Late

Summer Night What a gorgeous little gem, slightly lost in the mix of the Seven Steps sessions, and then placed on Quiet Nights, seemingly to fill up space.

What album was released, circa 1971-72, in the stores after Live Evil? Was it Get Up With It?

I just realized that I need to spin Black Beauty far more.

Warm Tenor I'm now on a Zoot-Pablo marathon. Zoot The Elder lays down the wisdom.

I call, but then realize I only have a Bing Crosby in my hand. Should've bluffed.

From the Live Evil party, I want to travel down the block and then enter a different residence and party, this one playing Dark Magus.

That sounds good. I want to agree with Miles Davis too.

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up. It looks like it was even on compact disc at one time. Live At The Village Gate Actually, there are some similarities, musically, between Sivuca and Hermeto!

I'm in agreement with the sentiment that Zoot Sims recorded some of his finest playing—perhaps his most creative improvisations—for Pablo. I think in the Pablo records you're hearing Zoot as he wanted to be heard.

I don't have any Sivuca albums. I've been listening to some on YouTube though. Right now, I'm taken with the early Barclay records. I wish I had this particular disc. Recommendations for further exploration? (And anyone else sometimes mistakenly confuse Sivuca with Hermeto?)

(Now I wonder what cocktail TTK would recommend for such a party.)

Some day, I want to attend a party where Live Evil is played in full on the hi-fi. Cocktails preferred, but optional.

Lee Morgan is a cloven-hoofed Dionysus.

The Song Is You

That is a thought that lingers in one's mind. So many people receive attention only after they're gone.

Listening to the February 15, 1957 "Arthur Phipps Session" right now. The ballads are perhaps the highlight. Jackie's Prestige work ages well, contrary to conventional wisdom.

Strange Blues

Montreux Afterglow Hot Menu

I don't know what streaming service, or satellite radio, my local grocery store subscribes to, but it has been playing a lot of Blue Note titles in the last year or so. Today, while standing in the bulk section, I heard "Good Old Soul" from True Blue and "Somethin' Special" from Leapin' & Lopin'. I knew the track from the Sonny Clark album right away, but it took me a while to place the Tina Brooks album—I kept thinking I was hearing something from a Freddie Hubbard album. Any other grocers spinning Blue Notes? I wonder if my store will eventually get to Conquistador. Probably not.

The 1972 Ljublijana date? As long as Resonance keeps issuing live Bill Evans sessions, I hope they some day get to the 1979 Balboa Jazz Club gig. (I always have to remind myself: not Balboa Island in California, but a club named Balboa in Madrid, Spain). Evans' last trio was sensational.

“Jazz music and jazz dancing in schools should be stopped at once,” Baumgartner said during a debate on finances. “I have seen a lot of rough dancing in school auditoriums lately." “What is jazz?” asked board member Percy H. Moise. “I’ve only seen a little bit of it, but it was awful,” replied a third member, Henry C. Schaumburg.

Slated for release on or around April 29. Looking forward to hearing these.

Much agreed. (Emphasis mine.)

There are two other records that I tend to think of as part of some (imagined) trilogy with Orthodox Dub, one of them by Errol Brown: Just as good as Orthodox Dub. ImportCDs still carries it. The other album seems much harder to find. It is: For this type of music, at least in my limited exposure, it doesn't get much better. p.s. I love this song. Had Ranglin been on, say, Blue Note ... well ... what a player.

Haven't spun this in probably 15 years. Yikes! Spinning it now. Always better than I think.
