  1. Yep, Stitt and Harris (and Sam Jones) made a terrific series of albums Cobblestone & Muse, and -- aside from Constellation and Tune-Up -- no one seems to talk about them much. But I like them.
  2. Yes. It's a such a great record, isn't it!?!? As for my favorite KJ "American Quartet" record, I'd be hard pressed to choose between Shades, Death & the Flower, and Treasure Island. Too difficult to pick just one of them!
  3. Brahms: String Quintets Nos. 1 & 2 / Brandis Quartett, Brett Dean (Brilliant Classics, rec. 1996) These works have the profundity and depth one expects of a symphony, but it's somehow distilled to just five players. Gorgeous!
  4. BRAHMS Sonatas for Piano & Violin, Nos. 1-3 / Rubinstein with Henryk Szeryng and Piano Concerto No. 1 / Gilels, Jochum, BPO Both of these recordings are close to my heart.
  5. Lee Konitz - Inside Hi-Fi (Atlantic, 1956) One of the finest albums from LK's early years, IMO.
  6. Continuing my recent Mose Allison kick with: Mose Allison - Creek Bank (Prestige) with Addison Farmer (b) and Ronnie Free (d) 2 LPs on 1 CD: - Tracks 1-10 originally released as Young Man Mose - Tracks 11-20 originally released as Creek Bank
  7. Perhaps Scriabin? Or Ligeti?
  8. This is going down nicely with my Sunday morning coffee: Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke (Muse, rec. 1975) with a perfect rhythm section: Barry Harris, Sam Jones, and Billy Higgins Earlier: with Mr. PC and Art Taylor
  9. Thank you, @jazzcorner. Very interesting stuff. Allison's voice comes through in this interview just as clearly as it does in his songs; for example: "We're all dumb, but some of us are dumber than others."
  10. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
  11. Funny. I associate Sundazed with country and country-rock.
  12. Mickey Newbury - Rusty Tracks (Hickory-ABC, 1977) co-produced by Bobby Bare More Newbury magic -- even if it isn't quite as unconventionally brilliant as Lovers.
  13. Mickey Newbury - Lovers (Elektra, 1975) A 5-star blazing masterpiece, IMO. Frisco Mabel Joy is probably Newbury's best-known album, but I think Lovers is the finest LP he ever made. from AllMusic: "Given the sadness, melancholy, and even grief expressed on his earlier recordings, Newbury's familiarity with the shadow side of the soul is well-known, but none of his recordings cuts such a deep furrow into pain, pessimism, heartbreak, and futile longing as Lovers." Me too!
  14. I can't think of anyone who used quotes as much as Dexter did. It was a big part of his musical vocabulary.
  15. It's beautiful, isn't it!? And such lovely instrumentation: flute, cello, bass, and percussion. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other jazz record with that combination of instruments. It gives the music a very unique sound.
  16. Good news. It's an excellent album.
  17. Sir Roland Hanna - Solo Piano: Free Spirit (Storyville) Disc 2 - recorded in 1974
  18. Sirone - Artistry (Of the Cosmos, 1979); moved-by-sound CD reissue with James Newton (fl), Muneer Bernard Fennell (vc), and Don Moye (perc)
  19. No way! It's terrific. Now . . . more Sonora Ponceña: Explorando (Inca, 1978)
  20. Sonora Ponceña - Musical Conquest (Conquista Musical) (Inca, 1976) ¡Música fabulosa! Yep! Me too. . . . And I enjoy Allison's piano playing as well.
