BUDDY GUY "living proof", cd, 2010.
firstly, im not a big fan of "the blues", i like BB King, bits of Stevie Ray, Clapton and a few other bits and pieces, but like MH says....theres only so many places the blues can be taken.
got this one as a recommendation from Corey a while ago...wanted a Buddy album to hear prior to seeing him perform at the Blues/Roots festival the other week.
Eric Clapton calls Buddy Guy "the greatest blues guitarist of all time"...and from what ive heard of the blues, i think he is right.
75 year old Buddy played a couple of these tracks in his show...he sounds better live than on record, like most good seasoned performers i guess.
guest appearances from 83 year old BB King on here and also Carlos Santana,each on one track each....
pretty much an album of tracks looking back on his life and career added with a touch of religion....very,very good album for "blues" IMO, but then again im not an authority on the blues, just know what i like, thats all....
shame theres no good live links for these tracks as they would be well worth it IMO
roll on the next Buddy Guy purchase...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Plays WC Handy-Louis Armstrong
I don't usually go for jazz this far back that's not Stan Kenton (it never really got going until Mingus debuted in 1959 imo), but I just felt like it today. Great stuff, really easy to listen to, but never boring. And really, who doesn't love old Louis' great voice

Free jazz masterpiece, this one. The 8nterplay amongst the musicians is so incredible, very fluid playing with some incredibly jarring instrumentation

CHARLES MINGUS - Jazz Composers Workshop (1955)
![[Image: Jazz_Composers_Workshop.jpg]](http://www.music-discussion.com/wiki/File:Jazz_Composers_Workshop.jpg)
Charles Mingus, bassist, pianist, composer and band leader, is possibly the greatest jazz composer in history...at the least definitely one of the best! His masterpiece The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady (1963) is still regarded as the "best" jazz album in history even after all of nearly 50 years!
On this album, Jazz Composers Workshop, Mingus shows us his passion for contemporary classical music along with innovative jazz phrasings to old standards. It was the beginning of exciting things to come. On this recording Mingus is accompanied by a quartet of saxophones, clarinet, piano and drums. The most notable player is Mal Waldron on piano who later on in his career would delve into the avant garde jazz genre. Also on saxophones and clarinet is Teo Macero who produced Miles Davis' masterpiece Kind of Blue.

"possibly the greatest composer in jazz"
by possibly you mean "objectively", and by jazz you mean "all of music in general", right?
What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 02-05-2012
Yes you're el correcto, Matt! I don't like to use the words best and greatest but in this case I'll make an exception. Mingus was an intellectual as well as a humble common man and it showed in his musical diversity and composing. He wasn't pigeon-holed into a "formula" so to speak like Ellington and Basie with others.
His compositions were interesting and at times mesmerising to listen to. Bebop, Hard bebop. traditional, Latin, African, Soul, Blues, Avant Garde, Free Jazz, Contemporary Classical, Minimalist...need I go on!!!! He left us much too early!
