    Why I hate Miles

    Since there has been so much "support" from the "I hate Miles" contingent, I'll say he was / is one of the greatest jazz musicians, influences, talent scouts ever. Thanks &, of course, IMHO.
  2. Sheila Jordan: Sheila's Back In Town (SPLASC(H) 804) Recorded 1998 Very cool IMHO.

    Julius Hemphill

    Marty Ehrlich is much influenced by Hemphill also.
  6. Not jazz but the lead singer in a rock group called Shivaree is Ambrosia Parsley.
  7. The Riverside with Hall Overton arrangements is better IMO.
  8. I have this CD also. Thanks for the additional info. on who's playing. The CD insert only has about a third of the players listed.
  9. I agree with muskrat ramble. Saved me a lot of typing.
  10. Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor, Max McGee, Boyd Dowler, Ray Nitschke, etc., etc. Plus he was apparently able to motivate people to play above their potential.
  11. I had this on vinyl. Sold my collection several years ago. Haven't heard it since. Certainly was a unique item in Hooker's discography. As I recall it was pretty laid back. Seemed like Hooker was pretty oblivious to what was going on behind him. Jones & Hayes were somewhat reticent sounding. Overall worth a listen, but not in the pantheon of any of those present IMO.

    Sir Roland Hanna

    Milano, Paris , New York on Venus - a John Lewis tribute The Three Black Kings with Cyrille & Richard Davis (JFP001) - 1997 Everything I Love - gorgeous solo album (IPO1002) - released 2002
  13. My overall impression is more positive than most of the above. There are CDs on Soul Note & Arabesque that are well worth your attention. The Tiny Bell trio albums on Songlines & Hat are great. I wasn't a big fan of Witness & Freak In. I'm curious about the new one. Wonder how Frisell will fit in.
  14. I haven't heard Line On Love (Palmetto). The Long View is an Enja release. Apparently there is some sort of distribution arrangement with Justin Time. There's a long interview with Ehrlich in Shuffle Boil #4 which sheds some light on where he's coming from. A major influence was Julius Hemphill. I hear some of that on The Long View. Great roster of musicians, fascinating music IMO. Not for casual listening.
  15. David / Whitney / Kramer Don't know the first names & what else they wrote. Maybe someone does.
  16. The Gerry Hemingway CDs are worth searching out.

    Jimmy Smith

    Another positive vote. Get it!
  18. Come on guys. PI records is bringing out some great music. This is up there with their best. Nobody else rushing out to record Mark Shim, let alone Ellman. I think the CD is just fine.Of course after listening to music for almost 50 years, what can I hear.
  19. The Mahler CDs on Winter & Winter are exceptional IMO. I like them even better than the Goldberg Variations. Caine plays great piano on a Marty Ehrlich quartet CD on Enja called Song.

    Ran Blake

    I had Blue Potato on vinyl years ago. I recall it as being as good as his other solo LPs. I sold it with the rest of my vinyl collection & haven't heard it since. Also want to mention Blake / Braxton: A Memory Of Vienna (hatOLOGY 505). It was recorded 1988 in Vienna & is made up of 8 standards ranging from Four & Soul Eyes to Just Friends & Alone Together. Very nice, as you might expect.
