Listened again. Yes, Mr. Firantello really leans in. But the piano seems to be badly tuned.

This one?

Yes, please elaborate. I cancelled my pre-order after hearing the samples as too much other stuff was on the way to my home. I'm not sure that I would listen to it more than once.

Why not Don Cherry?

If you cannot find it anymore ..... neither do I.

Started my journey through this set today.

Excellent disc. The sonatas are played very lively, as well as Letzbor or others did. Each is followed by an ostinato based piece by a contemporary composer, on one or two harpsichords (which was what attracted me to this release, as Olivier Fortin and Skip Sempe are great doing this). They got the ideas since Weichlein often uses ostinatos.

Just ordered a cheap copy from a discogs seller .... you made me curious.

I think I have a DL of this one on some hard drive ..... thanks for the reminder!

Italian singer Gegé Telesforo also sang the lyric version.

Cuscuna should have paired this with the Groove Holmes session with Scott, McCann and Pass!

They are expensive! Maybe that's why retailers didn't stock them, when you can get an RVG etc. for cheap. I paid € 45 for my copy, but as this is my favourite Blue and Mobley, I really wanted it.

These are two from Brazilian bands, late 1980's fusion music, but nice, not as hard driving as some US bands. https://www.discogs.com/release/3755051-Cama-de-Gato-Cama-De-Gato/image/SW1hZ2U6NDYzMDY1OTE= https://www.discogs.com/release/5981119-Pascoal-Meirelles-Anna

Bought this as I didn't like the sound of the RVG CD. Now that's more like it!

https://www.discogs.com/release/22878194-Scott-Hamilton-Paolo-Birro-Aldo-Zunino-Alfred-Kramer-Live-At-Museo-Piaggio Nice, but not overwhelming. Perfect if you like natural club sound. Hamilton sounds nice, contrary to when I saw him live around the time this was recorded, when he seemed tired and uninspired.

Twenty years ago I would have loved to hear a session with Wayne Shorter, Stanley Cowell, Reggie Workman or Richard Davis, and Andrew Cyrille.

No, his forum name was tjobbe.

I love Vienna! When I get there again I will have to meet at least two forum members.

I think it was around 2005 when a bass player who has since disappeared from the forum and myself had a gig in Vienna and met another member who called himself Rockefeller center at the Blue Tomato to hear the Flip Phillip Ed Partyka Dectet. We had a lot of fun and that band played great. Besides that I met king ubu on two occasions and bought my first SACD player from another vanished member.

I love Watkins' playing. Koch Jazz reissued the two Atlantic albums, Fresh Sound has the two Dawn albums with the half one added to the first as a bonus. The Mercury is nice, if you love french horn. I recently found a pristine copy of it, sounds great. And do not forget his two Blue Note ten-inchers. Gunther Schuller once said "If anyone can do it on the french horn, it's Julius!" https://jazzdiscography.com/Leaders/WatkinsJulius-ldr.php

I helped myself by typing it in as location ... 😁
