Snuck this one in. . . probably will be the only one I get to listen to today now that my wife is up. I love the four in this series from Adventure Records–excellent pianists, exciting programs of material, great sound.

An LP I have rather stupidly overlooked for far too long.

Kenny Burrell - All Night Long (Prestige, 1957)

Underrated as a great jazz flute record. Jerome Richardson really on top form in my opinion. 

Nice afternoon. Currently enjoying a beer, toasting the momentarily benevolent football gods and getting ready for Maria Schneider.

1977 live recording in Paris. Nice.

This Acrobat double CD has much better sound than the Fantasy CD reissues. I will ask them for their sources.

Mixed emotions about these for me (as with Grossman in general, not just these records, he was apparently a "complicated guy") 

My buddy Jim Spake took a lesson or two with Steve Grossman in the mid-seventies.   Mr. Grossman made my friend work a bit harder on friend's Coltrane transcription; Mr. Grossman apparently interrupted the lesson to yell to his mother asking after the whereabouts of a joint.

Have listened yesterday evening to "John Coltrane-Duke Ellington". 

Really nice after a day with lot working, just to relax.

John Coltrane is masterful, great as ever. But I think it was done mostly for commercial reasons. The best parts are those, where the piano lays off and Coltrane plays trio. 
Only on one track , where they use another drummer, I miss Elvin, since it´s only a very simple, basic oldtime styled drumming.
I´m more familiar with Duke´s tunes as playing repertory than his playing himself. I have Duke-Mingus-Roach, and now this one. He seems to have a very spare style, not like Basie or Dameron, but somehow to compare.....what someone called "arranger´s style". 
But on the last tune "The Feeling of Jazz" he really comps beautifully...

Roscoe Mitchell and the Note Factory - Song For My Sister (Pi, 2002)

First listen to this. So good. No idea why I waited until now.
