Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata

I've been getting back into jazz a lot lately. I felt it was time for another jazz album since it had been a few months. My favorite Roland Kirk albums. Really everything he did is excellent. Yes, I did get the name of this blog from one of the songs on this album.

Miles Davis - Filles De Kilimanjaro

Pre Bitches Brew and In A Silent Way. Just as awesome.

1. Frelon Brun (Brown Hornet)
2. Tout de Suite
3. Petits Machins (Little Stuff)
4. Filles de Kilimanjaro (Girls of Kilimanjaro)
5. Mademoiselle Mabry (Miss Mabry)

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady

My favorite Mingus album. I don't know what to say about it other than it's really good. Here's a good description of it "Written as a ballet, the work borrows from Ellingtonian and Latin sources, but creates a unique orchestral style that Mingus called "ethnic folk-dance music".

1. "Track A — Solo Dancer" –6:20
"Stop! Look! and Listen, Sinner Jim Whitney!"
2. "Track B — Duet Solo Dancers" –6:25
"Hearts' Beat and Shades in Physical Embraces"
3. "Track C — Group Dancers" –7:00
"(Soul Fusion) Freewoman and Oh, This Freedom's Slave Cries"
4. –17:52
"Mode D — Trio and Group Dancers"
"Stop! Look! and Sing Songs of Revolutions!"
"Mode E — Single Solos and Group Dance"
"Saint and Sinner Join in Merriment on Battle Front"
"Mode F — Group and Solo Dance"
"Of Love, Pain, and Passioned Revolt, then Farewell, My Beloved, 'til It's Freedom Day"

Thelonious Monk - Solo Monk

One of my favorite jazz albums. Monk by himself, playing some perfect songs. It feels weird hearing monk play all by himself and not with a backing band.

1. Dinah
2. I Surrender, Dear
3. Sweet And Lovely
4. North Of The Sunset
5. Ruby, My Dear
6. I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)
7. I Hadn't Anyone Until You
8. Everything Happens To Me
9. Monk's Point
10. I Should Care
11. Ask Me Now
12. These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)
13. Introspection

Miles Davis - The Bitches Brew

Basically on this I will be uploading some albums that I'm listening to. I'd like to try and keep this as a daily thing, but I'll see how that goes. Really all that will be up here are random Jazz albums that I like and hardcore stuff that I'm into. If a link ever goes down just let me know and I'll re-up it as soon as I can.

I figure I might as well put up my favorite album ever made.
Miles Davis - The Bitches Brew
I can't describe how much my perception on music changed when I first listened to this album.
I was blown away by everything about it. This was the very first jazz album I ever heard in my life. There really isn't anything to say about it that hasn't been said before. I would highly recommend purchasing The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions.

1. Pharaoh's Dance
2. Bitches Brew
3. Spanish Key
4. John McLaughlin
5. Miles Runs The Voodoo Down
6. Sanctuary
