Shifting gears a bit . . .

Stan Getz with Jimmy Raney & Terry Gibbs - Early Stan (Prestige) Recordings from 1949 (with Gibbs) and 1953 (with Raney)

Oh yeah!

A selection of Ellington's 1930's recordings from: Disc 6 Disc 7

Norman Blake - Fields of November (Flying Fish) CD also includes the complete LP Old and New

I'd give it a solid thumbs up. Bonner's playing & compositions are compelling, surprisingly lyrical. Plus, the rhythm work from Dyani & Higgins is as good as you'd expect from those two masters. NP:

Today's listening has included: Disc 5 LP 2 - originally released as George Shearing & the Montgomery Brothers

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound (Atlantic, 1973)

Chico Freeman / Arthur Blythe - Luminous (Ronnie Scott's Jazz House) with John Hicks, Donald Pate and Victor Jones Enrico Pieranunzi - Untold Story (EGEA; originally released on IDA) with Marc Johnson and Paul Motian

Gorgeous music, all composed by Pieranunzi. Reminiscent of Brahms' Clarinet Trios. One of the best "Great Jazz Trio" recordings, IMO.

James Williams with Ray Brown & Art Blakey - Magical Trio 1 (Emarcy)

To everyone who celebrates the holiday: MERRY CHRISTMAS! To everyone: Peace on Earth, and Good Will to All!

Yes! I only got En Solo recently. I didn't realize that it had been reissued on CD by BMG France. I got lucky and snagged it off eBay from a UK seller. OTOH, I've known Sans Tambour Ni Trompette for many years. When I was first discovering Solal, I found it on Italian vinyl in the "I Grandi Del Jazz" series. Very interesting music, IMO.

Barney Kessel - Kessel Plays Standards (Contemporary/OJC) Wonderful.
