Im a big fan of Joe both as leader as a sideman. All of the Blue Notes are great but my favorites would be:
- Inner Urge
- In n Out
on Milestone:
- Multiple
- Tetragon
- Power to the People
Later Joe:
- Mirror Mirror
- So Near So Far
- Double Rainbow
TIFF is having a Mikio Naruse retrospective. I've managed to book tickets for 4 of the films and am trying to see 3 more (which are currently sold out, but tickets generally are released a few days ahead of each screening).
So far I saw When a Woman Ascends the Stairs and then today, Floating Clouds, which was far too melodramatic for my taste.
