July 16, 2023 - Baroque Night at the Frankfurt musical academy, period performance department. (detailed review to follow - elaborate renovation work in our apartment kept me busy)

It is only the second time some of his music has been recorded, although he had a good reputation and three of his collections were printed. Rebecca Pechefsky was the first to play some of his pieces, which I put in the player follwing above CD, bought today after a concert of Karla Schröter. http://concert-royal.info http://www.quillmusic.com/images/QC_1005_large_MINI_website.jpg http://www.quillmusic.com

Listing corrected after the listing in the Mosaic Select booklet. No idea what "Tambauri" is supposed to be. Trumpets and French Horn changed for the last session, I made a collective listing. Oh how I love those alphabetical instrument listings on discogs ....

Contrary to the recent Coltrane "discovery", no info about the circumstances of the find. Sound is good, bass a bit too low in the mix, and the sound man took a few bars to open the vocal mic, but otherwise it's okay.

The Complete Clef/Norgran/Verve sessions of Louis Bellson If they can do Buddy Rich, why not Bellson? Lots of Ellingtonians and other good soloists here.

R.I.P.

I once received a CD with totally different music on it - print and all was correct, but what came from my speakers was not what was written. Amazon has a menu in your purchase page for such things.

Received it today - it's great. She seems a bit more subdued than usual, but that only raises the intensity level. 33 minutes, standard for a Newport performance. For Simone fans, a must have.

Thanks for taking care!

Donato's piano artistry was sublime. Let this album sink in:

That song haunted me after I first heard it, and it never left my musical memory.

Reading all these positive comments are undermining my resistance .....

I scored an autographed copy of this CD on discogs!

R.I.P. He was responsible for the Cuban influence in Brazilian music through his membership in Mongo Santamaria's band - many montunos in his pieces. This is one of my favourites:

Jane Birkin R.I.P.

It's here, and I listened to the first two tracks. It gives a good impression of how the quartet sounded live at the Gate, engineer Richard Aldersons's notes are a great read and leave nothing to be desired as far as information on the sound is concerned. Elvin was loud, but that's what Coltrane wanted him to be.
