Joe Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Superb. IMO, Riley is one of the most interesting musicians working "in the tradition" right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balladeer Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Lizz Wright - Salt (Verve) Her voice is always a winner. But this debut remains IMO an early masterpiece - terrific! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Miles Davis "My Funny Valentine" Sony DSD remastered lp facsimile cd release. I've been listening to this album more than 45 years! I have a handful of editions but like this one, which I may have played more this century than others. I'm using this version as it's so familiar it will help to evaluate a new fuse I'm trying in my power regenerator. I love this music!

Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Pepper Adams & Barry Altschul - Be-Bop? (Musica). This is fairly hard-to-find yet relatively inexpensive LP from France. I'm listening to it via mp3 files created from a needle-drop CD-R that was made from an original LP. 3 steps from Kevin Bacon. Piano sounds very rinky-dink. Must be a French thing (That's a joke revolving around the piano sound on Hank Mobley's "The Flip"). I do wish this was more readily available as it's not a bad date. To answer the title's question - no - this is not Be-Bop. It's bop, certainly, but this is not going to warm the cockles of a be-bop fan's heart. No matter how hard the French tenor player (Jean-Pierre Debarbat) tries, he still comes off sounding like a poor man's Coltrane "sheets of sound" during most of his solos.

Riley has clearly listened to a lot of tenor players, and distilled much. But I do find his sound closer to Lucky Thompson's than about any other tenor I can think of.

jcam_44 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Â On disc one. Been a couple years since I pulled this out. Really shouldn't wait so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'm listening to Going Beyond by Ed Michaels, a local saxophonist. My collection is in such disarray that I can't find the disc to confirm the personnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Funny Valentine really impressed me, until then I only had the "Steamin" Album from 1956 and this more open stuff and the fast Version of "All Blues" really was something to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
