. Ed
Hi everyone,
This is a recent video from Jay Ingram's show, in which Dr. Jessica Grahn talks about brain and music, particularly rhythm perception. I thought you guys would be interested.
I m doing similar stuff in my research. I know Jessica personally, although don t work directly with her.
Enjoy ! If you have questions... ;=)
Cheers,
Nico
it seems we forgot a very cool version with the singers...maybe because we don´t expect him to sing jazz.
i like this version because it´s so simple and clear.

Recently I have noticed, when on the Internet, on almost any page I visit whether it be a bulletin board or just pages browsing the Internet, there always seems to be certain key words that are highlighted in color and double underscored. These words do not have to be clicked on to activate. If you just pass your mouse cursor over the underscored words, then an annoying or unwanted ad pops up that appear to be sponsored by "QwikLinx". Move the cursor away and they go away in a couple of seconds or you can click the x box in upper right corner.
It's Christmas season, or Hanukkah/Kwanza/Solstice season (not trying to start the war on Christmas, though!). What are your favorite jazz Christmas albums?
A few that I like
GRP Christmas- Various artists (including Gary)
Crescent City Christmas Card- Wynton Marsalis
Oscar Peterson Christmas- Oscar Peterson, obviously
then of course
Charlie Brown Christmas- Vince Guraldi
What about YOU!?
