Sax trios are cool.

Oscar Peterson Jam: Montreux '77 (Pablo)

Disc 4 - Wagner: Selections from his Operas

Now dipping into this set: Tureck's approach to Bach's WTC couldn't be any more different than Gulda's. It's like they're on different planets. But I love them both.

I've been enjoying these Peterson/Grappelli collaborations lately:

Following your lead, @T.D., with this Horace Tapscott:

First listen. Just arrived in the mail from nessa.com. Thanks to the forum members who recommended this.

Gotcha. Thanks.

I really like that one. Bobo Stenson !!!

Thanks! soulpope - You're referring to the tributes on Soul Note -- Regeneration and Change of Season ??? Or are you talking about something else?

LOL !!!

I like how they mix musical elements together so indiscriminately -- the whole kitchen sink -- but it somehow coheres. Like a surreal three-ring circus. I don't know Incipient ICP. Should I check it out? Yes. Hard to go wrong with Kikuchi, imo -- especially in early-70s. Carter's magnum opus. Which entry in the series is your favorite, Jim? On most days, I think I'd choose Fields. But they're all terrific.

Now: ICP Tentet - Tetterettet (ICP/Corbett vs. Dempsey) Earlier this morning: Masabumi Kikuchi Quintet - End for the Beginning (Philips/Universal JP)

Yes! It is!

Now playing: Hampton Hawes - The Two Sides of Hampton Hawes (JAS, 2 LPs) LP 1 - Originally released as High in the Sky featuring Leroy Vinnegar with Donald Bailey (Vault, 1970)

Now this: Bunky Green - Places We've Never Been (Vanguard, 1979) Alto Saxophone – Bunky Green Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Randy Brecker Piano – Albert Dailey, Bunky Green (trk: B1), Ronald Kubelik (trk: B2) Bass – Eddie Gomez Drums – Freddie Waits Terrific.

Now spinning: Warren Vaché - Polished Brass (Concord, 1979) Top-shelf swing revivalism. Having Cal Collins' guitar as the primary chordal instrument -- instead of a piano -- works very well, giving the music plenty of air. Vaché's cornet (and occasional flugelhorn) is front-and-center, and he makes some lovely sounds. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4

More big band Diz:

Now spinning: Dizzy in front of a big band is always exciting. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

and Two masterpieces by Irene Kral.

Yes! Exactly.

As ever with Stoki, these readings offer maximum COLOR and maximum DRAMA. Wondrous music-making.

Thank you for that info.
