This is the kind of music I've been looking for the past few days. It has that growl and swing that I think should work out just right. Anyone know anymore guys like this? King Curtis maybe?
Damn, I was going to say King Curtis.
Boots Randolph?
If you go on Pandora, start a King Curtis thread, the program will find soundalikes for you.
It's free.
Hey, McTag, that is a great idea. I know that because that is exactly what I did. Great minds do think alike, eh?
Amigo, thanks for that smooth hipster jam. Cool. I dig the drummer's shades.
I love Brubeck!
And Stan Getz...
Calamity, great minds DO think alike!
Don't they, Bella
There is a great CD out with Astrud Gilberto and Sten Getz - you'd
enjoy that very much.
i know what you're looking for kick.
I played in a band with a sax player once and this tune was one of the show stoppers
The Viscounts - Harlem Nocturne

Yes! Panzade, have I told you how great it is to have you as my own personal musicology professor here on A2K!? I love it.
The reason I was looking for these kinds of songs was to find something to give my dad for Christmas. I ended up getting him a King Curtis greatest hits CD and the Greatest Hits of Al Hirt. By the way, have you heard Al Hirt's version of Fly Me To the Moon? It is pure musical nirvana.
While my parents and I were listening to the King Curtis CD he was trying to think of other old songs from that time that he loved and he kept trying to describe this song that he couldn't remember the name of. It just so happens that it was Harlem Nocturne! So you were dead on with that one. And it just happened to be on the King Curtis CD I got him, so it worked out perfectly, even though I didn't even know that song when I bought the CD.
Thanks!
Getz and Gilberto, sure, and I think I still have the album, however worn, but need to look back on thread, I'm not all tethered to one musical place. Don't say that re you folks, but thinking re me.

I love the synchronicity...I love helping you relate to your parents music....and since a new year approaches, I love waxing nostalgic about the last 5 years in a2k....and having you as as a virtual buddy. Good times! as Slappy would say.
Duke Ellington had Paul Gonsalvas. Check out "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue", especially the live version at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival. Gonzalas was a stone cold alcoholic and drug addict but...

I'm checkin eoe...thanks for the tip
And thanks for the link to Louis Prima. He was such a wild cat but I never knew that much about him. Finally I looked him up. He was from New Orleans. That explained alot.

Gonzalas? That should read Gonsalvas.
I got a CD from Norah Jones for x-mas, and this song is just extra ordinary,
so 40s - sax, great voice, everything comes together
