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.

Jaki Byard - The Jaki Byard Experience (Prestige, 1968) with Roland Kirk, Richard Davis & Alan Dawson

I've never seen it before either, HBJ. I would suspect that it's likely a re-packaging of an existing recording. Let us know what you discover!

More Rahsaan: Some INCREDIBLE music here, but -- using lingo from the time when it was recorded -- I gotta say this CD title is jive.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Prepare Thyself To Deal With A Miracle (Atlantic)

Let's hope Lee keeps going strong for years to come!

I've never seen that one before. What do you think of it, Peter?

Marian McPartland - Plays the Music of Mary Lou Williams (Concord) Bobby Avey - Inhuman Wilderness (InnerVoiceJazz)

Marian McPartland - From This Moment On (Concord) Trio with Brian Torff & Jake Hanna
