Archives, Episode 94, Real Book Obscurities Part 4

For this episode one of the highlights is a John Coltrane tune that has been described as a sort of ‘training wheels’ for Giant Steps.

I also play recordings by Freddie Hubbard, Ornette Coleman, a Wes Montgomery tune by Christian McBride’s Big Band, and a J.J. Johnson tune recorded by Miles Davis.

I play two Canadian tracks: a version of Chick Corea’s Crystal Silence by Teresa Doyle and Doug Riley, and Hilario Duran and friends with Billy Strayhorn’s UMMG.

And perhaps my favourite of all….a haunting tune from the film The Yearling with a version by George Cables and a vocal version by Lana Cantrell.
