Howard McGhee: Volume 2 / Tal Farlow Quartet - Blue Note: 6941335 -  download | Presto Music

The Farlow bit. It was also his debut, Tal Farlow Quartet. In this release the McGhee and the Farlow sessions are tied in.

Yes, I think there was two Howard McGhee albums, where one of the sidemen was featured with his extra group. One was a classic vintage bop session with some top bop musicians like J.J. Johnson and Max Roach I think, and some Kenny Drew trio at the end.

the vol. 2 is a bit strange. It sounds different, much more melancolic, maybe if I remember right, the first tune was some stuff in C minor, right ? It´s not as intense as his group on Vol. 1. but very fine music. The tracks without Maggie with two guitars, bass and drums are a bit strange and unusual for me. It´s more focused on guitar virtuosity I think.....

The Jef Gilson Nonet feat. Jean Louis Chautemps – New Call From France (SABA, 1966)

R-822468-1317173069.jpg

First listen to this, which was referenced in the recent MPS / SABA thread. 

The musicians in the nonet are:

Bass – Gilbert Rovère

Bass Clarinet – Claude Lenissois

Drums – Gaëtan Dupenher

Piano – Jef Gilson

Tenor Saxophone – Pierre Caron

Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone – Jean Louis Chautemps

Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone – François Jeanneau

Trumpet – Jean Baptiste Mira

Vibraphone, Percussion – Bernard Lubat

I'm surprised not to know any of the players on the record other than Gilson.

This is nice and good and all that, but I'm in the middle of deep-ish dive into later Carla Bley (specifically the Big Band, the Lost Chords, and the trio with Swallow/Shepherd), and it's pretty funny to hear this tribute to her earlier compositions played  in a style that would have been totally appropriate in, say, 1965, maybe even 1975. In the meantime, Carla Bley herself has been through a lot of evolutions and has created a whole other set of compositions that have a distinctly different "vibe" than this. There's a whole other set of "tributes" to be made using her later work, and it probably won't be played like this.

Still, this is a good record, and Barry Altschul is always a treat.

I only discovered this recently when it was mentioned somewhere here on the death of Jean Louis Chautemps

I know Jeanneau a fair bit and have come across Caron a couple of times but that's all for me.

I enjoy the album
