Ah. Okay thanks. I actually know that one. A good'un.

Schlippenbach Quartett – Das Hohe Lied

This video was posted here. It taught me how great an organist Scott was, and how much drive she had. https://youtu.be/88UI6EcBWPY?si=DRoW19HKgBWpdJNt

This is one of my favorite KB records.

Definitely. Will it bring back Mr. Nessa to Big Ears?

Hania Rani, Ghosts

Maybe so. If that's the case, it's ironic because Love, Love strikes me as a sort of precursor to 21st century music that blends jazz with electronic textures & ambient sounds.

Melissa Aldana - Filin Out today, Aldana plays Cuban ballads from the 40s to 60s... On my fourth spin, quite happy with this

Jerry Bergonzi – Tenor Of The Times It feels like this one is dropping out of recognition a little these days. It used to be one of the more well recognised records of its era.

Martyr is excellent IMHO.

👍

Kathleen Edwards tomorrow.

“Duke Ellington on Mercer–Great Tunes” This is a fascinating disc. It compiles all the masters of the material Duke participated in on his son Mercer’s record label, all issued under the names of Ellington sidemen, some of the “expensive gentlemen.” Sound is not great because the masters are gone and Jasmine is not the be all and end all of excellent remasterers, but the playing is excellent and there’s a different vibe to this material than on other labels imo.

Nino Rivera - Cuban Jam Session Vol. 3 Ruby Braff – I Hear Music Crazy what a good record this was, given that it comes from 2000.

thanks so much

Op.127 and Op.135
