    No too shabby either :D ....

    Yes, fine renditions of Vienna and In the Pines. The latter is renamed here Sandra,  I wonder if it's a dedication to Clifford's wife Sandy or to the singer on the Leadbelly album Sandra Douglass ( who only appears on this record).

    Fine selection!

     

    Track 3: without the applause, it almost sound as an overdubbing à la Reflections. Great rendition of Naima. It is a favorite of d'Andrea but I did not know about this duet with Bollani.

    Track 4: Someone to watch over me where the pianist  sounds very familiar. Could be one those Venus piano trios.

    Track 8: Sleepin' Bee! I know very little of Bertha Hope, I will have to check it out.

    Track 9: Nice and already Ided!

    Track 11: The classic bull-march or something of the kind. I had no clue Moussogsky was jazzified, no less by Bud Shank and Bill Perkins! I assume is it Paul Horn on alto. Very pleasant.

    Track 12: Such a beautiful tone from Art and already IDed.

    Track 13: Great sound from Svend Asmussen. Another Fabrik concert, I only know the EKAYA boot from 1981 in Hamburg. I listen to very very little Benny Goodman,  but would like to hear your take of the concert during the Reveal thread.

    Track 14: Fine trio format. It sounds like You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To but I confuse so many standards. Gibbs or Tjader?

    Laurent De Wilde - Over The Clouds

    Lovely record. A quite shorter version from the original CD and it is really unfortunate that the record does not include a DL with all the tracks. Records from the CD era, usually 1 hour-ish, seem quite dificult to be reissued on LP (1 LP with less tracks [bit unsatisfying but I'm OK with it with a DL], 3 Sides , 2LP  (I do not like those short sides), 2 LP with one Bonus Side  [The best by far when possible but rare too]).

    NP: The Brew Moore Quartet and Quintet (Fantasy)
