Best track you heard all week

Last track on Other Violets

I believe that tenor playing at the end might be the last John Tchicai on record and it is stunning and almost otherworldly

It is preceded by a studied yet intense drum solo by Tim Daisy and the tune by Jeb Bishop is post bop swing and groove and it's finest

Synergy! I just ordered this today after it popped into my mind last night. $5.50.

damn, that's got to be the bargain of the day!

Not sure. I don't have the liner notes. It appears to be a contemporary song with music by Savall - so it might be Catalan. The rest of the set is trad. arr. from across the Med but this one seems to be a specifically written song.

Think it must be Catalan when I read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordi_Savall

Notice he has the same Christian name as a controversial jazz record entrepreneur from Barcelona. :w

From James Brown's "Soul Pride: The Instrumentals"--The King

Tighten Up (with an extended jazz trumpet

solo by Waymon Reed, which is exciting)

Waymon Reed had an interesting career, for a musician few people have heard of. Worked with Ira Sullivan, James Brown, Count Basie, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, All Star Trumpet Spectacular and Sarah Vaughan (to whom he was married), before dying of cancer.

Nice leader date on Artists House, IIRC

Handel "Eternal Source of Light Divine"

I believe this is something of a lollipop cropping up on Handel vocal discs, baroque trumpet records, general classical favourite records and in it's setting in a birthday Ode for Queen Anne.

I have it on a few discs but it stopped me in my tracks on this new one:

The way the trumpet (cornet? HIP thingy?) and voice interweave just makes the world stand still.
