Lars Gullin Sextet - Late Summer

Andreas Weller /tenor & Götz Payer/pn - Max Reger "Blick in die Lieder" (Carus)

@Hutchfan about Kühn Trio Love & Peace Not my cup of tea. But I´m not into piano trio format either. Just curious about latest works of our pioneers like Kühn brothers, Heinz Sauer, Manfred Schoof, Hampel etc. To Joachim: I like Kühn without sidemen. Once caught him at a solo concert. Fascinating improvising, Bach lurkin through the keys....

Mysteries and jazz: Drummer and author Bill Moody died in January. Read his novel "Looking for Chet Baker" about the last days of Mr B in Amsterdam. . Excellent book that I can highly recommend. RIP, Bill Moody http://billmoodyjazz.com/

Friedrich Gulda - Debussy 24 Preludes (MPS)

Götz Weller (tenor) & Markus Payer (piano) Max Reger - Blick in die Lieder (SWR/Carius)

Almost all followers of Lennie during those formative years in Germany. JH and her fabulous band was best. Excellent music, remains timeless IMHO.

Dawn Upshaw, Maria Schneider, Australian Chamber Orchestra and Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra - Winter Morning Walks (Artistshare)

Lars Gullin - Merlin

Brave man, great artist in troubled times and beyond. "I ve always liked to listen to his "Rex Casino". The above pictured book, Coco´s moving account of his astonishing life, is a stunning read and thus highly recommended to everybody interested in history, jazz, Berlin, strength of man and of course Coco himself. RIP, Coco Schumann

Lennie Tristano Quartet - Live at the Confucius Restaurant 1955 (Gambit)

Maybe for some obscure, but it´s always worthwhile diggin up some unknown masterly music. IMHO this one, recorded fifteen years ago, surely is a winner; Wilfred Josephs - Works for clarinet (Metier) - Complete beauty but it is the Clarinet Quintet that´s the real stunner - one of the most precious written for this format.

Lars Gullin with Stan Getz´ Swedish All Stars - Flamingo

Wilfred Josephs - Works for Clarinet (Metier) One quintet and two duo sonatas - well worth exploring. Gorgeous music, lyrical, yet expressive 20th century stuff
