Mozart - Piano Concerto No.9 and No.11 - Rudolph Serkin

Brew Moore – Brew Moore This is the only Brew Moore record I have heard that really explains the cult status of Brew Moore to me. C'est un corkeur. Encore un corkeur. I bought a copy of Jazz Goes College in Eastbourne a year or so ago and my wife was giggling all the way home that I had bought a Brubeck record. I get my own back every time I put it on and she invariably says how much she loves it and asks me what it is.

It does have a high hit rate. I know there are lots of fans on this forum. The ones that I have enjoyed most have been: Bobby Watson, Vincent Herring and Gary Bartz - Bird at 100 Buster Williams - Unalome Joe Farnsworth - Time To Swing Joe Farnsworth - In What Direction Are You Headed? Orrin Evans - The Magic of Now Something Else! Featuring Vincent Herring - Soul Jazz Vincent Herring - Preaching to the Choir This shallow, but I also really like the high gloss photographs on the covers.

Karl Berger is one of the finest of vibists. Wish list hinges on whether anything else ever gets released on CD. NP Wife is loving it!

If this is a topic that has already been covered here on the forum, please inform me and I will delete. Presently I'm listening to the Joe Farnsworth album City of Sounds, which features Kenny Barron and Peter Washington. I was kind of curious as to what are some of your favorite releases from the label? I definitely would like to do a deeper dive. Thank you!

Dexter Gordon “The Monmartre Collection” Black Lion/Muzak Japan 2 cd set, disc 2 I’ve bought this material several times over the decades but it sounds its best in this set.

Kris Davis Quartet: Bagatelles CD (Zorn)

Coleman Hawkins in Europe (Timeless)

Sir Douglas Quintet “The Tracker” Edsel cd This cd compiles two LPs, “The Tracker” and “Don Goldie with the Sir Douglas Quintet” . . . I was most interested to hear the latter, and it’s quite interesting! I love Don Goldie’s playing. IMG500×500 50.2 KB

Little Walter - Hate To See You Go

Have really been enjoying ZOOT SIMS IN PARIS, from both 1956 and 1961. Both albums contain especially inspired soloing from Mr. Sims.

The first Carter disc I owned was this one: Lots of listening pleasure in this one. It was much later when I heard Carter's work from the 30's. I think I like him as an arranger just as much as a player, maybe even more so. His writing for a saxophone section in particular is deceptively simple. While I've never studied the intricacies of his voicings, it sometimes makes me think of Red Garland block chords. The movement of each line feels organic, like there's no other choice but the one Carter made.

And they would not have been all that old, around 60 (Henderson born in 1937, Hutch in 1941).

👍

Thank you Felser!

yep. and I agree with all that Karl has to say. It's not revelatory music but it is very good.

Reports about B.B. King suggest that he should have stopped before he did. But when you spend so many days on the road your whole adult life I am sure it is hard, not even mentioning the $$$.
