  1. Just goes to show that we all hear music differently -- because Hanna is among my favorite jazz pianists. I think there's a wide swath of classical music that's woven into Hanna's playing. (Arthur Rubinstein was one of his favorites.) So Hanna doesn't swing the way that most of his Detroit peers do/did -- pianists like, say, Tommy Flanagan or Barry Harris. Hanna still swings; it's just different, subtler. Just my take, of course. Now playing: I'm still getting to know this relatively new-to-me album. But I'm really digging it, so far.
  2. More Stanley Cowell -- in a trio format or otherwise -- is always fine by me. Also agree that both Illusion Suite and Equipoise are wonderful. (I have both albums on vinyl.) Yes, Crosswinds is a TERRIFIC record.
  3. The New Phil Woods Album (RCA, 1976) and Oliver Lake - Gallery (Gramavision, 1986) with Geri Allen, Fred Hopkins, Pheeroan akLaff, and (on one cut) Rasul Siddik
  4. Now on my turntable: Clifford Jordan Quintet featuring Junior Cook - Two Tenor Winner (Criss Cross, 1985) with Kirk Lightsey, Cecil McBee, and Eddie Gladden
  5. Roland Hanna & George Mraz - Play for Monk (MHS, rec. 1978) Originally released on the Artists House label, as shown below:
  6. Ohh! Satoh & Moriyama together. That looks very interesting indeed.
  7. Now playing: Bobby Hutcherson - Medina (BN, rec. 1969) Connoisseur Series CD that includes Spiral (less one cut) as bonus tracks Probably my favorite album(s) by the great Hutcherson-Land Quintet. This iteration of the group with Stanley Cowell, Reggie Johnson & Joe Chambers was special.
  8. Lucky you! Satoh is fantastic.
  9. Disc 1 - originally released as Firm Roots
  10. Next up: Billy Cobham - Crosswinds (Atlantic, 1974)
  11. Yes, Scriabin. Most definitely. Also Charles Ives.
  12. Yep! Once I found a long-missing CD under my CD player. God only knows how it got there.
  13. Mellow Mongo: I really like both of those albums. Hooray for Harrell.
  14. Giving this a listen after reading a positive review by @Ken Dryden in the new edition of The New York City Jazz Record: features an all-Brazilian rhythm section -- Helio Alves, Nilson Matta & Duduka Da Fonseca -- with Ken Peplowski & Nicholas Payton sitting in on selected cuts
  15. Yes !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
  16. Another outstanding country compilation:
  17. A compilation of Bare's early-70s Mercury sides.
  18. Back to Mr. T: Stanley Turrentine - Jubilee Shouts (BN, 2 LPs, 1978) Sides 3 & 4 -- subsequently reissued on CD as Jubilee Shout!!! -- with Tommy Turrentine, Kenny Burrell, Sonny Clark, Butch Warren, and Al Harewood A terrific Turrentine session, one of my favorites.
  19. Now spinning: Jeremy Steig - Wayfaring Stranger (Blue Note, 1971) featuring Eddie Gomez (b) and Don Alias (d) with Sam Brown (g, on a few cuts) For sure.
