@ElvisCostello I once serenaded a girl with this song, while she was being sick in a public bathroom after a party… maybe you and I both had a warped sense of romance when we were young
@tracey_thorn Like anything outside of one’s previous experience in music, it takes time and patience to appreciate so-called classical music (an ocean or a galaxy, there is so much of it, and so much variety). No shame in not wanting to make that journey, anyway, if that’s what you decide.
Remembering the great Wynton Kelly who was born on this day in 1931. Kelly is known for his lively, blues-based playing. He also contributed to Miles Davis' epochal album Kind of Blue.
Much more than a sideman, Kelly was truly special as a musician. His first album as a band leader, Piano Interpretations, was recorded in 1951 by Blue Note, when he was only 19 years old.
As Miles Davis said in his inimitable style: "Wynton's the light for the cigarette. He lights and fire keeps it going. Without him, there's no smoking. He is the only pianist who could make the tune get off the ground."
Here, he is performing Walkin' with John Coltrane on saxophone, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums live in Germany, 1960.
Soon! Produced by Eroc and Jeff Carney and featuring a special guest appearance by Richard Pinhas, 'Skylogue' reaches into cosmic territory that stays true to the masters of '70s electronic music ... @thelionlabel

@SVG__Collection Agree with your choice. I would also suggest Sonny Clark “Leapin’ and Lopin’” and Lee Morgan “Introducing…” on Savoy, among many others…
