Thatā€™s one of the best Keith albums, recorded just after he had a long break from playing and performing.

The wikipedia article has a good detailed description:

Thereā€™s some wonderful bluesy tunes and material to transcribe in the B-side of the album:

  • 00:00 - A1 Take The ā€œAā€ Train
  • 02:41 - A2 Gee Baby Ainā€™t I Good To You
  • 05:46 - A3 Ainā€™t Misbehavinā€™
  • 09:41 - A4 Iā€™ve Got The World On A String
  • 13:08: - A5 The Midnight Sun Never Sets

B-Side

  • 17:12 - B1 Real Gone Guy
  • 19:23 - B2 Undecided
  • 23:03 - B3 Ivy League Blues
  • 26:49 - B4 Love And Marriage
  • 30:50 - B5 Give Me The Simple Life

Cheers!

Iā€™m a fan of the German trumpeter Till Brƶnner. Recently, I came across this video which is about recording, rather than a recording itself. I thought it might be interesting for us to see and hear about the process of creating a session. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the keyboard sideman on Brƶnnerā€™s albums that Iā€™ve been listening to is Larry Goldings, who is to me one of the best contemporary players.

Hereā€™s a song from the session.

Holy Cow! That keyboardist nailed it! I love watching him use the 2 level boards. The samples he chose were spot on, and blends so well. And then it was such choice moments, when heā€™d double the line he was playing, using both hands. Nailed it! Thanks for sharing. Inspired to figure out my synth:)

Love this! Iā€™ve never heard Phineas Newborn before, and this was just delightful. I especially loved Ainā€™t Misbehavinā€™ and Love & Marriage.

Yeah - I love this guys left hand work, from walking to stride to doubling the melody, love it.

I havenā€™t heard this song in 15 years it seem, and it just popped back in my head. I had to give it a listen, and itā€™s still such a magical piece. I love the whole album and in particular the 1st 4 songs leading into this (as the 4th) has the most amazing crescendo effect that gives me chills everytime. Itā€™s a wonderful mix of jazz, classical and world influences, and one that stands the test of time.

And ā€œDolphin Danceā€ā€¦ what a great tune for him to come back from his 5 year break.

this old Lp from some of my favourite jazz musician for some quiet and soulful night

Nice one, Pierre! I came across a couple of his albums recently and marked them for further listening.

Im curious about a thing. Do you know any minor blues recording guys ?
Thanks

Hereā€™s something from Camila Meza, a singer/songwriter/guitarist from Chile who is currently working in NYC. Sheā€™s writing some interesting stuff. Hereā€™s one that I believe is an original. (I posted another in the section for discovering vocalists where she performs a Jobim tune.) The interplay between guitar and piano is nice in the ride.
