wkcr is playing sirone now and for a few hours to come.

leaves, you say?

long and short? omg think of the album covers that could have been, or perhaps the pair could have been options traders.

thanks for the pronunciation. http://www.chantalegagne.com/

i was recently very delighted to hear a circa 1960's savoy recording by barbara long. her voice was feathery, light, even delicate, with effortless swinging. some of her backing musicians were reasonably well-known at the time, al harewood being one.

....listening to the talented young canadian pianist-composer chantale gagne. i am very favorably impressed. i especially love her very rich slow stuff. class and chops wear very well with me. i am sure that some of you know something of her.

thanks-- you very well described rouse playing, which i find to be a marvelous ccomplement to brother monk.

last night, in listening to some of monk's live recordings from france and some earlier one's from the 1960s, the empathy between monk and charlie rouse is more than striking, and some of my most favorite music. to me it is very beautiful, even mindblowing. i even generally prefer it to the monk-coltrane collaborations. i was also was reintroduced to the monk composition, locomotive, which i seem to have forgotten.

i am not sure there is a more magnificant beautiful complimentary relationship in the wh.. ole musical literature. tell me more.

after laz at blue lake is done with his big band monk tribute at 3am eastern, wkcr will be doing another 21 hours of brother theo music. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/wkcr/ as for me, this 4 pack is now a 3 pack.

agreed. sofia, bulgaria 1958 one of my top ten recordings, ever. all other solo versions pale..................

you captured that wonderful special moment in time beautifully. thanks for sharing.

thank you, i will indeed order that disc. i have long admired and loved miss schweitzer's work.

that is a classic, indeed- i must remember to reuse that. it is CERTAINLY original.

wouldnt it be awesome if the entire intakt catalogue, or most of it, was available for download? i havent checked. eMusic has 26 Intakt titles listed in their inventory... this is the US version of eMusic I'm checking, so I don't know if the Europeans have access to more (or fewer) titles. I like a good deal of what I've heard from this label (AvS, Marilynn Crispell, Barry Guy, Maybe Monday/Frith), so I'm looking forward to hearing "At This Time." Andrew Cyrille is an absolute MONSTER... maybe the best living drummer out there right now. Cheers, Shane andrew has a field day on this one, displaying ALL his colors, with several concise solos and many settings with a great variety of percussion instruments, but is never intrusive.. are you sympathetic to the the london jazz composers orchestra on intakt? through their remarkable recordings i initially learned of the intakt label 8 or 9 years ago.

thanks for reminding me that my valued cadence subscription has lapsed.

having been covered by an excellent free employer provided medical insurance, i am confronted in december (at 65) with having to choose a medicare D supplement from a bewildering array of choices. my doctor says the he is unable to give me input. this choice is critical to my financial health, as well. can anyone recommend u.s. providers with which they've had excellent service and fair prices? thanks in advance.

what a splendid splendid article. thank you thank you thank you

intakt records of switzerland, a tiny tiny music label, and its owner, patrik landolt, produce what amounts to limited edition often adventurous and exciting recordings by many of the world's most respected progressive jazz and classical artists, and rarely sell more than 250 copies of each. i was excited to learn that the american avant trio, trio one, seasoned jazz statesmen and masters all, had recorded with the renowned, little known university of michigan jazz professor/jazz master, pianist geri allen. these folks are equally comfortable in both the most adventurous and refined sensitive exquisite musical settings. during their long careers they have worked together in many recording and live settings. what is immediately apparent is the strength and control of each of these players. thoughts of a series of recordings, perhaps less structured and confining, by these artists in a variety of settings causes one to salivate. perhaps trio three should be quartet three. percussionist andrew cyrille bassist reggie workman reed player oliver lake pianist geri allen during much of this recording's 10 selections, these powerhouse players are surprisingly, often, to my ears, very concise, but restrained and deferential in their statements. they all have so much to say, but generally, here, in a most polite manner. the two most moving selections here are swamini(for the late pianist/harpist alice coltrane, and a tribute for the incredibly powerful and spiritual late jazz pianist spanning several generations, mary lou williams. lake, seems to often have particular difficulty finding places to play without walking over the other players, as does ms. allen. the music is tasteful, yet challenging, which makes it a rarity guaranteed not to sell, and somewhat more accesible than much of these artists work. miss allen seems slightly uncomfortable in some of the freer(on this recording) settings, and applies a most economical, and beautiful setting for most of these pieces, at least for this date, seeming to be the actual leader. this is 3am, pipesmoking, george dickel sipping music of the highest order by 4 most unlikely master musicians. this beautiful recording, closely microphoned, and wonderfully intimate, downloaded from amazon for only 8 bucks to my ipod, is a reminder that trailblazing creativity, beautiful form, feeling, taste, and incredible musical virtuosity are still to be found, at least among the 175 folks around the world who will purchase and enjoy this lovely lovely recording.

monty kelly, not a jazz artist as i recall, did some really nice orchestral arrrangements in the late 1950s utilizing topflite jazz musicians. many popular music arrangements grow stale as they age. many of kelly's today are still fresh, at least to me. his recording of porgy and bess i find quite enjoyable. some of the big band uptempo numbers are really outstanding. i'm sure many savvy organissimo-types have some info on trumpeter-arranger monty kelly.
