I started to listen to Frank Kimbrough's Lonely Woman and realized that I didn't have the heart to listen to it it tonight.  I went with Berkman instead.  He flies under the radar, I think, but he is a fine pianist.  Besides bringing in Tom Harrell on an increasingly rare sideman appearance (Harrell is also on Berkman's Handmade), you can't go wrong with Johnathan Blake and Ed Howard.

Can't get enough of Mr. Five By Five. This one has a version of "Tricks Ain't Walkin' No More," one of the odder pieces in Rushing's oeuvre!!

Decisions, decisions ... had never seen this but a visit to discogs told me its an MJR LP originally and a stroll to the stacks showed me I do own it (thank god for their red/black spines and the fact that I was buying a lot of those so I put them on the shelf together). But now I see three unissued tracks.  I should probably spring for this, just wish it were free shipping on Amazon.

ErstLive 005 by Keith Rowe/Sachiko M/Toshimaru Nakamura/Otomo Yoshihide (ErstWhile, 2005).

I loved this one when it came out, but I guess that nothing ages worse than yesterday's electronic improvisation. I can't see what I liked about it now.

Now on to Ethan Iverson's Costumes Are Mandatory (HighNote, 2013).

Lee Konitz' chemistry with Larry Grenadier is the main appeal of this one for me.  I pulled it out mainly because the day it was released, I was in sunny Avignon at the theatre festival, and that's an appealing place to be, right now, from the point of view of icy 31 December 2020 London.

Not much for Copland in general, but these are two nice pieces, especially Variations. Good, stout music,

Beside jazz I like Coplands works. Its the other sound of America for me beside jazz.
