The British Prog band Yes did a cover of "No Opportunity Necessary..."in their early days, and neither the OP of it nor any of the site's 200,000 members who listened to it had any idea it was originally written and recorded by Richie Havens. When I pointed it out and posted RH's version, only one friend of mine on the site posted that he thought they were equally good. The other posts were, "Golly, that was before Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman!" Richie Havens had a disco period, you call that "serious"?j That album by Jeremy and the Satyrs with that joke of a vocalist, was that laughfest serious, too?

Kenny Burrell for me too. Different album though:

Kenny Burrell “Midnight Blue” Blue Note Japan/Tower Records (exclusive) SHM-SACD

Great to hear. I can understand some of the bashing of the family releases for various reasons, but this one was a winner.

I was able to pick this up cheap based on your recommendation, and you're right, it's really interesting material, thanks for the tip!

Kid Rock definitely, but I'm not sure Billie Holiday would pass muster.

Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra - Music from the Danish Jungle (DaCapo DK, 1996)

I thought Jason had tendered his resignation on June 19 (appropriately enough). The Kennedy Center has become an absolute joke. Likely no NEA Jazz Masters this year either. EDIT: Close enough re the date of Moran's departure--June 19 was apparently his last performance before stepping down. Jason Moran leaves Kennedy Center

Caught Kenny Barron and his trio last night at the Regattabar in Cambridge, MA. It was excellent. His drummer, Savannah Harris, was very impressive. It was an excellent band. He mentioned a funny story about when he played there with Stan Getz when the place opened 30+ years ago. I've been going there for a long time, but not that long.

I'm sure Kid Rock Sings the Music of Billie Holiday will more than compensate.

I've never seen that cover before. Interesting. Another alternative: My "I ❤️ Jazz" series LP looks like this:

Anathema - A Natural Disaster

Mark Helias - Desert Blue (Enja, 1989)

Classic. I have the Japanese Odeon pressing with an alternate sleeve design. At one point I had the French Decca but it was a bit off condition-wise…
