Alphabetic Jazz

Stole this idea from William the Bloody's still warm corpse after hitting him over the head with a hammer.

So basically we just go from A-Z posting jazz (or blues) songs that start with the appropriate letter. So I post Charles Mingus's "Anus Licking Good" then the next person posts Ella Fitzgerald's "Bitches Ain't Shit" and so on. The only restriction is no double posting unless the thread dies and it's up to one of us to revive it. Posting your thoughts on the previous track is highly encouraged, but not required.

So to kick things off, one of my favourite jazz (and overall) tracks for A.

John Coltrane - Ascension

I'd play but the hit on the head has caused amnesia, I should drag out my jazz collection from the mp3 cellar one day though.

Ronald Shannon Jackson - Gossip (Barbecue Dog, 1983)

This should totally be a game in plug by the way. Songs in alphabetical order.

Nice way to have a random trawl through the archives of jazz! If we´re up to "H", it´s time for some Hard Times from David Fathead Newman:-

I can't participate cuz I'm a failure, but I'll be keeping an eye on this bad boy. Thanks for being a thief.
