    Andy Bey RIP

    Such sad news. He was one of the greatest, and one of my favourites. R.I.P.
  2. Got my copy today. To me, this is not one of Burrell's greatest albums. The group is not really together, because it was not a regular band. Blakey play like he always does, nothing special, and Timmons' has his problems with the piano at the Five Spot, heavy action and out of tune. Sound on the new reissue is better, but I would have preferred all tracks with the same pianist on one disc. I find this is his best live album: The three tracks Cuscuna chose for the 1987 CD reissue had been on a Japanese LP, btw, with more leftovers from earlier Blue Note sessions: https://www.discogs.com/master/725811-Kenny-Burrell-Swingin
  3. One of my top ten favourite piano solo albums. New remaster? A must have for me.
  4. Very underrated musician, this Mike Nock. Don't forget this great band https://www.discogs.com/artist/135863-The-Fourth-Way
  5. Someone should grab it - it's an excellent set with lots of rare music. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened though it, broadened my view of the era.
  6. Ah - that may be an explanation. Thanks!
  7. Would love to, but can't find him - can you post a link, please?
  8. One of Nina's best live albums, IMO, excellent sound on this reissue: Afterwrds, one of my favourites:
  9. You're welcome. Several interviews with composing jazz musicians, Hancock, George Duke, Rushen, Tony Williams etc. Got the Kindle edition for ten bucks.
  10. I'm not the drummer. I will be the percussionist. Playing Victor Feldman's conga licks on "Do It Again".
  11. Listened through a selection of Steely Dan, from this box set, as I have an opportunity to play a gig or two with a Steely Dan cover band in October.
  12. Thanks a lot! I think Jackie Davis is rather underrated. I guess the recording for Albert Marx is the music released on a Trend LP?
  13. Very underrated music, only one of these concerti is played regularly. But when performed by such competetnt musicians like here, they are as good as any others form the 18th century. Highly recommended.
  14. Finished this bottle tonight, which I opened o Sunday. Average.
  15. https://www.discogs.com/release/11021135-Giuseppe-Torelli-Charivari-Agréable-Kah-Ming-Ng-The-Original-Brandenburg-Concertos
  16. The Cal Tjader disco is now updated to include the Penthouse recordings.
  17. amazon.com is where I found the covers I linked in the Vanguard discography thread. Never trust any online source without a second independent one.
