Yes! He's always playing something interesting! Makes Sunday evening radio worth listening to! Thanks for starting this thread, GoM; hopefully, this show stays around for a long time! EDIT! Well, I thought it was on around here. I KNOW I've heard it, but none of my local stations is listed, so now I can't remember where!

Been spinning a lot of Jackie Mac lately, mostly the Blue Note stuff: Right Now, Let Freedom Ring, Jacknife; great stuff, all of it. Happy Birthday to a true jazz ARTIST!

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know the first thing about promoting a concert. Especially for an artist whose work I'm only familiar with through forums like these--seriously, I'm pretty sure I've never heard any of his work. I don't know..... if I thought I had that kind of energy.....

Happy Birthday!!!

Got this on right now......er, ah, skip it. Anyway, it just reinforces how much I dig this album! Can't get the title track outta my head, and that's GOOD!!!

Arrrrgh!!!! What does it take to get these class acts up to the DFW area??!?! Just may have to take a long weekend to see this one!

A very good friend of mine (who shall remain nameless but his handle rhymes with Him Har) sent me a videotape a few years back of Merv Griffin interviewing Jobim at his home in Rio. Jobim came across as very gracious, just as he does in his music. Terra Brasilis remains, for me, the pinnacle of Jobim's work, a sort of simultaneous looking back and looking ahead! The woodwinds and strings caress the heart, while the gentle rhythm carries me to worlds that I've only dreamed of. If I ever get stuck on that proverbial desert island, I sure hope I have my copy of TB with me. Thanks for bringing this thread back up again, Him.... I mean, Jim!

Because those guys could TEAR IT UP!! I always thought the Time died way before their er.... time.

Still not too big on the album as a whole, but some tracks stand out, like "A Million Days," which proves once again how underrated a GUITAR-GOD Prince is!

Don't know too much or have heard too much from him, but if his work on Benny Carter's Jazz Giant is any indication, he left behind an amazing treasure trove of fine music. RIP, thanks for the music, and God bless you, Barney Kessel.

Ehhhhhh, I must be gettin' old. I've listened to it a few times, and it hasn't stuck yet. But I wholeheartedly concur that the man is on top of his game. AGAIN!

Beautiful. And very respectful.

I used to think this as well, until one night I was listening to them thru the headphones and it felt like I was being transported to some kind of exotic otherworld. But that's really the only way I can listen to them; they're awfully easy to lose in a cluttered background!

FWIW, Jazzmatazz lists another release by The Great Jazz Trio in August, titled Someday My Prince Will Come, with the same lineup as that on Autumn Leaves.

What's on the menu for Thursday May 6? Eagerly awaiting!!!

What's stopping you?? I dunno. Not being as much of a piano-trio fan as I used to be, I just can't bring myself to buy this yet, while there's still other stuff out there I want more. Still, at this price.......

No kidding! Since I joined with BFT #4, I've been saving the highlights of each disc onto my hard drive at work as mp3's, and then hitting "random" on the player, and it's like having my own jazz radio station at work! So far with six discs worth of BFT's, I've got about TEN HOURS of music!!!! So yeah, it's too hard to pick a fave!

I'm glad you said that; I read the answer wrong! I mean, I was scratching my head wondering when/how/why Jaco would be singing and playing drums but no bass?!?!?!?

Well, it was this thread that led me to Mysterious Traveller, and I love 'em both (and Tale Spinnin', too!). I hope you'll stay here and post more on these threads!

THAT'S who I was trying to think of for #2! Joe Henderson! That makes much more sense! Now to find out what track and which album!

I finally am hearing it, and oddly enough, I'm really getting into the repetition of the groove. It's almost like something to just move through the day with.

What Sangrey said. My thoughts and prayers are with you tonight.

Today: 1999 - Prince (not the song; the whole damn album!) In My House - The Mary Jane Girls (aw, shuddup; you got a skeleton in yer closet, too) Anything by Hall & Oates That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. Today. -_-

Glad ya got it! I'm just sorry I've been enjoying it for almost a week longer than you! Great stuff, ya?
