Absolutely. It took Luke a while to get those ii-V-I's down.

A person has to be in possession of the Executive Blu-Ray Director's Cut edition of the series. The Empire Strikes Back adds 42 minutes of Yoda spinning his favorite vinyl in Dagobah. The jedi master was partial to the Tristano school.

Thanks for sharing that video. It made me want to hear more Jeanne Lee!

I forgot that I started a Noto thread 15 years ago. Listening to Act One right now.

Always by memory too!

Big Bras

Truth.

Yes.

Available for pre-order on Amazon. Instead of chocolate rabbits.

Underrated?

My Friend Andamo. I wonder who played bassoon for Mancini.

That is some fine Wilder trumpet! I'd never heard this song; nor had I heard of Talbert. Thanks for posting. Arguably.

The Complete America Session

The Gershwin Brothers Currently.

Thanks for sharing that video, soulpope. My 14 year-old watched it with me! (Her friend plays bass.)

I will have to check that out. Thanks for the heads-up! I don't know Muldrow's later work very well, but that first album—damn! The disjointedness fused with groove ... Nina would've approved.

This album has my favorite version of "In Walked Bud." It was my second Messengers album*, and I've always had a soft spot for it. Johnny Griffin is firing on all cylinders. The version I currently have is the Japanese Atlantic 60th Anniversary edition. Sound is very, very good. It says "stereo" on the mini-LP, but the speakers tell me ... MONO. Monk isn't pushed away from the band. Bill Hardman gets sassy! * First was on Blue Note: At The Cafe Bohemia.

Sixteen years later, and this album is still knocking me out. I haven't caught up with Ms. Muldrow.

1981, Tokyo Bill Evans and Mike Stern I get. Marcus Miller not as much.

I often come back to the Tanglewood performance.
