jazzbo Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 This is the most recent release, "Planetario da Gave" on Far Out Records 2 cd. Playing a Hermeto Pascoal album for the first time is a lot like Gump's box of chocolate. You really don't quite know specifically what to expect. From a February 1981 appearance by Pascoal with "O Grupo" . . . and an exciting listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Another classic that needs re-visiting. There was a time last decade when I played this every Sunday. Sounds really really good on this SACD, even though I might prefer the alternate mix that was released on a deluxe 2 cd edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) I first heard this album when first issued about 1959 or so. Didn't care for it then. But now many decades later I decided to give it a listen again. It began (for me) very dull and cold sounding, with no jazz feeling. Things improved after about ten minutes into the Concerto. Cannonball and Art Farmer's playing was warmer and their solos had a jazz sensibility. Brooks deserves credit for attempting something different from the usual jazz albums being produced. So on the whole a mixed bag. There was not enough music that appealed to me beyond a modest level. It is doubtful that this is an album I will choose to listen to again.

jazzbo Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Dexter Gordon "Live at Chateauvallon 1978" disc 2 Needed some Dexter in my day. Some pretty mellow playing here in this second set, and the sound is really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the live show listings for decades to see if Leitch would ever make his way through the Boston area. He never did (that I am aware of).

In this 2013 album he was able to hold his own at the age of 23 with the cream of the contemporary scene (his father is the label's owner), but googling him now produces a blank ever since. Perhaps he's one of those who preferred a career in law, say, to being a jazz musician. That seems to be the case. You know, as Phil Woods used to say, if you had to choose between becoming say, a lawyer or a brain surgeon, or becoming a jazz musician, best to choose law or medicine.
