Sad City „Shapes In Formation“ (Meda Fury) 2016

Earlier today .... : Bruckner 8 ....

Lou Rhodes „Theyesandeye“ (Nude) 2016

Sarah Mary Chadwick "Roses Always Die" (Riceisnice) 2016

And one of the finest hours by Henry Grimes on wax/tape (IMO) ....

Bruckner 6 ....

Great stuff ....

Earlier today .... :

Sam Grant / Joseph Curwen / Daniel Rejmer "Stanier Black-Five" (Rail Cables) 2016

Dig the Monk sides - probably the best hour of Miroslav Vitouš on wax ....

Excellent performances by Segerstam and the DNRSO ....

Funny - but good - old times ...

Agree on everything you've said regarding Art Pepper .... btw the Shelly Manne/Lee Konitz platter comes highly recommended ....

!!!

Agreed .... would like to name explicitly "French Concert" feat Lee Konitz and a excellent Rhythm Section Mike Wofford (p) + Chuck Domanico (b) + Shelly Manne (dr) .... excellent live performances from 1977 under the drummer's leadership ....

Stupendous performances .... IMO Kissin was impressive in his youth (even more ?) ....

Have this as japanese Vinyl (Toshiba EMI ECJ-50051) - a lovely record ....

Knew the Takacs Quartet only via their excellent Brahms Q recordings - bought the Britten disc in NM condition for 3 Euros .... one of my "best buys" ever ....

Part of the Art Pepper + Hollywood All-Stars also the session originally released as Bill Watrous "Funk'n Fun" - this features a formidable Quartet performance (Art Pepper and rhythm section) of "Angel Eyes" - Art Pepper is masterful (as always on ballads) but even better the fantastic piano solo by Russ Freeman .... a pity this was not a quartet session only ....
