Gheorghe Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Bird´s last album from 1954. The "I love Paris" from december 1954 has a moving quality. As on Bud Powell´s last album. The "Round Midnight" from 1965 also has a moving quality, and there is a rare version of Coltrane´s "Moment´s Notice" on it. As much as I know the only time Bud recorded a Coltrane composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I'm not sure whether this was Waldron's final recording, but it was made in the year that he died. And without a doubt there is a valedictory aspect to the music, right down to the title. INCREDIBLE performances.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Wallace Roney- Blue Dawn-Blue Nights was released in August of 2019, and he passed on just a few days ago. Its a very strong, adventurous post-bop album, and I enjoy it a lot. Roney’s last young band is a welcome collective, with potential to be very strong on a national scene. I hope they carry on as a group, perhaps with another older authority in  American jazz who’d continue into Mr.Roney’s position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Listening now to Harry "Sweets" Edison's last recording: Interesting band: Buster Cooper, Curtis Peagler, Art Hillery, Andy Simpkins and Tootie Heath. Â Song selections are standards in the Pablo mode (Sophisticated Lady, Just Friends, etc.), but the band is bringing it - they're not just going through the motions.

I will have to pull this one out soon. I recall my reaction as in line with Yanow's - that the band was good but Sweets a bit of a weak link. I always enjoy Peagler though. Anyway not his last. There was Swing Summit on Candid and Live at the Iridium after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I remember Harry Sweets Edison quite well. He usually performed together with Eddie Lockjaw Davis, that´s the Team I saw live on some occasions, really fine ! Though this was in a period when I listened more to more modern , free or modal stuff, it was really nice to spend an evening to here such a good Mainstream jazz, not to figure things out, just to relax and swing.....

John L Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I believe that we discussed this one a while back, a beautiful swan song. I saw Edwards live around this time and it was really incredible.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Man, for the longest time I thought the Inner City LPs duplicated what was on the Celebrity/Beacon albums (which I have). OOPS! Need to grab these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Al Grey / Jimmy Forrest - O.D. (out 'dere) just playing this one and realized it fit the bill, recorded in July 1980, 8 weeks before Forrest's death... and it's a nice enough organ record... also apparently the last Don Patterson recording to appear during Patterson's lifetime (the John Simon album is from 1986 but apparently only released a decade later) and - if I can trust discogs - the last recorded appearance of drummer Charlie Rice who died in 2018 at the age of 98) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to dig it out ! i think the LP was purchased and signed at one of their UK gigs so it must have been literally off the press. I would guess that they were appearing at Nice and made a detour. Or maybe it was signed at the Nice Festival. Updated - Maybe I got it wrong and it is just signed by Al. The more likely scenario. Edited July 15, 2020 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 just had another look at my copy which is dedicated to Jimmy's memory - so I think "only Al" really is the more likely scenario... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
