TSR&#x27;s One Album a Day Club

Original post by Sinnoh

Are compilation albums fair game then?

I guess so? :laugh:

I didn't realise it was a compilation when it got suggested, but we don't have any rules against them.

Anyway that Smiths compilation was very good. Makes me want to listen to them more now. 8/10. Especially liked the first track.

for poll votes, winner will be tonight's album. Or we could have a jazz week if it remains split, either works for me. :p:

Sarah Vaughan²

Lullaby Of Birdland - Amazing. Loved the scat around the middle. :yy:

April In Paris - Not bad at all, for a slower, longer track. :yy:

He's My Guy - Nice. :yy:

Jim - Alright. Maybe a bit too slow for me.

You're Not The Kind - Bit more upbeat, I like. :yy:

Embraceable You - Lyrics in this one were a little odd. :laugh:

I'm Glad There Is You - Cute.

September Song - Enjoyed this. :yy:

Though it doesn't quite beat Earth, Wind & Fire. :p:

It's Crazy - A lot of fun. :yy:

7/10, definitely started with the strongest track IMO.

Sarah Vaughan
Yeah not sure I'd be relistening to this one that much, but I did enjoy listening to it. Definitely more interesting than the Billie Holiday album. Ditto the 7/10.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'

Moanin - mmm that was good. I like squealing saxophones.

Are You Real - :yy:

bit more upbeat

Along Came Betty - bit more moody.

The Drum Thunder Suite - definitely sounds like it. Favourite so far.

Blues March - worked well.

Come Rain Or Come Shine - good

Yeah that was good, decent variety of sounds so it didn't just sound like one long improv session. 8/10

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'

Moanin' - Fantastic intro so many varied sounds! :yy:

Are You Real - Great energy. :yy:

Along Came Betty - Still good. :yy:

But a bit slower, I preferred the previous two.

The Drum Thunder Suite - Yeah, have to agree this was the best so far. :yy:

Superb drumming.

Blues March - Very nice. :yy:

Come Rain Or Come Shine - Solid ending. :yy:

9/10 for me, really enjoyed it.

Album #222

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7Eoz7hJvaX1eFkbpQxC5PA

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

Part 1: "Acknowledgement" - Ooh, this was good. And he gave us some vocals too! :yy:

Part 2: "Resolution" - Probably my favourite piece I've heard from him so far. :yy:

Part 3: "Pursuance" - Nice drum intro, then it escalated quickly! Long bass solo ending was certainty different. Really got into it. :yy:

Part 4: "Psalm" - I'm not usually a fan of overly religious themed lyrics, but apparently they're fine when read using a saxophone. :yy:

10/10 - as someone who doesn't usually listen to jazz, the two other John Coltrane albums we've had were nice background music, but didn't really 'wow' me. For some reason, this one did.
