Thanks for sharing this. I've enjoyed Sabbagh's playing for long time, and I expect that his new album is one that I'll be picking up.

❤️ ❤️

Sides 1 and 2 recorded April 13, 1958; originally released in 1961 as Ramblin' with Mose. Sides 3 and 4 recorded February 13, 1959; originally released in 1959 as Autumn Song.

I love JLL's country records for Mercury-Smash.

@JSngry, I think Randy Weston is on the left and Max is in the middle. I don't know who the man is on the right.

NP:

Yes. Same for me.

A desert-island LP now spinning on my 'table: Dave Liebman & Richie Beirach - Forgotten Fantasies (A&M-Horizon, 1976)

Now playing: Jean Martinon - The Late Years: Erato and HMV Recordings, 1968-1975 (Warner Classics) CD 5 Works by Marcel Landowski performed by Martinon & the Orchestre National de l'ORTF: - Symphony No. 2 - Piano Concerto No. 2 - with Annie d'Arco (piano) These are the first & only Landowski recordings I've ever heard. It's intense, thrilling stuff. Very mid-20th century on the tonal end of the spectrum, coming out of composers like Honegger & Shostakovich. I'd like to explore more of Landowski's music. If anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears.

NP: Thanks.

Yep. Latter-day "hidebound" bluegrass can get really monotonous. In jazz, there's an expectation of (more or less) innovation. That's not the case with bluegrass. In fact, in bluegrass, adherence to tradition is considered a virtue. In that regard, bluegrass has more in common with the Blues (the genre, not the form), rather than jazz. Agreed! I was there last year. My daughter Elena and me at Merlefest.

I totally agree, Lon. Bill O'Connell is terrific & very harmonically sophisticated -- like Herbie. Here are some of my favorites: - Searching (Inner City, 1978) - Black Sand (Random Chance, 2001) - Triple Play (Savant, 2008) - Wind Off the Hudson (Savant, 2019) NP: Eddie Higgins in Chicago (Solo Art, rec. 1978) Originally released as two LPs on the Claremont label I do. I was eight at the time. Mrs. Norman's third grade class. What do you think of that Szabo record, Jim? I've never heard it.

I love bluegrass. I like to think of it as the jazz of country music. I'm most drawn to players like Bill Monroe and Doc Watson who incorporated a big ol' dose of blues feeling into their music.

The Seldom Scene's first LP issued in 1972.

More bluegrass: 1984 Liberty vinyl reissue; originally released on United Artists in 1973
