Update: 2025-11-11
Description
Some more great recordings of (mostly) tunes that I've discovered from Chuck Sher's "Standards Real Book". They include (not in order):
- On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (played by Howard Roberts and crew)
- Hey There (a beautiful version by pianist Tommy Banks and singer Big Miller---both from Edmonton)
- If I Should Lose You (a lovely standard played and sung by Sweden's Ellas Kapell...featuring the amazing guitar of Manne Skavenstedt)
- Wheelers and Dealers (a very timely Dave Frishberg song, here sung by Kelly Eisenhour with Bob Minter on sax)
- (not in standards real book) Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn Medly, played by Greg Burrows big band (Ed Bonoff arrangement).
- Christmas Time Is Here (yeah I know its not yet), played by guitarist Mike Rud with pianist John Stetch.
- The Man I Love (What a version by Don Shirley....and his trio of cello and bass. ten minutes long, and never boring!)
- Sunny, written by Bobby Hebb. Here played by Oscar Peterson on hammond organ, with Joe Pass and Ray Brown
- Meditation, by the composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim, with vocal by Frank Sinatra).
- That Sunday That Summer, played by pianist Beegie Adair and her trio.
- Red Clay, by Freddie Hubbard...here played by The Ed Vedzinho Hiptet. (how many in a hiptet? Answer: as many as you want)
