Well that´s some of the hottest players around ! Wow!

This arrived in the mail today, and I like it a lot. No weak tracks. Good for relaxing before getting ready for bed.

Well, you're welcome to disagree, but I'm quite certain that I have seen the Coltrane recordings referred to as a "power trio."

April 28 Blossom Dearie - 1924 Ann-Margret - 1941 Willie Colon - 1950 Chuck Leavell - 1952 ***** April 29 Duke Ellington - 1899 Russ Morgan - 1904 Donald Mills (of The Mills Brothers) - 1915 Toots Thielemans - 1922 I remember that Dizzy Gillespie once said, "Toots Thielemans would be the greatest jazz musician in the world if he just threw away that harmonica." Danny Davis - 1925 Big Jay McNeely - 1925 Carl Gardner (The Coasters) - 1928 April Stevens - 1928 I learned to my surprise not long ago that she had a big hit on her own about 1952. Ray Baretto - 1929 Joe Porcaro - 1930 He might be on a Lalo Schifrin album of Ms. TTK's. Lonnie Donegan - 1931 Rod McKuen - 1933 Willie Nelson - 1933 Zubin Mehta - 1936 Klaus Voorman - 1938 (Manfred Mann Chapter Two!, Revolver album cover, post-Beatles Lennon and Harrison, Nilsson) George Adams - 1940 Duane Allen (Oak Ridge Boys) - 1943 Hugh Hopper - 1945 Tammi Terrell - 1945 Tommy James - 1947 That's quite a selection!

Bought a long time ago (I think in 2006, when it came out). I didn't think it was a bootleg as it was in proper paper packaging and I bought it from a regular CD shop. I think it's called so-called half official or gray market stuff. There are English liner notes and (presumably) Russian translations. It says 'Manufactured in EU / Under license from Universal Music Plc., Russia', so at least they had a contract in Russia, I guess. Musically, the atmosphere is a bit different as Leroy Vinegar plays bass instead of Smith's feet. I quite like it.

Power trio? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_trio

I have it somewhere. I'll try to find it.

I'm not a big fan of the power trio, so I imagine that I have heard fewer recordings of this format than many of you. That said, I've listened to CD 1 of this, and I think it is my favorite power trio recording ever.

Trellisa Tomlimason - Trippin' Over My Own Tongue

Remember blogs?

Completely agree with this. I've heard nearly all of these people in that festival lineup and have played about 80-85% of them on my show and, really, a good percentage of them do represent an ever-evolving artform that's known as "jazz" ... well, at least in the 21st Century.

I remember reviewing the album with Moraz and trashing it.

Pass.

Moraz had zero impact on the trajectory either way. The band was starting to run out of ideas by the early 1970s. Fair characterization. A huge contributor to their sound, which coupled w/Justin Hayward and John Lodge’s superior songwriting made the early MB albums worn so well. There are a few instrumentals by him on the early MB albums that are awesome.

I think I have all the stuff with Basie. It's the Young brothers band material I'm looking for.

The only CD issue on Discogs is from Russia. https://www.discogs.com/release/3955513-Jimmy-Smith-Bluesmith I'm going to guess it's not legit, but it says licensed from Universal to Lilith Ltd. There's one copy on discogs available, from Italy, but with shipping it goes for $44.

All that material is out there on cd, for example on Masters of Jazz Lester Young and Basie cds, but I don't know of ONE cd that would have it all.

LP only afaik. It was a Jerry Valburn label, very hit and run.
