Just played Al Cohn`s "Rifftide" featuring him .... R.I.P ....

Very good ....

As good as these recording are - Paris and Stockhoml widely/officially available, so this leaves Copenhagen ....

Yesterday evening .... : Fell addicted to Helen Merrill from the day I`ve encountered her album with Cilfford Brown for the first time (aka decades ago) - but based only on a rather recent insisting of my best friend aka forum member "blacksaint" I`ve learned tp appreciate (more) the late Stan Getz - his solos are pure story-telling for sure ....

(IMO) her early recordings showcase a rather lightvoiced girlish style .... things change with "Memphis Queen" and "Queen Alone" - her voice is more mature and gained strength .... what a pity only limited material documented this change/evolution in the 70's ....

Not my favorite Tom Waits euvre - but the cover art is priceless ....

Very sad news indeed .... R.I.P ....

Excellent ....

!!!

Leaving some earlier classical concerts with/because of my parents aside, my first encounter was Pink Floyd on their "Dark Side Of The Moon Tour" in 1973 ....

A beauty ....
