^^ A tune I had not heard before, which is weird, thot I had found them all. Groovin Bass.
Deborah Dyer, wow !
A few minutes later I'm thinking how this tune would rock as a soundtrack for an action flick, the finale is awesome.
THE SKINS - Killer
the hook

On another wavelength, strings and voices.

This checks all the boxes for late 1950s to early 1960s club-style jazz. It's coming up on midnight and the oxygen in the dimly lit room is competing with the smoke from cigarettes and joints, layered on the olfactory excitations from the volatile compounds of gin and other spirits.

"Lotus Blossom", from the Quiet Kenny album from New Jazz Records. Recorded in 1959. The Kenny Dorham Quartet with Kenny Dorham (trumpet), Tommy Flanagan (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Art Taylor (drums).

A safe bet for "a tune you may not have heard", judging by most of the other "entries" in this thread.

One that came up on the Comcast jazz channel. I took a particular liking to it. Other than that, I wouldn't know Kenny Dorham from Adam, as the saying goes. Maybe they were the Durhams until someone misspelled their name and the misspelling stuck?

That's real good tunage, thank you.
Some of the very best tune from The Jazz Messengers, and yes, it's been many years, since the '60s.
Pretty sure my neighbor played this in those years, how that opening bar sets it up, unforgettable, distinct virtuosity.



Sets the mood for the day.

quote Originally posted by cvxjet: My favorite band from my teens on was Queen- mainly their first 5 albums. I was really into the guitarist (Brian May- very under-rated) Recently, with the BoRhap movie coming out, I wrote a list of songs of theirs that don't sound like Queen....Drowse is one of the best- written and lead sung by the drummer, Roger Taylor; I don't have a clue how to embed a vid so here's a link;

Morgan James is one of the greatest female voices of all time.



The first time I heard her come in at 1:36 in this PMJ video back in 2015, I was blown away. I was an instant fan.



"Live from Dizzy's" is a great album, start to finish. Rinselberg might even like it.
