Oh man, I still gotta order that ! ! ! Have you gents seen the VIDEO of Lookout Farm from Pö's Carnegie Hall ??? I just discovered it the other day. In case you haven't, here it is: Is this the exact same performance as heard on the NDR/Jazzline CD/LP release? ---------- Now listening to:

The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973) Disc 15

with Charlie Palmieri & Tito Puente

Excellent.

soulpope, do you have the Waldron / Friesen duo LP on Muse? I've never heard it. But I assume that it's excellent too.

Wonderful poster, Oliver!

More SAD news today. Thank you for the music, Mr. Heath! R.I.P.

Ugh. So sorry to hear this news.

Dexter's set with Junior Mance at the 1970 Montreux Jazz Festival is the subject of today's entry on my blog, PLAYING FAVORITES. One of Weston's best solo piano releases, IMO.

Latin Percussion Jazz Ensemble - Just Like Magic (Latin Percussion Ventures, Inc., 1979)

I bet that'll be interesting.

Today's entry on my blog, PLAYING FAVORITES.

Dexter for me too: LOVE the Louvin Bros.

Yup. And Dex in prime form too. Recorded in 1970. Maybe that's why they went with the "old" green label? EDIT: Dexter with Junior Mance At Montreux is also the subject of my post for today (Sunday, 01/19) on PLAYING FAVORITES.

Earland's Black Drops is the subject of today's post on my blog, PLAYING FAVORITES.

I can understand how you might not dig Electric Byrd, Jim. Reading your comments, what came to mind immediately is another BIG difference between Bitches Brew and Electric Byrd: Miles' solos are electrifying and Byrd's are not. ... Then again, it's not really a soloist's record; it's a texture record. (Or, like you say, a "mood" record.) I dig the album's wash of color, its Brazilianisms and arrangements. Airto and Duke P. And Mickey Roker sounds really good too. Didn't say anything about him in the post, and I should've. ... Not at all trying to convince. Just more chatting at the bar over our beers (metaphorically speaking).
