Mi Cumbia

John Coltrane "The 1961 Helsinki Concert" Gambit cd Decent sound. Great performances.

Last Thursday night, Mike LeDonne Trio at Blues Alley. Friday night: First, Henry Threadgill, Vijay Iyer and Dafnis Prieto at 92ndNY. Second, Artemis at Birdland. Saturday night: Dave Holland/Chris Potter/Brian Blade at Dizzy's (Last minute substitutions for Azar Lawrence, who cancelled due to illness). Second, Tyshawn Sorey Trio (Aaron Diehl and Harish Raghovan) at the Village Vanguard. The indisputable best of this series of concerts were the Henry Threadgill concert and Tyshawn Sorey at the VV. Both were fantastic.

I’m starting my listening with “Roxy Coss”–her self-titled self-released frist cd. Bass – Kellen Harrison Composed By – Roxy Coss Design – Mary Coss Drums, Percussion – Shawn Baltazor Guitar – Ryan Brennan Piano, Electric Piano – Justin Kauflin Producer – Roxy Coss Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute – Roxy Coss Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Kate Miller

I've been revisiting Alvin Fielder's A Measure of Vision (Dennis González, Chris Parker, Aaron González, Stefan González) recently and think it's one of the label's finest.

Great sleeve art...wait I get the "8"; four seasons + concertos. 4 +4=8 🤯

My wife bought seats for the season at Severance Hall, this dude blew us away back in October: Piano: Daniil Trifonov. Program: Brahms, Franz Welser-Möst, conductor. We still talk about it today. Can't wait, next is Mozart's Jupiter Symphony in January, same conductor.

https://www.discogs.com/label/95676-Astrée-Auvidis https://www.discogs.com/label/199787-Astrée?redirected=true Yes, but the label is no longer active. Jordi Savall reissued his recirdings on his own label Alia Vox.

One of the best guitarists ever Like Randy Rhodes/Jimmy Paige/Tony Iommi good, that good. And in Jazz.... Like this dude Tony Iommi good: He even cites all the Pacific Jazz records he listened to including Jim Hall and Joe Pass.

Eddie Gladden alone is worth the price of admission.

Love the sleeve, makes me want to find a warm blanket and grab a mug of coco. Love these photos with Howard McGhee: Anyway:

Saw The Usual Suspects in the theatre. I was planning on seeing something from the European Union Film Fest, but decided to catch Bob Le Flambeur instead (as they were on the same day).

Agreed. I thought this was really interesting. I listened once through but will try to take more time on it.

Backwards again (and I created this system? Wow. Fail).
