Now listening to:

As I check out what's on at Smalls every evening on YouTube, I'm very familiar with the work of Nicole Glover, one of the best young tenorists around. Her new album gives you some idea of what she can do.

I love it. And Benny Green, yeah !  

Hank is so fantastic , I love to hear his solos, each aspect of it, and the nice quotes from other songs. Never heard a better version of "Lullaby at Birdland" than this one.

And Benny Green, really nice to hear, as Dex said once: The very very.......slippery ......trombonist ..... Benny Green !

The only downer for me is the Gene Krupa like drumming of Charles Persip. Well, he was a big band drummer, but hear it is uncomfortable to hear that old fashioned use of the bass drum so you almost can´t hear the bassist. So, while Hank is so hip, that rhythm section with a Gene Krupa like drumming really sounds stiff and does not support the soloists, but forces them to keep in a certain direction. 

In my case, I try to avoid to listen to this drum style, but its hard for me since a band is as good as the drummer is.......
