Oh thank you ! I really like it ! Your touch reminds me a bit of Wynton Kelly . Really nice ! And I´m glad there is someone posting music here. It´s a drag that there didn´t happen anything in the last years.

Me too, in 1982 ! Until then, the only book about Miles that I knew was Bill Cole´s book from the first half of the 70´s. I liked Ian Carr´s book much more ! Bill Cole just wrote off what Miles did after 1970, all that same shit the ignorants where throwing on Miles. To say, that "On the Corner" is an insult on the intellect of the people is just low shit.

Not bad. I saw him live one time with Jimmy Ford on alto sax

This is about trio recordings, right ? Well how about the Monk album for Prestige, the one with Little Rootie Tootie and so on ? McCoy Tyner Super Trios was very much heard when I was in the last year of High School. Bud Powell ”Time Waits” was my favoruite Bud Powell Trio album. But also the one from Paris, Montmatre 1962 or so with Round Midnight, Night In Tunisia, Shaw Nuff, Thelonious, and so on is one of the best for me. I like also the Trio album Horace Silver did in the early 50s for Blue Note.

I saw George Coleman live shortly after he had recorded „Amsterdam after Dark”, but on bass was Ray Drummond instead of Sam Jones.

I think some of those have other album covers now. Is this the record from Montmatre with that fine version of "Like Someone in Love" in Ab ? With that really fine recorded cymbal sound from Tootie Heath. I think I have it and it´s titled somethings like "Montmatre Collection" though its not a collection, just one album with I think 4 tunes, among them also Body and Soul, the others I think is some medium or fast tempo blues....., Kenny Drew is on Piano, that´s sure, and Tootie Heath on drums, and maybe NHOP on bass but that ist not hard to guess, he seemed to be an all records that were made in Danemarca in those years 1960´s, 1970´......

I love it ! It´s sooooo great. I love Billie Holiday !!!!

Oh I didn´t know that. I have the album but must admit that I have not listened to the old Trane on Prestige for much time. In this troubled year I found more healing force from the very late Trane when Pharoah joined the group and it was with Alice Coltrane. But for small hours, since I have listened to some Miles Prestige albums lately, I will have it on the playing list, that´s the hours where I listen to old straight ahead jazz mostly, when I get in some kind of trance where I don´t know wether I am on or off (no harmful stuff in my case, I don´t use drugs and don´t drink alcool)

I like this one very much. There is so much good bop on it, and Hampton Hawes sounds great on Fender Rhodes. I know many purists don´t like that, but I grew up in that period so I always did love electric as much as acoustic. Why....it´s just music. The version of "Yardbird Suite" is especialy great !

He was great. I think I had heard him many times with Johnny Griffin, but I think also with other musicians, maybe Joe Henderson, anyway I heard him with different groups, but most with Johnny Griffin and everything was about in the late 70´s until early 80´s. He was so big that bass really looked small.

Thank you for sharing it with us. I didn´t know that Billy Strayhorn was so small, he looks like a little child. Billy Holiday is soooo beautiful. Exactly that´s the kind of faces I love. Women who have that look, I look at them and feel familiar. Great pic. I have heard that the only thing RVG was interested in was the sound of recording. He never stated anything about the music itself. Before I knew that I always hoped that some day he will write a book about all those great sessions he did, about the music, the genius musicians who made it etc.......

Great Choice. From the BN albums Bud made, I like most "Time Waits" and the second side of "Bud!" where Curtis Fuller is on it. I don´t like Side A at all. From Vol. I I am fond of the session with Fats and Sonny. I love it. I had purchased it very soon after it was made. I was the "Star" in HighSchool because I had this and the VSOP "Tempest at Colloseum", all the jazz loving class mates came to my place to listen.

Good Idea. I had a lot of work the last nights and in the small hours listened to easy music, like the last days the 4 Prestige Miles Albums Cookin´ Relaxin´Workin´Steamin´, this night towards the morning hours I am sure I will spin what you suggested, that´s the right music for exhausted albeit happy people. I had to suffer so much this year, but my girlfriend is such a great help I´m much better now. oh I love those four ESP disks of Bud at Birdland. For example I like the version of "Tea for Two" much better than the studio record for Verve, and "It could happen to you" much better than on the BN album. And on this album I think "Oblivion" is also much better than the Verve. At least in my opinion.

I must look for this "A Prayer before Dawn".

Again a Favoriten of mine. I hat seen Pharoah live quote often in the Earl 80s in acoustic quartet setting.
