Misterioso

Lee Konitz - Subconscious-Lee (UCCO-5538) Never noticed before that there are two versions of this album with different track orders. This one follows the original 1955 Prestige release (+ one bonus track) while some OJC versions list the tracks in the chronological order of the four recording dates. I actually think the latter is more appealing.

Interesting, by coincidence I am also listening to a CD set released by "Phono Records": Never heard of this label before, probably one of these dubious labels. However, this set is great and the sound quality very nice.

He would have turned 100 tomorrow.

Great albums! I must confess that I am a bit of a John Carter addict. Took me a while to collect his albums but I am getting there...

It's a long shot ... but please contact me by PM if you are interested in two (heavily discounted) tickets for Christian McBride's New Jawn (with trumpeter Josh Evans, saxophonist Marcus Strickland and drummer Nasheet Waits) on Saturday, 9 June 2018, at 7pm in Melbourne, AU. I have the tickets but can't make it :-( Was very much looking forward to see Nasheet Waits, in particular.

It's Anthony Ortega's 90th birthday today! May he play many more shows in good health at Mr Peapody's.

"Chet is Back" in the car. Chet Baker left us 30 years ago today.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Just curious, why do you still listen to this one instead of "Live at the Half Note" (assuming you have the latter in your collection as well)? Is there anything this release does better than "Live at the Half Note"? Sensational music, of course.

Thanks for this, at least some relief.

Bloody CD-Rs. No liner notes included 😠 I hate to pay full price for such an inferior product. Shame on you, Jazz Records (the label)!

Another one by Peter Brotzmann and Joe McPhee
