Dick Hyman In Recital (Reference)

A friend of mine made a copy of his Jazz Art LPs for me some years ago, so I am not sure, but maybe I'll pass on this one. Obviously, he's not at his level from 30 years earlier, but it's great to have more Jabbo on disc!

I think neither Bucky Pizzarelli nor Marty Grosz have been mentioned. I like them quite a lot, specially as "organizers a la Eddie Condon".

In my opinion, and except for the Mardi Gras disc (a very poor epitaph), every track in their albums WAS a potential hit. I've yet to find a rock group with six consecutive albums as consistent as CCR + Cosmos Factory + Bayou Country + Green River + Willy And The Poorboys + Pendulum (listed in random order). Just my two cents.

Big fan of the CCR here! I was kind of CCR freak about 20 years ago and, after more than 10 years of just jazz listening (and a bit of blues and classical), I put one of those Chronicle compilations on the car stereo the other day, and in just a few seconds I found myself shouting again like mad that "... there's a bathroom on the right" chorus [CCR freaks hint]. This has lead me to listen to their seven studio albums in a row, once again. Geez, they still have that energy. Love them!

Omix is Ximo Tebar's label. Is he on that album? And, by the bye, how do you pronounce a double L at the beginning of a word in Spanish? Is it anything like the Welsh double L? MG Nope. No Tebar on that date. It's a trio disc, with Coloma on piano and Hammond XB-2, Josemi Moraleda on double bass and Ramón Díaz on drums. "Lluis" is a Catalan name, to be pronounced as in Spanish "lluvia". Remember: "la lluvia en Sevilla es una pura maravilla".

Last night: Lluis Coloma Trio at the Café Central (Madrid) Boogie-woogie and blues Catalonian player. Spirited and hyper-vitamin piano playing. Lifts the spirit in a col night! Best of: -his technically demanding version of Rimsky Korsakov's "Flight of the bumblebee", based on an arrangement from the 40s -his fully-equipped bag of boogie-woogie tricks (repeated notes and chords in the upper register; locked hands with fortissimo dynamics; sweeps up and down the keyboard with one, two... any number of fingers, with his fist...; wonderful and varied left-hand boogie patterns...) -a very wide and non-tyring repertoire Only flaw: his stride piano passages on a couple of tunes. Bassist was playing eight-to-the-bar, drummer was playing... I don´t know what he was playing!, and Coloma, though playing the oom-pah, oom-pah (octave-stride-chord), didn't get the right pulse, IMHO...

From ebay: -Earl Hines with Wallace Davenport - In New Orleans '75 (Giants of Jazz) -Engelbert Wröbel's Swing Society - Sophisticated Swing (Arbors) Directly from Lluis Coloma at his concert last night: -Lluis Coloma - Remember (Omix) -Lluis Coloma - Boogie portraits (Swing Alley) -Lluis Coloma - Lonely Avenue (Swing Alley) From a member of this board: -Dick Hyman - Plays Duke Ellington (Reference) -Count Basie & Oscar Peterson - Satch and Josh...
