I tried "My Favorite Things" (and numerous other Coltrane tracks) long ago. All sorried. Good luck with this attempt. The "Flamenco Sketches" I love, but is also an unlikely add (though I did have some success—my very first add ever!—with "One for Daddy-O" by Miles and Cannonball). Now, the Coleman Hawkins reading of "Body and Soul" is both classic and an RP-friendly length, so if I were a betting man, I would lay even odds on Rebecca giving it the RP seal of approval.

To much jazz!

1	john coltrane - my favorite things	new	0/0 (0%)	320
2	coleman hawkins - body and soul	new	0/0 (0%)	320
3	miles davis - flamenco sketches	reviewing	0/0 (0%)	320

well , we will see ...

now i know why i never uploaded ' my favorite things '
it has been rejected twice before , which stopped me before , but not this time !!!
which leads me to believe that it may be the version or a tech snafu that gets a song rejected
which means we should all re encode and try try again ...

Evidently I was writing the definitive guide to gift-giving.  Or at least a three-page treatise on the subject.
 
I see the thread started (years ago) with a comment about Patricia Barber.  I was on a huge Patricia Barber kick this summer.  Perfect for driving around after dark with the top down.  Oddly, I tried to listen to her the other day and it just wasn't the same.  I couldn't get into it at all.  But that is one of the great things about jazz, isn't it?  It is as if the music has a personality of its own.  Maybe all music has a personality, I don't know.  But much of jazz has a very definite, distinct personality.  Some of it is joyful.  Some of it is angry.  Some of it is downright sexy but if you asked me what was sexy about it I probably couldn't answer.
 
Wait, that has nothing to do with what ya'll are discussing.  Nevermind, back to the regularly scheduled programming.  I'm off to bed and maybe I'll have something to say worth reading tomorrow.  But don't count on it!

They probably had to get it in between commercials.  They're pros, they can handle it.  I almost always got my little brother albums for Xmas, but I certainly didn't let him pick them out.  He is eight years my junior and started high school at the onset of the disco era.  I felt sorry for him and was trying to do what I could to help out him and his poor friends some of whom didn't have older siblings.

Wait!  You aren't allowed to have a conversation about jazz without me.  It says so in the rules.

Gee look what I found in just a couple of links from that.

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things - 1961

Sadly though old enough to have seen this stuff when it was on, my taste in music had not quite progressed far enough yet and don't remember any of this stuff.

david sanborn on tv

i guess we have to do it ourselves

1958 ... the subject is jazz

b/w series on tv back in the day ...

It's always worth a try, you really never can tell.  I've actually gotten a seven minute Stanley Jordan cut added and played.   It was of course hated by God and Manbird alike, but that doesn't bother me.

heh heh , around this time of year i get to thinking if rp could handle ' my favorite things ' by coltrane

 I couldn't agree more and if it were my station every track on it would be on the playlist.  Good luck with the upload.  That being said, as much Miles as there is in the library already (by jazz standards) we really should try to get something other than the Coltrane/Adderley and the Gil Evans sessions.  There's nothing from the early Bird and Red Garland years, the Wayne Shorter/Herbie Hancock bands, the John McLaughin electric stuff, and on and on.  So much to upload and so few slots.

Sounds like Bill's up.

If you get the book you're not going to be able to stop at anywhere near four, you do know that don't you?
 
 
 BTW The Armstrong is a four disc set and the Getz/Barron two, so you could look at it as eight already.
