Incredible.

I ordered two Jackie & Roy CDs today: This Jasmine CD compiles two ABC-Paramount LPs: The Glory of Love (1956) and Bits and Pieces (1957) and Free and Easy! (1958); originally released on ABC-Paramount, reissued by Universal Japan

Excellent.

Now Disc 2 from this set, recorded in Juan-le-Pins: Sheesh, I LOVE the groove that Jack DeJohnette brings to this music.

Disc 3 - The "Lost Quintet" in Stockholm, 1969

Now streaming: Miroslav Vitous - Purple (CBS/Sony Japan, 1970)

NP: Totally agree. Great record. 👍

I described them as "Wonderbread" when I first heard them. That was indeed my first impression. ... But my thinking about them has changed significantly over time. ... What can I say? Sometimes, first impressions are accurate; sometimes, they aren't. That said, I wasn't the person who bought felser's set. I have half a dozen of their LPs. That's (probably) enough for me. Yes. This.

More Sonora Ponceña:

Sonora Ponceña – La Orquesta de Mi Tierra (Inca/Fania, 1978)

Disc 1 - The Bracknell Connection, originally released in 1976 on Tracey's own Steam label

Totally agree. I like how the music flows and flows -- and then modulates into terrific, polyphonic climaxes. ... Keith Tippett's piano is also outstanding.

Earlier: Now:

Yeah, Stenson is terrific, and that album is special, for sure. I'd probably choose Richie Beirach's Elm as my favorite ECM piano trio -- but Serenity wouldn't be far behind.

Beautiful.

Understood! Always nice to have a gem to look forward to.

Now: Earlier: I don't have Bittersweet. Will have to keep an eye out for it. @jazzbo, I agree with you that Carmen sounds great when she's playing piano. I assume you've heard/got her album As Time Goes By: Carmen McRae Alone Live At The Dug. Like the title says, it's just her playing the piano & singing. It's tremendous -- right up there with her very best, imo.

Next up: Mary Lou Williams - Nite Life (Chiaroscuro, 2 CDs) Terrific solo piano

Martial Solal with Gary Peacock & Paul Motian - Just Friends (Dreyfus, 1997)
