      So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

      By jazzbo · Posted

      Last week I was looking for my earlier cd version of this title and decided to order the newer release as I know it would sound better. It sounds really good, a great mastering job imo. Charles Rouse “Two is One” Strata East cd   IMG450×450 36.8 KB   I note that it’s “Charles” not “Charlie” Rouse. Rouse with two guitars, cello, bass, drums and percussion. . . I like it.

      What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

      What music did you buy today?

      I tend to agree, unfortunately. I added a few of these to my collection during recent months too and felt much like you did. Apparently contrary to how others on thos forum feel about these. (As shown in recent discussions here).  Somehow his JATP and Granz Jam Session presence does more for me.  But tastes differ and one man's meat, etc ... Congrats on your CC Benny Carter CD purchases. I bought two of these long, long ago to round off (more or less) my vinyls of his 30s and 40s recordings. Which I feel have a punch and edge that the backing groups of his later recordings somehow smother too often.

      I've been slowly buying Benny Carter volumes on Chronological Classics.  They tend to be kind of pricey, even used. Yesterday I came across an ebay seller who had the exact five disks in the series that I lack for sale at $10 each with combined shipping.  So about 11 bux a disk total and my collection of Benny Carter Chronologicals is complete.  So pretty pleased abut that and beginning a Benny Carter festival here this morning. I have a couple of euro-compilations with a dozen of Carter's later albums.  There are a couple of 50's albums - Cosmopolite and Benny Carter Plays Pretty - which do not seem make it onto the compilations and I guess I can see why: they are kind of sweet, almost easy listening stuff where Benny solos over strings, Oscar Peterson trio, etc.  Benny plays great as usual - such thick tone and supple phrasing - but it's all kind of tame stuff.
