I'd be interested to know what you consider to be the most impressive (or maybe just historic) examples of jazz musicians playing as lead on records of classical music repertoire in a classical setting (i.e. not the AEC throwing in a Monteverdi piece or Ornette Coleman quoting Stravinsky; and not Jacques Loussier type classical jazzed up). Some obvious examples would be: Keith Jarrett on ECM (various examples here); and Wynton Marsalis' Haydn, Hummel, L. Mozart: Trumpet Concertos from 1983.

💗 👍

We had a little rain last night, but not stormy weather–Tobi slept well. One other great thing about pulling boxes from the storage unit is finding these discs again–an excellent box set that I have missed for a decade. “The Ella Fitzgerald And Duke Ellington Côte D’Azur Concerts On Verve” 8 cd set, disc 1

Tnanks for your comments. Have another one on Savoy "Bird At The Roost" Savoy SJL 1108 with these tracks: Muse MR 5080 - Buster Williams "Pinnacle" - rec. 1975 Engineer: Eddie Korvin

Wow! Interesting set.

I saw Peter Bernstein at Ronnie's last night, in a quartet that included Sullivan Fortner and Doug Weds. Really a great gig. Nice to see jazz played so well, and with such purpose and rhythm.

Nice!

So sorry for the long outage. I've been working with the server company to get everything back and running smoothly since 6pm today (currently almost midnight). I think we can all agree that site is snappier than it's been in years. Keeping the bots away should help a lot.

I might buy some.

👍- on my shelf ...

Same here.

Recent interview:

I have zero problems with ads here Jim. Anything to alleviate the financial burden is fine with me. I visit many websites that bombard me with ads and I've developed the ability to mostly ignore them by now. The one website I would avoid duplicating is George Takei's percolately.com, which loads so many ads when you visit the site that it often locks up Firefox.

Yeah!

Hi friends, I have signed up for Cloudflare and changed the nameservers, which will take up to 24 hours to fully propagate. During this time some problems may arise. Just let me know and I'll try to fix them. The added cost is another $28 per month. I have been paying for this forum out of pocket for quite some time and it's now up to almost $200 per month. I think the best solution to this problem is to start allowing ads on the site. We have 20,000 unique visitors every month. I'm missing out on thousands of dollars of income per month. I will keep the ads to a minimum but I think that's the best way forward at this point because I simply cannot afford to keep this thing going otherwise. Thanks for your understanding.

I like this set - tho I don't have this on LP. I played a track from it three weeks ago on my show. https://i.postimg.cc/tCjyV1Vx/IMG-6129.jpg
