  1. Next, this one, but self-produced by Carla and issued by DIW:
  2. R.I.P. Just read about him in Max Salazar's book on the Mambo Kings. He sure was one of them.
  3. That's the first one that came to my mind, too!
  4. I kind of grew up with both Corea and Jarrett. I listened to Is and ARC many, many times, Altshul's playing on the latter was a big stimulus to start playing myself. I see Corea as still searching for his musical identity back then, but it is quite a stretch from Is and Circle to the electric RTF, which I saw live and found too calculated and bombastic. He lost me back then. When he reunited with Vitous and Haynes, I liked that, but all the other stuff left me cold. The only Jarrett I still listen to is the band with Redman. I find the trio uninspiring and repetitive, and his solos not that special after I heard a local amateur pianist improvise in that style at will during a rehearsal. His attitude bordering on the arrogant spoiled the rest fro me, just as did Corea's involvement with Scientology, which does not seem to be a big issue in the US fan scene. I respect them both, of course. May Corea rest in peace, he sure found his way, it seems to me.
  5. My thoughts exactly. Corea as a fusion bandleader never convinced me.
  6. There is a complete discography here: https://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/GordonH/index.php
  7. R.I.P. A true original and a big inspiration to become one myself.
  8. This afternoon:
  9. This is an excellent album! Isn't that track the one where Dexter quotes "Some Other Blues" in his solo?
  10. This 4 CD box: https://www.discogs.com/Ferrara-Ensemble-Crawford-Young-Figures-Of-Harmony-Songs-Of-Codex-Chantilly-C-1390/release/13765482 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chantilly_Codex
  11. This weekend it was a Sicilian white wine:
  12. Montoliu fans could add this trio CD recorded the same day: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/tete-montoliu-albums/47804-barcelona-meeting.html
  13. Strange that this never was on CD. Even the SJL series did not include this. It was included on two cheapo multi-album boxes on AVID and Enlightenment that focus either on Wess or Richardson. Different cover:
  14. I finally gave in and ordered a copy, and it indeed sounds great!
  15. None of the sessions listed in Lord has Jimmy Crawford in the personnel, and always has trumpets and other horns, Mannie Klein or Carl Fischer leading the band. Could that be Mundell Lowe on guitar? None of clarinetists listed matches the one in the picture. Why not contact Bear Family by e-maIL? info@bear-family.de
  16. ..... no cymbals either.
