❤️ ... and have it ❤️ 👍 ---> on my wantlist!!

It will!

This would be a hassle of a drive for me, over 2 hours each way, but I might have to do it. https://www.facebook.com/events/1731558840826798/

I feel your pain Blue Jays.

Original.

I enjoy #6 and it's interesting because it reminds me of some people who aren't involved. Dig the saxist who goes the "Texas Tenor" route in many passages, someone I ought to be able to ID but can't right now. Piano comp is sort of in Jaki's style, not so much the solos, can't be Jaki but ditto on the ID. Guitarist does some single-line things similar to GG but it's definitely not him. I'm not that big a guitar listener so won't attempt ID, though I suspect the reveal will cause a forehead slap.

Better than 1991.

And now back to more extra inning WS action!

Played with George Russell? Not 100% sure, but I think not! I stand corrected. Yes!

Sad news. He brought such great knowledge to the board, often from an eyewitness perspecitive. RIP.

I loved #3, too. The saxophonist sounded familiar in more of a Lennart Aberg way rather than a Jan Garbarek way and I didn't even notice the bass at first. My initial thought was Europeans, JAPO not ECM, and a whole "we once played with George Russell" vibe. JSngry's hint tells me I got the Russell connection right, but, if this is what I think it is, the more well-known pianist and bassist were a surprise to me.

Not Peacock, very very interesting comments about the pianist. Thanks!

My computer sound is so bad that I thought it was a duet until the third listen 🤪...I was really taken by the piano, which vaguely reminds me of quasi-minimalist "classical" composers such as Howard Skempton (some of whose work I greatly enjoy, though I find him uneven). The saxist is pretty much in the ECM/"moody" bag, which generally doesn't engage me deeply, but this tune works well. I hesitate to comment on the bassist because I initially couldn't perceive him, but the knee-jerk guess is Gary Peacock, of whom I'm a fan.

You will definitely know two of the three players, possibly all three. What is it about it that you like about it! Just curious.

I loved #3. From the preceding discussion I can't imagine I own it, but I intend to research it out of curiosity.

I love that recording, as well as all other Hausmusik CDs.

I got to hear Ray Drummond in piano duos twice, with Billy Mays in 1990 in New Orleans and with Kenny Barron at Zinno in 1997. He was also a part of the jam sessions during the IAJE 2004 with James Williams and Ben Riley, I heard them backing Francesco Cafiso. He was also a delightful interview. RIP, Ray.

Was blessed to him in Philadelphia maybe in 1998 or so with our friend Gordon B from the old Jazz Corner/Jazz Central Station in a quartet led by David Murray with the late John Hicks & Andrew Cyrille. RIP, sir
