On 52nd Street
his eyes and whispered to no one,
"Same thing last night." Everyone
been coming all week long
to hear this. The big brown bass
sighed and slumped against
the piano, the cymbals held
their dry cheeks and stopped
chicking and chucking. You went
back to drinking and ignored
the unignorable. When the door
swung open it was Pettiford
in work clothes, midnight suit,
starched shirt, narrow black tie,
spit shined shoes, as ready
as he'd ever be. Eyebrows
raised, the Irish bartender
shook his head, so Pettiford eased
himself down at an empty table,
closed up his Herald Tribune, |

Lest the indie kids con themselves into thinking jazz is music to sleep to, Layman delves into idiosyncratic listmaking to explain why jazz is still a living, aching, breathing thrill.
I really like jazz, you know, for relaxing. Like: for falling asleep.
Jazz all sounds the same to me. Just a bunch of boo-doooh, deeee, on and on.
I'd like to like jazz, but I don't even know where to start!
The first two comments, well . . . But that last one begs for a response. The list. The litany of great jazz albums that every fan has up his sleeve: your desert-island discs, your High Fidelity Top-Five All-Time Favorites, your personal Penguin Guide crown-earners. If you are a serious jazz fan, I probably already know your basic list: some early Armstrong, Basie on Decca, Ellington 1940-41, up through Kind of Blue and maybe some Ornette. Let's face it: that list of the Greatest Jazz Ever is not only predictable, but it's also daunting. Your friend who'd really like to like jazz has either already heard of Miles Davis or — increasingly, these days — would want a more exciting list. |
