K.542 and K.564

Op.59/1

A new discovery. Includes Frank Strazzeri on piano, one of my favorites.

This concert was excellent. Tim Green played beautifully. The Big Band played with both skill and enthusiasm.

Allen, I saw The Mary Lou Williams Trio at a club in Detroit in (as best I can recall) the 80's. I got the same impression you have regarding her rhythmic approach to bebop & post-bop tunes. Can you suggest a recorded example for Al Haig where he has trouble with a more contemporary tune? I have noticed a similar rhythmic situation when pre-Bop pianists play bop and post bop tunes. Ralph Sutton, Dick Hyman, Dick Wellstood are examples.

R.I.P.

This evening will be going to The Century Room to hear alto sax player Tim Green perform with the University of Arizona Jazz Band.
