Joey Baron - We'll Soon Find Out (Intuition, 1999) with Arthur Blythe, Ron Carter, Bill Frisell Haven't listened to this one in a LONG time. I don't know why; it's an excellent session. ... Arthur Blythe always brings it.

One of Hawk's very best records, IMO. 5 stars!

Mark Turner, Jeff Ballard, Larry Grenadier - Fly (Savoy)

Mickey Tucker - The Crawl (Muse, 1980)

Well, I think it tells us something about Marsh -- his predilections and preferences -- but nothing about Schoenberg. In that sense, it's not "meaningless." No?

NP:

Earlier: So much humor and joyousness in this music. These are not things that people might normally associate with Braxton. But it's there! Great idea for a trip!

Yes indeed. He sings it in a (sort of) Billy Eckstine style.

Braves vs. Astros in the WS! Not really a prediction. Just what I'm hoping for. 😁

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Plus, it'd be really nice to have it all in digital format for on-the-go listening. OTOH, I already had quite a few Bee Hive LPs. And, since many people unloaded their vinyl after the Mosaic set came out, the LPs that I didn't own have been easier to find and even cheaper than before. (For example, I only paid $2.50 for In High Profile.) In the end, that's why I passed on the Mosaic set. Given all the other stuff on my radar, the $$$-to-value ratio didn't quite work for me. But part of me still pines for it... 😋

Having recently discovered Katz's collaborations with Helen Merrill, I just stumbled across this Beehive LP with him in the sole-leader role. With Frank Wess, Jimmy Knepper and that rhythm section? Um, yes please! One note: Is it just me or does Katz look menacing on the cover, almost like he's channeling his inner Grand Moff Tarkin?
