Finally, I can get a nomination on the board (as I feel I nicked Gershwin from Sadds). I stumbled across this in my readings, had a listen and it sounds great. EDIT: then added the Monk tune "Un Poco Loco" - Bud Powell "Round Midnight" - Thelonious Monk

It's just great that people are getting really involved in this thread. In addition to setting the scene for the rock era that we will discuss from 1960 onwards, part of the idea of these introductory rounds was to work out any issues with the format, so a few faux-pas is to be expected. So no...

Yes, but you said "it's a bit long for the playlist" and as such it hadn't been added :) Anyway, good choice, it's a fine piece of music.

I assume that you are referring to Duke Ellington's and Juan Tizol's "Caravan", which is a jazz standard with over 500 uses. Note that I've read that on Wikipedia or anything. However, I would like to nominate something that has already been mentioned. Somebody said that it was too long for the...

Thanks @threespires, this was a good introduction to jazz. The first few songs reminded me of the music that is played whilst you walk down Main Street in Disneyland/Magic Kingdom, especially "Jelly Roll Blues" by Jelly Roll Morton. I love that old-time/Vaudeville feel. Then you can hear the...

Now you know I'm honest and not checking the scores before I guess!

Tough guesses these, given the format. For example, given that BimboBob nominated Greta Van Fleet, I can only imagine me, OB1 or Gornik selecting this for the playlist, but then none of us would have discovered them here. 1. Deacon Brodie - the Yawpers OB1 2. The Heat Above - Greta...

@Coatigan - we can post our guesses on here, right?

"Dogs At Bay" - Bad // Dreems

Gone Too Soon The last time that @Out on blue 6 created a playlist, he gave me Dennis Wilson's brilliant "River Song" that I'm still playing regularly all these months later. This time he kicks off with another couple of good tracks that I'd never heard before: "Buzzin' Fly" by Tim Buckley and...

You didn't pick one of them for the playlist, did you?

Who's Notthreespireshonest? I shall be playing this game WITHOUT referring to the scores in the spreadsheet. here's the playlist:-

Finished the final book the other day - see review in the Reading 2024 thread. Chet Baker appears - just had a quick read about his life after listening to "My Funny Valentine". Seems like throwing your looks and life away on drugs isn't a new phenomenon.

I've quoted Bill but this is just a general reminder. The idea of this thread is that we try to discuss things in the era/year that is currently on topic. So, in this case, as A Love Supreme is from 1964, that should be mentioned/discussed when 1964 comes up, referring back to the Miles Davis...

Yeah, but you can add it to the 1961 playlist and discuss it in a few weeks.

Yes, I understand the issues for the NHS and said that in my post. In my case, the PSA was a 100% indicator of Prostate Cancer. Interesting about your mate. With no symptoms and a low PSA, why did he have further scans and a biopsy? There must have been something that made the doctors want to...

But before Jazz, just catching up with these last three nominations. How about Robert Petway for something approaching the Robert Johnson myth:- Birth date unknown, death date unknown Nobody knows where he went People are not sure whether his name is Petway or Pettyway Only one known photo...

Superb. Looking forward to listening to this because I don’t know much about jazz. If my Dad was still with us, I’d be picking his brains for additions here but as it is, I’ll be just going with the flow.

I hope everybody has enjoyed listening to the blues this week. Thanks to @Saddleworth2 for a great write-up and for kicking us off in style. Listening to these old songs, you can certainly hear where many of the guitar players of the last 70 years got their influences. Now it's over to...
