Yeah, I have that Jackie. Cool artwork indeed.

Josh Lawrence: Still We Dream

Coming from a pianist like yourself, I take that as high praise! 😊

👍

The Vanier Cup game is currently on YouTube. The second half is just beginning, with Montreal leading 15-11.

Finally picked up a copy yesterday and listening now.

The Blue Potato And Other Outrages I wonder why this album never saw a digital release. And yet...it's on YouTube in what appears to not be a vinyl rip. Check out "Garvey's Ghost" from this album. 👌

Mine too! It kinda goes with this one:

👍 - as Verve Records / Polydor K.K. UMV 2617 [Japan 1982] on my shelf

I saw him once in Austin in the early 1980s; powerful tenor sax from a man on crutches.

Oh thank you ! I really like it ! Your touch reminds me a bit of Wynton Kelly . Really nice ! And I´m glad there is someone posting music here. It´s a drag that there didn´t happen anything in the last years.

Me too, in 1982 ! Until then, the only book about Miles that I knew was Bill Cole´s book from the first half of the 70´s. I liked Ian Carr´s book much more ! Bill Cole just wrote off what Miles did after 1970, all that same shit the ignorants where throwing on Miles. To say, that "On the Corner" is an insult on the intellect of the people is just low shit.

I'm liking this instrumental album. It's a grower.

Not bad. I saw him live one time with Jimmy Ford on alto sax

Going further with Bill Evans, always a nice calming thing. This compilation has always impressed me. Bill Evans “Piano Player” Sony Blu-Spec CD2

Thats a great record indeed. It's been a while since I spun it though.

https://mulatuastatke.bandcamp.com/album/tension This is another good one that is recent.

some excellent bass playing by Mark Levinson here.
