NYC’s Cafe Bohemia re-opens?!


Recommended Posts

What an amazing lineup listed in that sign. (Same as on the record.) If only we could have dropped in there! And an avatar shows a Tommy Flanagan Trio. Mmmm, that would have been tasty. Tommy was subtle. His entry, after the fireworks in Kenny Dorham's "Trompeta Toccata", is wonderful. Check out his chords at the start of Kenny Burrell's "Moten Swing".

The Savoy recording of that Bohemia lineup is very satisfying. Cannonball steals the show. I noticed that Oscar Pettiford is not on that session. I have three takes of one selection. They are all fine, but it's amusing to hear the fours. No-one organized the solo order, and the guys trip over each other; you would think that that would have been straightened out after the first take, but the second and third takes are still indecisive.
