Great! Now who is Serena?

Silver and Eddie Harris - reason enough for a box set reissue of the five Silveto albums.

I think Blue Note expected better sales by re-issuing single CDs of all albums than by licensing them. Or it might have been Horace's preference. Cuscuna always consulted him about unreleased material.

Having a listen into today's arrivals before going to sleep:

The next wekeend bottle: AOP Côtes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel 2018 - Vignerons Catalanes

One of the greatest!

That's how I understood Keepnews' notes in the box set, too. There's a list of Evans' appearances as a sideman on Riverside in the booklet.

R.I.P. He always played fine and swung, and I always loved it.

This afternoon:

But there is a mental and a spiritual side as well, and balancing all these is the real challenge. Otherwise you make music that may be technically impressive, but not moving or touching. Vaughan found her balance in her own way. In different ways at different points in her career. I personally love her early Musicraft sides best, respect her later stuff like the album with Clifford Brown, and remember being positively surprised when I bought a Pablo LP Crazy And Mixed Up. She was one of the greatest, personal tastes aside.

A Night In Tunisia with new Spanish language lyrics from the album Live Lunch Break by arguably the best Latin Jazz singer, Maria Rivas (1960-2019), It probably was recorded in 2011 and released only as a download, together with her last Studio album, Motivos, which was recorded in 2018, while she already was diagnosed with the cancer that soon took her life. Sidemen were not identified, except for her husband Miguel Chacón on bass, and are hard to guess, as she performed with changing personnel often different from her studio groups. She is a favourite of mine and this is the third time I featured her in a BFT. This is the style that was at the center of her activities, she thought of herself as a Latin Jazz singer in the first place. There is a number of videos on YouTube in that style. https://www.discogs.com/artist/960981-Maria-Rivas

Just found his facebook and youtube pages. Solid modern bop.

R.I.P. Never heard any music that he played on, but I found out that he was drumming in Pony Poindexter's quartet immediately before the latter's move to Europe and was supposed to record with him, which never took place. Are there any recordings with him out there?

The weekend bottle: Domaine Corne-Loup Tavel 2022

This afternoon, five different recordings of Debussy's L'après-midi d'un faune:

Thanks for linking, nice read. Watkins deserves it. I always liked him much more than Chambers, great tone!

Today's listening, so far:

My experience is based on German language forums, perhaps the general attitude is different in English language forums. Would you post links to these? Yes, it is a wide and diverse area of music, I can relate to that. Without my decades of listening and learning I would be lost.
