jazzbo Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Kurt Elling "The Messenger" Blue Note cd My friend Dave Laczko says this is his favorite Ellington release. I can see why he digs it so much, it's a great one. It's Elling's second studio album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Any idea where in NY or Philadelpia (Sid Simmons of Visitors fame!) this picture was taken? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Y'know another advantage of CDs over digital files? While listening to this disc, I opened up the liner notes booklet only to find the ticket stub from the first time I saw the Gene Harris Quartet -- Feb. 17, 1996 at Ohlone College. So in addition to enjoying the fun music on this CD, I also got to re-enjoy a few memories of that concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd and at times shifting time signatures. Solo-wise nothing overtly fiery (aside from his solo on Kalispel Bay!) from Jason but very deliberate as expected. Mark follows Jason's lead, their interplay is exceptional, and when he solos its much in the same vein as Jason, nothing searing, very contemplative and with Mark's unmistakeable tone. Matt and Kendrick are their typical selves. I honestly think that either could fit into any ensemble. It's a 2 CD set and as you move to the second disc things tend to liven up more and the band feels like it is settling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a regular presence in the English Summer - hopefully back doing his stuff next year. Edited August 13, 2020 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
