kh1958

Christian Scott's band was: Lawrence Fields on piano/keyboards, Chris Farnin on acoustic bass, Steven Gladney on tenor sax, Dominic Minicks on guitar, Joe Dyson on drums, Corey Fandel on drums, Braxton Cook on tenor sax.

There's no listing but the band is verbally introduced on the CD (most were introduced as band members for varying periods)--all unfamiliar names to me--but I'll listen later and get back to you.

Have a Happy Birthday!!!

They are not suspect recordings (though they are CDRs, so downloading might be preferred), they are authorized releases openly sold at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival; in fact, there usually is a sign at the performance announcing when they are recording. They do not record all the performances; I would expect it depends on whether the artist wants the recording made or not. I posted this one because it's a performance by Christian Scott that I attended there this year, and I've listened to this recording quite a bit--it is rather good.

Possibly, I used to watch that show sometimes.

It was Miles Davis on TV, circa 1973--I don't recall the show, but it was out there electric Miles.

I received the same email but was postponing actually doing anything until the weekend.

Tyrone Washington, Natural Essence ( Blue Note)

I liked him with Miles Davis years ago; mostly I didn't pay attention until at the 2015 New Orleans Jazz Fest, I heard the super-cool sequence of Vieux Farka Toure followed by Cassandra Wilson followed by Kenny Garrett--his set was really fantastic.

Jimmy Neeley Trio (Tru Sound/Prestige)

The Soul Note material is five albums by two different groups. Gentleman's Agreement and Hand to Hand are by a quintet with Jimmy Knepper and George Adams in the front line, a unique pairing that I really enjoy, Hugh Lawson on piano (very good and not much recorded) and Dannie Richmond on drums. Two excellent albums in my opinion. The other three albums are by the Adams/Pullen quartet. Don't Lose Control is a fine studio album), and then there are the two Village Vanguard live recordings. I haven't listened to the latter two in a while, but my recollection is that the recording engineer botched the session and failed to capture the group well enough, though the performance is quite good. So basically it's three recommended albums, and two with reservations about the sound but not the performance quality. Or you can get the two Blue Notes (Breakthrough and Song Everlasting) or any of the Timeless recordings with Pullen (Decisions, City Gates, Earth Beams, Life Line, or Melodic Excursions) (except I don't care for the one with John Scofield). It's all of comparable quality. For other Adams without Pullen, also good are Old Feeling (Blue Note) and Paradise Space Shuttle (Timeless).

Freddie Redd, The Connection (Blue Note mono W. 63rd), Ben Allison, Quiet Revolution, and Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Trans Whistle (Prestige). The Freddie Redd Connection is in terrible appearing condition, and was found misfiled n a MJQ LP cover, with no matching cover. Somehow, it still sounds pretty good, if noisy, played loud.
