- Ornithology, Charlie Parker.
There a lot of good pieces on this prime cd, which features ballads and of course a lot of be-bop. The one i got is a sort of compilation with three CD's each with 14 tracks. Which is almost every one of Charlie Parkers own compositions.
- Juju (1964), Wayne Shorter.
I'm a big fan of Wayne Shorter, and this CD features a lot of great stuff of his. One of the things i like about it is, that it seems like the melody and the chords have been written at the same time, instead of laying down a bunch of chords and adding a melody or the other way around. Here's the title track, Juju:
This piece features a fantastic drum solo by Elvin Jones himself. McCoy Tyner on Piano and Reggie Workman on Bass and of course Wayne Shorter on Tenor Saxophone. But as a drummer i will of course recommend checking Elvin's solo out.
- Duke Ellington meets Coleman Hawkins (1962), Duke Ellington.
This album features an octet with the following:
- Duke Ellington (piano)
- Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone)
- Aaron Bell (bass)
- Lawrence Brown (trombone)
- Harry Carney (bass clarinet, baritone saxophone)
- Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone)
- Ray Nance (violin, cornet)
- Sam Woodyard (drums)
There a lot of smooth stuff on this one and is sure worth listening to. Here's one of Duke Ellingtons early ones (1930), which is also included on this album:
- Heavy Weather (1977), Weather Report.
Here's one classic also with Wayne Shorter. And of course Jaco, Acuna, Zawinul and Badrena. This one speaks for itself as it is widely known among many, especially this one:
Then i also got a few rock albums:
- Raw Power (1973) , Iggy and the Stooges.
This is some of the earliest punk, and is a must have for anybody who likes punkrock.
- Troen & Ingen (2010), Søren Huss.
This is a very beautiful danish album, by former Saybia frontman.
Hope everybody had a nice Christmas!
