Didn't know about this one, definitely would like to hear it, as well as a completed Concert in Japan by the New York Jazz Quartet.

Is this real? Are you actually on a jazz cruise? Which one and is it good?

Another question for the Latin fans on here: where else do you go to discuss this music? Reddit seems pretty rotten. Apologies to the admins for this, but I think it's fair to ask given that this isn't meant to be a Latin music forum. I have a burning desire for more recommendations in the beloved P-SMTiCoBBFtifNYoC genre.

I know its not exactly close to what others are going thru but here in Plant City, a 24-hour temperature drop of 36 degrees. There's also persistent indications of a legit possibility of actual snow in this latitude this weekend, and it will be even colder for sure. What is certain is that as we come up on the end of our 10th year in central Florida, we have never had to put blankets on the horses so many times. My wife's rule is <40, all six get them and we are doing that TFN.

Jed Levy Quintet - Mood Ellington (Steeplechase)

👍

January 27 Henri Texier - 1945

Well, "pre-salsa musica tropicale in conjunto or big band format that isn't from New York or Cuba" it is, then I guess. If anyone has some great recommendations within that snappily titled non-genre, please flag them here too.

A workaround? Had not thought of that.

Sure. Send me a PM.

this reminded yo pull and play this -

RIP!

The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records - volume one. Pulled this puppy off the shelf for re-exploring tomorrow.

No, afraid not. The set is 8 discs long — and comes in 2 four-disc ‘fat-boy’ jewel box cases — along with a tall booklet that has all the notes.

His son Kyle is a jazz bassist iirc.

I like this set a lot. But for many of the works included it's the only recording I've heard, so I can't pretend to rank it vs. alternatives.

Yeah!

And now the severe cold. I teach at a community college, and Tuesday will the be second day of cancelled classes.

Symphony No. 5

Original LP

absolutely; too bad they eventually had a falling out. Ward's playing with Karl Berger, Don Cherry, Rashied Ali, Cecil, and Paul Motian is also worth hearing. He did a record with Woody Shaw for Leo Records that's pretty strong.

Excellent

I only know him from Abdullah Ibrahim albums, and found him great in that context. R.I.P.
