Spinning another Walrath LP: Jack Walrath - Demons in Pursuit (Gatemouth)

Jack Walrath with Jimmy Madison & Chip Jackson - Wholly Trinity (Muse) Great fun. A new-to-me LP that's quickly become a favorite.

Andrew Hill - From California with Love (Artists House) Earl Hines in New Orleans (Chiaroscuro)

Jaki Byard - Parisian Solos (Futura)

Gillian - You might want to try "Good Morning Heartache" by Ray Bryant (from Here's Ray Bryant).

Count Basie Encounters Oscar Peterson - "Satch" and "Josh" (Pablo) To this listener, Freddie Green's presence on this LP makes it the most satisfying of the Basie/OP collaborations.

Sorry to hear this sad news. He was a wonderful drummer, and he played on so many special recordings. R.I.P.

More early Sco: John Scofield - Live (Enja) with Richie Beirach, George Mraz & Joe LaBarbera

Last night: Chucho Valdés ‎– Jazz Batá (Malanga) and Piano I (Areito) Today: John Scofield Quartet - Rough House (Enja)

John Scofield - Bar Talk (Novus) with Steve Swallow & Adam Nussbaum Yes!!!

I'm now listening to Joe Newman's Swingville recordings:

No, I didn't know about that one. Thanks for the heads-up, mjzee!

I think that's a great record -- and atypically lyrical since Martino usually likes to burn. Recently, I had a chance to see him live and I brought that very LP for him to sign. When I handed it to him, he looked at me and said, "Ah, I see that you're a romanticist." I just laughed and said, "I guess so... but I love ALL of your music." I only spent a few minutes with Martino, but he seemed like a genuinely kind, friendly person.

Either / Orchestra - The Half-Life of Desire (Accurate)

Ralph Towner - Solstice (ECM)

Chick Corea & Return to Forever - Light as a Feather (Polydor) I love this version of RTF with Joe Farrell, Flora & Airto. IMHO, the subsequent groups weren't nearly as interesting.

James P. Johnson - Giants of Jazz (Time Life) So much vitality in this music.

Joe Bonner Trio - Parade (SteepleChase)

Same here. Now playing: Arthur Blythe - Bush Baby (Adelphi)

Didier Lockwood - Out of the Blue (Gramavision) with Gordon Beck, Cecil McBee, and Billy Hart. Excellent!

Jack Walrath - Holy Trinity (Muse) with Jimmy Madison & Chip Jackson

Spinning some solo piano records this afternoon: John Coates, Jr. - In the Open Space (Omnisound) Al Haig - Piano Interpretation (Seabreeze) Of Lloyd's recordings for Atlantic, that's the one that I return to most frequently.
