Davis, Coltrane, Hawkins






During the last few months I have been returning (delving back into) my passion for jazz.   I have been listening to many of my favorite recordings.  I am especially fond of John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Parker because of their focus on the saxophone.  But, I think today, the first link I have listed is my favorite for this moment.... it is an early Miles Davis and it is from the period of time where I think his music was at its peak.  All three songs are exceptional, so please listen to all three... but if you can only pick one.... listen to "It Never Entered My Mind". 
Hawkins.

Amazing work and amazing music and creativity.

    All great choices and I would add Dave Brubeck and Thelonius Monk.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
