Who's the baritone saxophonist? Looks like Al Cohn's cousin.

Definitely should have been in a Bond film.

Never has 3:06 felt so long. Good choice.

Still not on CD Japan's site. Maybe they're not going to carry these particular titles. Dusty Groove wins!

Anyone here have this Giuffre recording? It looks like a bootleg, but it's actually a release on Francesco Fini's small FINI JAZZ label. I believe it's the only recording where you can hear Giuffre's composition "Princess." Sound is acceptable for a live recording. The woman on the cover is Fini's mother! Nobody knew she was hiding out in the bell of Giuffre's clarinet.

You might like Rediscovered Masters, Vol. 1. More Barreto there. Garland possessed the same knack as Sonny Rollins for transforming kitschy melodies ("The Five O'Clock Whistle") into platforms for swing.

The second half of the (double) album posted above contains Monk covers. I haven't really investigated it yet. That's a good answer!

And who says that improvising without chord changes serves no purpose!

I don't actually know. All I know is that they rehearsed together as a group at Giuffre's home circa 1966.

This album is kicking my ass. Still haven't gotten to the Thelonious section. If you were like me all these years, DON'T be. This is a great album.

That looks pretty good.

Extraction, meaning, how to extract your (gossipy) neighbor from your Thursday afternoon tea social. Amen.

Same. I used to play "Fire Waltz" on repeat my senior year in college until the neighbors upstairs (politely) asked me to stop.

I noticed that too. The expression of pathos on Bud's face throughout the film is powerful. At times it chokes me up.

Wow. Didn't know that. I looked for it on YouTube, but came up empty. I did find this, which I'd watched once many years ago and then forgotten about: Love Dexter's voice ...

Looks like a good machine! My Rotel is still going strong, but I've bookmarked this as something to look at down the road.

Nice! I saw that Sons Of Kemet release at Dusty Groove too ... but am currently trying to practice restraint. ("Trying.")

Ah, that makes sense — if even just from a graphic design layout. The trident cover has some uneasy blank space at the top.

Available now at Dusty Groove.

Whoa, didn't know it was his birthday! And, yes, how could that cover NOT hook someone? Cover art aside, it's a really good record. Red swings effortlessly. How so?

Yes. I don't have that set, but that's probably the one to have. I wonder how its sound (transfer/mix/remaster) compares to the ECM set. I've never heard those piano/bass duets from Bremen.

Lots of previous discussion here ...

I just caved and pre-ordered ...
