John McNeil Quintet - Faun (SteepleChase)

Thanks for the reminder, Ken!

I don't think so. I'm listening to this again: Stephane Grappelli Meets Earl Hines (Black Lion)

alankin - The music on Live at the New School Volume Two was recorded in 1974, one year after the first Live at the New School LP, which was recorded in 1973. They're entirely different concerts. Until recently, I'd also assumed that the music on Vol. 2 was from the same concert as Vol. 1. But that isn't the case. See the different tracklists below: Live at the New School ("Volume 1," CD version) 1 As Long As I Live 2 The Talk of the Town 3 Spoken Announcement 4 Fats Waller Medley 5 I've Got The World on a String 6 International Medley: Canadian Sunset / Lullaby Of Birdland / A Night In Trinadad 7 Satin Doll 8 West Side Story Medley: I Feel Pretty / Maria / America / There's A Place For Us / Tonight 9 Medley: When The Saints Go Marchin' In / Along The Santa Fe Trail / Perdido 10 Boogie Woogie on St. Louis Blues Live at the New School, Volume Two (LP) A1 Japanese Sandman A2 Blue Skies A3 Slaughter on 10th Avenue B1 Medley: Sweet Lorraine / The Girl From Ipanema / Bluesette / A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody / Tea For Two B2 Earl Hines Medley: My Monday Date / You Can Depend On Me / Caution Blues / Rosetta

John McNeil Quintet - Embarkation (SteepleChase) Terrific band. Terrific music.

Earl Hines - Live at the New School, Volume Two (Chiaroscuro) To my knowledge, this LP hasn't ever been reissued in any digital format. I wonder why. It's not because the music is sub-standard! David Friedman - Winter Love, April Joy (East Wind / Inner City)

Enrico Pieranunzi & Paul Motian with Chris Potter - Doorways (CamJazz) Most of the cuts are piano / drum duos. Potter only sits in on a few tracks. Five stars.

Earl Hines - Tour de Force (Black Lion)

Gheorghe and Big Beat Steve: Thank you for those Tadd Dameron & 1970s jazz reminiscences.

Beaver Harris 360 Degree Music Experience - Beautiful Africa (Soul Note) Harris' and Cameron Brown's superb rhythm work makes this one special. (Not that the front line needs to make any excuses. ) Freddie Redd - With Due Respect (SteepleChase) Thanks Ken!

Shirley Horn Trio - A Lazy Afternoon (SteepleChase)

Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (Impulse)

Fantastic. NP: Duke Ellington - The Great Paris Concert (Atlantic) I love this recording. It appears that Kenny Burrell does too.

Earl Hines Plays Duke Ellington (New World) Disc 1

Powerful music. I'm still digging the "Fatha": Earl Hines in New Orleans (Chiaroscuro)

More Fatha Hines: Earl Hines Plays George Gershwin (Classic Jazz)

I've spent the last few hours listening to Earl Hines. Four Jazz Giants (Solo Art) All three of these tributes are excellent. Today, I particularly enjoyed the Satchmo tracks. Stephane Grappelli Meets Earl Hines (Black Lion) Wonderfully relaxed duets, full of feeling. Check out their version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Phew! Good!

Willis Jackson - Headed and Gutted (Muse) As good as you'd expect (and then some), given the quality of this band.

Horace Parlan Quintet - Frank-ly Speaking (SteepleChase) This record is relatively new to me, but it's quickly become a favorite. Strozier's alto and Foster's tenor sound great together, and the hot rhythm section keeps the fires burning. Amen to that! BTW: Thanks for the heads-up on this particular recording. I wasn't aware of it. Looks like one I should check out.

Matt Wilson's Arts & Crafts - The Scenic Route (Palmetto) Franco Ambrosetti - Wings (Enja)

Another newly-arrived disc : Enrico Pieranunzi Trio - New Lands (Timeless) with Marc Johnson & Joey Baron

Good stuff! I just got a package from CD Japan, and this was one of the discs in the box: David Friedman - Futures Passed (Enja / Solid)

Terell Stafford - This Side of Strayhorn (MaxJazz)

MONK. Great.
