Oh yes. Excellent stuff!

Eddie Palmieri - Palmas (Nonesuch, 1994) Donald Harrison, Brian Lynch, and Conrad Herwig are the featured horn soloists here.

O.K.

Robert, I love these list-type threads -- if only to see what others are grooving to. I started a similar thread on jazz favorites in the 21st century, so it's focused on the last twenty years instead of the last ten. Click here if you'd like to take a look. More grist for the mill of discussion. EDIT: Here's my shortened list, modified for this thread: JD Allen – Radio Flyer (Savant) Kenny Barron – Concentric Circles (Blue Note) Richie Beirach – Impressions of Tokyo: Ancient City of the Future (Out Note) The Brazilian Trio – Constelação (Motéma) Joey Calderrazo – Live (Sunnyside) Bill Carrothers – Castaways (Pirouet) Marc Cary Focus Trio – Four Directions (Motéma) Ryan Cohan – The River (Motéma) Adam Cruz – Milestone (Sunnyside) Alexis Cuadrado – A Lorca Soundscape (Sunnyside) Duduka Da Fonseca – New Samba Jazz Directions (Zoho) Orrin Evans – Flip the Script (Posi-Tone) Tom Harrell – Trip (HighNote) Donald Harrison with Ron Carter & Billy Cobham – This Is Jazz (Half Note) Billy Hart Quartet – One is the Other (ECM) Pablo Held – Elders (Pirouet) Frank Kimbrough – Solstice (Pirouet) Dave Liebman Group: Expansions – Live (Whaling City Sound) Joe Lovano Us Five – Bird Songs (Blue Note) Jason Moran – Ten (Blue Note) Bill O'Connell + the Latin Jazz All Stars – Zócalo (Savant) Chico O'Farrill & the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra – 40 Acres and a Burro (Zoho) Enrico Pieranunzi with Scott Colley & Antonio Sanchez – Permutation (CamJazz) Alfredo Rodriguez – The Invasion Parade (Mack Avenue) Martial Solal – My One and Only Love: Live at Theater Gütersloh (Intuition) Wayne Shorter Quartet – Without a Net (Blue Note) Steve Turre – Delicious and Delightful (HighNote) Mads Vinding, Jean-Michel Pilc, Billy Hart – Open Minds (Storyville) Kenny Werner – The Melody (Pirouet) Larry Willis – This Time the Dream's On Me (HighNote)

The Bucks are for real. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they won the East. Budenholzer is a great coach. But I guess it remains to be seen whether he can get a team "over the hump" and win a championship. I say that as a Hawks fan who really enjoyed watching him coach our team.

Such an superb band. ... I realize that this band is an extension of the piano-less concept that Mulligan worked out in his famous PJ quartet recordings with Chet Baker. But, compared to those recordings, I'd rather listen to the CJB any day of the week. There's so much more timbral variety here.

Disc 1 - originally released as Un Poco Loco

chewy, I have no idea why they remastered the music, but I'd always assumed that the later repressing with different covers were just cost-saving efforts on the part of the record label. The early CTI pressings all had gatefold covers with super-thick cardboard sleeves. Subsequent repressings/reissues didn't have gatefold covers and the cardstock for the covers was no heavier than standard releases. As I said though, the cost-savings thing is just an assumption on my part.

Charlie Barnet - CB: Volume 1 (RCA Vintage Series) First spin of an LP I plucked from a dollar bin not too long ago. Enjoying it! The only place that I've seen Milton Suggs' name before was on Mary Lou Williams' Zoning.

Terrible, terrible news. So sad to hear this. EDIT: Juris obit on WBGO, written by Nate Chinen.

Best wishes in the New Year to everyone.

Will look into that. Thanks for the suggestion, sp. EDIT: Done! Yeah!

Thanks Jim. I think it's going to be a fun project. I don't think I've ever seen this one before. Thanks for the heads-up, Peter.

NP: The Michael Garrick Sextet - The Heart is a Lotus (Argo/Vocalion) This album represents the first entry in my year-long blog project dedicated to jazz in the 1970s. My goal is to post one album per day for the entire year. To see the first write-up, click here. Happy New Year!

Anthony Davis, James Newton, Abdul Wadud ‎– Trio² (Gramavision, 1989) So beautiful.

I'm neither a Bruckner expert nor a particular fan of Klemperer, but I think that's an outstanding recording. FWIW. Thanks for this, Larry. I've never heard Pfitzner's "Palestrina" -- I'm not much of an opera person -- but your write up makes me want to hear it.

Shamek Farrah is a name that's completely new to me. I'm listening to this music now via YT. Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up, Pim.

More RRK.
