Here's Jimmy Smith doing 'Scrapple from the Apple' with Christian McBride, Art Taylor, Nick Payton, Roy Hargrove, Mark Turner and folks.

Anyway, my grasp of harmonic theory (and hell, music theory in general) is flimsy enough that I'm basically using this page as my reference, although this page and the one following it are probably be highly informative if they don't go right over the reader's head.

"Rhythm-a-ning", Thelonious Monk Quartet

Here's the Ben Perowsky Trio (w/Scott Colley and Chris Speed) doing a loose version of Segment, lesser known Parker tune.

I think I have a Geri Allen version of that one...

Well they do make jazz threads easier to spot...

Found it! Charlie Parker's "Segment" by Geri Allen with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian ca. 1989

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Saturday, 1 April 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Nice.

Holy mother of moley, I need that Monk album NOW! Why I don't have more Johnny Griffin records is beyond me! (Like every other jazz-newbie, I just have A Blowin' Session)

It's "Thelonious in Action" just so's you know. "Misterioso" is from the same night at the Five Spot. Both Riverside/OJC.

Oh yeah, that's my jam. That was the first thing I thought to post.

Instead, another burner: Sonny Rollins with Jim Hall (for anyone who hasn't heard it):

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Sunday, 2 April 2006 03:20 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, that tune is bad.

I always come back to Ysabel's Table Dance from Mingus' Tijuana Moods: 5min 59 sec. - my favourite transition ever ... albeit probably involving a tape splice.

Bump it up for weekday.

Someone recommended Dexter Gordon’s “Apple Jump” as a good slow tempo tune to practice along with and it’s great!

“Second Balcony Jump” from GO too.

always wondered about the other Austin. i guess that clears it up.

incidentally my brain went immediately to the same place as Austin 1.0, whose ysi link i'm guessing stopped working many years ago. so here's this. stick around for Larry Gales's amazing solo:

Has "Lester Leaps In" not been posted? It's one I was initially caught off-guard and embarrassed by at a jam and then made a point of learning it and playing it subsequently. Jams have started up again so maybe I should review it.
