Senensky's minimally mentioned here and there on this board, but there's no particular discussion of this Canadian pianist. I was totally unfamiliar with Senensky until, for $7, I recently picked up New Life on CD from Dusty Groove. A Japanese import through the Muzak label, this one comes in the mini-LP format, and is a SHM-CD. Anyone else here happen to pick this one up? Produced by Gene Perla, it has Senensky on piano, Michel Donato on bass, and Marty Morrell on drums. Recorded in 1975. It's really well-recorded. Only the last track shows its age (electric piano; the rest is acoustic). For those that compare Morrell to other Bill Evans drummers—to my ears, Morrell is less restrained on this record than on some Evans records. It's given me a new perspective on his brushwork in particular. Senensky is not an Evans clone. Check the album out --> I'm guessing Canadians on this board are more familiar with Senensky. I dig his playing on this record! Thoughts, recommendations?

Correct.

By the late 60's, Hentoff's liners were quite Byzantine. Not as LSD saturated as Ralph J. Gleason's.

My gut reaction is that those began to occur more frequently in the late 1960s and beyond?

Fantastic record.

Love that strip!

Most contemporary releases are CDs or downloads, which by the nature of the packaging means you are unable to read the liner notes until you purchase the item (and in the case of downloads there are typically no liner notes). If their purpose is to sell albums I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. Oops, I guess by contemporary you meant liner notes on the original older albums. Even then I find it hard to agree. Liner notes are often interesting, imo.

Excellent music and playing, and (as always) excellent liner essay by Reinhard Goebel.

Yeah, I don't read liner notes that were written for initial contemporary releases, as they by definition lack any critical perspective (they're meant to sell albums). I do read liner notes of historical reissues sometimes.
