Thought it would be interesting to share favourite play lists.

I don't know if this thread is going to fly, because it does require a certain time to write-up, and/or editing prior to posting, but I think that if people participate, this could become a cool thread.


Rules:

  • No links to online music streaming sites.
  • No links to Youtube/Vimeo play lists, either. They are also plagued by international licensing issues and censorship.
  • Give us a short description of it's content and what inspired it.

As audio enthusiasts, specially amongst the older crowd, owning programmable multi-CD changers is common. I implore these users to also take the time to build a text list of their favourites programmes here, even if it's a more arduous process than copying and modifying a PC/streaming device's play lists.

To get the ball rolling, here's my first post for this thread:


Misc Jazz Tracks

000 - Dave Brubeck quartet - Kathy's Waltz
001 - The Ray Brown Trio - Cry Me A River
002 - Henry Mancini - The Pink Panther Theme
003 - Dave Brubeck - Take five(in a quartet - Live 2004)
004 - John Coltrane - Blue Train
005 - Miles Davis - So What
006 - Miles Davis - Freddie Freeloader
007 - Charles Mingus - Boogie stop shuffle
008 - Charles Mingus - Jelly Roll
008 - Miles Davis - Blues by five
009 - John Coltrane - Lazy Bird
010 - Thelonious Monk Quartet - Misterioso
011 - Dave Watts - Rooster
012 - John Coltrane - Wheelin'
013 - The Ray Brown Trio - Mistreated But Undefeated Blues
014 - The Bass face swing trio - I Got rhythm
015 - John Coltrane - Solacium
016 - The Bass face swing trio - Oh,Lady Be Good

This is one of my favourites. It is definitely a living-room play list. Charles Mingus' "Boogie stop shuffle" is a dangerous track to play while driving (For me, at least)... Somehow the car just keeps going faster and faster without any hint of it. At one point you realize everyone else seems like they're just "parked" out there...

The third track is from the DVD concert, from which I extracted the the stereo track of "Take Five" with Randy Jones, Michael Moore and Bobby Militello. A rendition which I personally prefer to the original 1959 recording of the original quartet.

This is an oldies play list. I like to think of it as a bit of a soundtrack, (not chronologically correct, though) of the baby boom's rise from rebelling student to being the very establishment they use to denounce.
