Philip Catherine plays Cole Porter (Challenge)

"Dream", his 28th release on Steeplechase, out now, is excellent. Quartet recording with Gary Versace at the keys. Perry´s tone remains fantastic: lyrical, yet expressive. Interesting setlist - to my knowledge he covers of a Wayne Shorter composition for the first time. Highly recommended!

Regrettably I didn´t notice the thread from late October. Thanks to Late who brought this artist and his album up!

Thanks for steering my attention to this album, Mike! Didn´t know this artist, yet. Fascinating piano recital, Onaje Allan Gumbs is a highly interesting stylist, that´s for sure!

Klaus Doldingers most popular band has been the passport to jazz for many Germans in those days. "Down to earth, open-minded, easygoing and a pleasant character" - couldn´t put it better than Big Beat Steve, indeed! Thank you for all the good times, Klaus Doldinger! RIP
