First listen: James Brown - Song Within the Story (NGP, 2022) with Clark Johnston (b) and Anthony Michelli (d); Mike Murley (ts) joins them for three of the ten cuts Last week, I heard/saw Toronto-based jazz guitarist James Brown perform. He'd just released a new CD, so I picked it up afterwards.

Yes.

Next up: Dizzy Gillespie - Dizzy on the French Riviera (Philips, 1962) As a playlist drawn from Dizzy's Verve/Philips Small Group Sessions set on Mosaic

More Joe Hen with Jack:

My posts for last week on my 80s jazzblog: - David Murray Octet - New Life (Black Saint, 1987) - Sphere - On Tour aka Live on Tour (Red, 1986) - Steve Coleman & Five Elements - On the Edge of Tomorrow (JMT/Winter & Winter, 1986) No commentary yet. I hope to write them up later this week.

Hearing Jack DeJohnette lay down a groove never gets old.

Still kickin' with Sammy Davis, Jr.:

Not necessarily more. Just as much as. NP: I'm also reading Davis' autobiography. He led an unusual, fascinating life.

riddlemay - Taruskin was sorta like Stanley Crouch. Always argumentative. Never willing to consider that others might have a different perspective. Always absolutely certain -- even when certainty was impossible. Even when I agreed with him -- and he was incredibly knowledgeable -- he turned me off. It wasn't what he said that made him a pest; it's the way that he said it.

Sure thing.

I'm enjoying it so far. It's contemporary bluegrass. Tuttle is a very skilled flat-picking guitarist and singer. Produced by dobroist Jerry Douglas. Here's a sample:

First listen, after a friend's recommendation:

Interesting. My take is very different. I dig the trio cuts. Now listening to:

Now listening to Saint-Saëns' String Quartet No. 1 performed by Quatuor Viotti, as heard on this set:

Now playing: Charlie Palmieri - Gigante Hits (Alegre, 1978) with vocals by Vitin Aviles and Victor Velazquez

Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Op.64 / André Previn & the London SO (EMI)

Gotcha. Thanks. Found something here: https://www.tidalwavesmusic.com/catalog

Gents - Who's doing these Timeless reissues? Music on Vinyl?

I agree. It's strangely flat.
