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.

More Kenny Barron:

I'm listening to Disc 1 from this set: Miles Davis - The Complete Concert 1964: My Funny Valentine + Four & More (Columbia) I think this concert was one of George Coleman's finest hours.

Sorry to hear that he's gone. He was one of the best. R.I.P.

Superb! Joe Henderson - Power to the People (Milestone)

Bobby Avey - Inhuman Wilderness (innerVoiceJazz, 2016) with Thomson Kneeland (b), Jordan Perlson (d), and John O'Gallagher (as, on tracks 2, 3, 6, 8) Avey has released (I think) four CDs so far, and I've heard three of them. This newest one is his best so far, imho. (And they've all been good.) But this one is REALLY good. If pianists like Richie Beirach or Russ Lossing or Marc Copland (who's the executive producer on this record) appeal to you, you might want to look into Avey.
