James Williams - Magical Trio 2 (EmArcy, 1988)
with Ray Brown & Elvin Jones

 

James Williams was so great, and he died too early. 

I´ll never forget how impressed I was by his playing on the first Blakey LP I had "In This Korner". And then seeing him perform with Blakey with that band with Bobby Watson and Valery Ponomarev...

The last time I saw James Williams was when he played piano in a very strong Dizzy Gillespie Big Band organized for his 70th Birthday Tour in 1987.

Yes  this Art Blakey group was great. We had  a concert in our private Jazz Club (Koblenz, Germany) in 1979.

Mel Lewis & the Jazz Orchestra - Bob Brookmeyer: Composer, Arranger (Gryphon, 1980)
Featured soloists include Dick Oatts, Jim McNeely, Rich Perry, Brookmeyer, and Clark Terry

 

Man I wish Bob Brookmeyer hadn't been such a cantankerous jerk on the old Jazz Corner forums. Now, whenever I see one of his records, it's one of the first things I think of.
