JazzWax by Marc Myers
Earlier this week, I posted on Art Pepper's Gettin' Together, featuring the glorious piano of Wynton Kelly. For this week's Backgrounder, I figured I'd give you another round of Kelly by posting one of my favorites: Kelly at Midnite, recorded for Vee-Jay Records in 1960. We can thank producer Sid McCoy for mixing each member of the trio so they'd stand out as sonic equals. This lets you listen and focus on each individual player at any given moment thanks ...

Jazz Journalist / Historian Scott Yanow Reviews 'Better Than Picasso At Midnite' By Tony Adamo

Tony Adamo
Better Than Picasso At Midnite An inventive spoken word artist who also sings well, Tony Adamo loves jazz and always goes out of his way to champion the music in his lyrics. One can link him to Jack Kerouac and the hipsters of the 1950s, yet his approach is contemporary and usually utilizes a funky background. “Better Than Anything” was composed in 1963 with the music by David Wheat and lyrics by Bill Loughborough. Singer Irene Kral was the first ...

Steely Dan Sunday: "Midnite Cruiser" (1972)

Something Else!
Posted by S. Victor Aaron Aside from the pre-Can't Buy A Thrill promo single “Dallas," here's the only Steely Dan song drummer Jim Hodder sang lead on. It wasn't the first and only time he took the lead mic on a recording, though: his prior band Bead Game make one record a couple of years earlier and he was the primary vocalist on all the tracks. His middle pitched-nasally warble is a bit of a contrast to Donald Fagen's higher ...
