Tuesday Afternoon Jazz: Random Track Edition
Again, sorry for the delays between jazz posts, but nothing was really striking me for a while. I've been busy, stressed, sick, etc., and mostly listening to Bob Dylan and opera. But, I'm returning to jazz. Last night, I was washing dishes, and just popped in a Mulgrew Miller CD, and everything clicked into place.Today, I've returned to the Live Trane boxset I mentioned last month. I'm still working my way through it. Today, while reading Against the Day, ever so slowly making my way through that 1,100-page beast, this 18-minute version of "Mr. P.C." sent me into a hierophantic place where I saw & understood all. Which is all we can ask for from a Tuesday afternoon.
UPDATE: I only just now realized that I'd already uploaded "Mr P.C." once back in early-November, also from Live Trane. It was, however, I think from another disc of the set. So, fear not, and enjoy the rearrangement and improvisation. And ... stay tuned next week, when I'll upload tracks from the classic live 1949 Christmas show, Charlie Parker & Stars of Modern Jazz at Carnegie Hall. I've been waiting all year to do that.
