Thelonious Monk - Live at the Jazz Workshop: Complete (Sony)

Andrew Hill - Live at Montreux (Arista Freedom)

Thanks for sharing those reviews, Larry. Great writing -- and right on the money!

Al Cohn - No Problem (Xanadu) with Barry Harris, Steve Gilmore and Walter Bolden To my ears, Al Cohn never sounded better than he did in the late 70s on the records he made for Xanadu. You'd be hard pressed to top Cohn's run of three Xanadu quartet records with Barry Harris and the duo record with Jimmy Rowles. That's one helluva purple patch.

Conte Candoli & Frank Rosolino - Conversation (RCA) Ricky Ford - Loxodonta Africana (New World)

I'm going to see them at the Ferst Center here in Atlanta on Saturday night (04/15). Looking forward to it!

Yep. Those two guys can do ANYTHING.

Arnett Cobb Is Back (Progressive)

Beaver Harris 360 Degree Music Experience - Beautiful Africa (Soul Note)

Ricky Ford - American-African Blues (Candid) With Jaki Byard, Milt Hinton, and Ben Riley. Ricky Ford's best record, imho.

Quincy Jones & His Orchestra - The Quintessence (Impulse)

Kenny Burrell - Stormy Monday (Fantasy) Prompted by Jim's KB post above. The Red Mitchell - Harold Land Quintet - Hear Ye! (Atlantic) Harold Land sounds so good on this one.

David Friedman - Shades of Change (Enja) with Geri Allen, Anthony Cox & Ronnie Burrage

Charlie Haden & Kenny Barron - Night and the City (Verve) Intensely mellow.

Marian McPartland - Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 9 (Concord)

NP: Frank Kimbrough Trio - Quickening (OmniTone) with Ben Allison & Jeff Ballard

If you like Wilson's music, then I think you'd really enjoy it. It's fun hearing his big-band compositions re-imagined in a small-group context.

Mike Wofford - Plays Gerald Wilson: "Gerald's People" (Discovery) with Rufus Reid (b), Carl Burnett (d), and Richie Gajate Garcia (congas)
