Jazz #2

[@bariswheel]

I enjoy the older posts as well, very educational and insightful and adds perspective to my jazz knowledge.

[@MrEjw3]

Hey Dereck! This was on my recommended videos so checked it out as you never disappoint. I really appreciate the diversity of everything you showed. Thanks for expanding my Jazz horizons! Peace!

[@Jpeezy65]

just saw this, and did my usual music investigation, and was not surprised to see that elvin jones also recorded with oregon (been hooked on this group lately, was led to oregon after listening to lonnie liston smith), now that is a great album also. thanks for all the trip advice past, present and future, its why i watch all of these music and vinyl community videos.

[@kevinogracia1615]

I love your passion for music. You BAD.....

[@dereckvon]

@EarlofSuave308 It's based on how much the music resonates with me consistently over the years. Side two in particular.

[@sainteal]

I LOVE these Jazz Videos! Would Love to see another! You presented a couple of albums ( four actually ) that I had no awareness of and I am SO appreciative for that! So grateful to have found this video!

[@mfullwood]

I bought that Bennie Maupin album on the strength of this recommendation because it sounded like something I'd like. I have not been disappointed. It is excellent! Has fast become one of my fave jazz albums.

Amazing Jazz Collection Dereck

[@stereo999]

The model on the cover of Moon Beams is Nico (of Velvet Underground fame)

[@vinylarchaeologist]

Yes, indeed!

[@fatbackfunk]

YES!!!! Ronald Shannon Jackson!! I love that man & his music..!! My first Decoding Society Lp was Decode Yourself, I heard the 1st track cover of Bird's "Bebop" and knew instantly I would fall in love with that record! I own all of them. I was just listening to Zane Massey's "Brass Knuckles album yesterday. Even RSJ's later output is stellar, "Raven Roc" & "What Spirit Say" Saw him on the "Raven Roc" tour. One of the most melodic & monstrous drummers! Very deep musician.

[@3340steve]

I was lucky enough to hear (by accident) Sonny Sharrock ....it was my favorite experience of being stunned by an artist who came out of left field totally...his recording Ask the Ages with Pharoah Saunders Elvin Jones and Charnett Moffat is a crucial date, as important to me as Hendrix' s Electric Maryland.

[@loxeggcheese]

I had a similar experience when I heard that Sharrock record for the first time. The album was given to me with no introduction, so when I put it on I had no idea what I was about to listen to... I was just blown away!!! Also I loved what you said about Albert Ayler, that man was a god! His tone and playing is so wild and fast and he still manages to make each note he strikes so damn meaningful and intimate. Truly humbling stuff.

[@dereckvon]

@fatbackfunk I agree that Ask the Ages is stellar, I have it on cd but would love a vinyl copy. Grachan Moncur will be coming up. It's great sharing this enthusiasm about the music with you.

[@mrhoffame]

If it's okay with you I'm going to ask my wife if I can come over and play this weekend lol. Great stuff as always. Again I had to write down a few names to check out. Thanks for sharing.

[@EarlofSuave308]

"This is one of the finest pieces of Music that I own" (re: Bernie Maupin) That is a mighty bold statement coming from you considering the size of your collection.

[@shutthefuckupdonny99]

Damn! I'm taking notes. One of my top ten is 'Tenor Conclave' on Prestige Records. Mobley, Cohn, Coltrane, Sims. It's a real gem.

[@lukejackson81]

I should finally be getting Bennie Maupin's the Jewel in the Lotus in the next day or two. I finally found it (or won an ebay auction) for I price I don't mind paying. I am also a fan of John McLaughlin and Jimmy McGriff.

[@carlosandresloaiza8656]

Excelente musica hermano, me llena de alegria observar todo ese buen material de Jazz en todas sus facetas, felicitaciones. La gran mayoría de músicos de jazz tuvieron fusiones con lo latino (Joe Henderson, Charlie Parker, Juan Amalbeet, Art Peper, Gillespie, Paroha Sanders, entre muchos más) podrías realizar un vídeo basado en el Jazz Latino.. Gracias amigo.

[@SublimMedia]

Song of the wind just went up to my top "must have"!

[@puck4880]

Hi Derek When my father died we play Past + Present = Future at his funeral from Bennie Maupins record The Jewel In The Lotus.

[@fatbackfunk]

Man I've been recommending Thembi to everyone on here.. That's an essential piece right there. And yes Sonny Sharrock!! Monkey Pockie Boo is insane."Ask the Ages" is my fave, that is perfection. I mean Sonny, Elvin Jones, Charnett, AND Pharoah? c'mon now.. And yep I knew you had some World Saxophone Quartet in that collection. Agree 100% on your thoughts of Ayler! Cecil is a beast! I Soooo want those Don Cherry & Parker lp's.. Any Grachan Moncur? "Evolution" is incredible.

[@chanteldesousa3104]

That Friends (John Abercrombie etc) album is so, SO good.

[@TomFazzini]

I too love this Art Tatum album Dereck. So much so I have the vinyl on Pablo and a CD copy..

[@beatjunky101]

Love the "Moon Beams" comment..."you tryna get something goin on....consider it done". Love your videos man

[@Blueecm]

I really want to get that Bennie Maupin record now. I had no idea he released an album on ECM.

[@fatbackfunk]

And totally agree with you on Moon Beams.. gorgeous record indeed.. And yes I can see how that one would assist in that particular area..:) And yes that Maupin Lp is outstanding. Sadly I only have the digital version, need that one vinyl. ECM great label as is the Strata East label, which has put out some of my all time faves. Holdsworth is a god! Ya know the record I really dig is "Velvet Darkness" with one of my favorite drummers Narada. I love how raw it is.. Holdsworth is absolutely killing

[@dereckvon]

@fatbackfunk He's spoken about it in a few printed interviews. But I had the great pleasure of hanging out with him before a show (1986) and I wish I had a picture of the face he made when I spoke of my love for that title.

[@MrProgjazz]

Ayler...Don Cherry...Pharoah...Shannon Jackson...damn! That is some killer stuff Dereck. That Kuhn "Impressions of New York" record is really great too...I used to have a copy and traded it in for some stupid reason. Need to replace it at some point.

[@nigelmiller5609]

Joe Farrells solo CTI work is extremely under-rated!

[@shiveringfishproductions3971]

I'm a big fan of both Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff. Do you have any Shirley Scott? For my personal taste, I put her right up there with Smith and McGriff.

[@dereckvon]

@fatbackfunk I will look for some Zane Massey. Thank you!

[@fatbackfunk]

@dereckvon Yeah as far as I know Ask The Ages STILL has not been released on vinyl which is very unfortunate & disappointing. Hopefully someday it will.. And yeah man I'm really digging these videos your posting, keep em' coming..!!

[@315WestProductions]

Nice video! I've only seen that Benny Maupin album on the internet. I'd like to find that one some day. I'd also like to get that 'Impressions of NY' one! Thanks for sharing man; never heard of Barre before now.

[@dereckvon]

@fatbackfunk You knoe Allen has disowned that record but I agree with you, it's very tasty.

[@fatbackfunk]

@dereckvon Really? I wasn't aware of Mr. Holdsworth not approving of that V.D. record.. interesting.. Whatever I dig it, and yes very tasty..!

[@dereckvon]

@SublimMedia You won't regret it.

[@dereckvon]

@mrhoffame You and the wife would be most welcome anytime. Are you in the US?

[@jamesmetzger6657]

Excellent video Dereck! Check out my vinyl vids if you would like. I will upload my jazz stuff fairly soon.

[@myronhelton4441]

Your records are best.Bennie Maupin on youtube on vinyl is the most atmostperic that I have heard, maybe the best. If I can find samples on cd at cduniverse.com or allmusic.com, to see if the cd is good. Probably not. I have several of your records picked out. Thank you very much. If you click on my name and click on playlists, you may find my collection.
