kh1958

Art Blakey, One Night at Birdland Vol. 1 IBlue Note, W. 63rd), and Miles Davis, Round About Midnight (Columbia two eyes)

This kora recording is rather stunning--Madou Sidiki Diabate, Live in India at the Amarrass Desert Music Festival http://www.amazon.com/Live-India-Madou-Sidiki-Diabate/dp/B008ZDCIXQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1376659133&sr=1-3&keywords=amarrass

Tonight, listening to the second set by Logan Richardson's group.

The forum link was moved to the most inconspicuous place possible on their site a good while ago--the bottom lower left corner in tiny font. I wondered if that was the first step toward getting rid of it.

Catching the second set by Ari Hoenig: Shai Maestro - Piano Johannes Weidenmuller - Bass Ari Hoenig - Drums

Bud Powell (Roost) (Nippon Columbia reissue).

It's late Saturday night, and the wonderful Stacey Dillard's Brooklyn Circle, a trio tonight, is performing.

Have a great birthday!

I heard him play once in Austin, around 1982.

A rare ten LP haul: Two Riverside Monks, Five by Monk by Five and Monk in Italy. Sonny Rollins, Freedom Suite (Riverside, Japanese Victor). An Emarcy, Max Roach on the Chicago Scene. Four Verves, Lee Konitz Tranquility and Very Cool (Trumpet label), as well as Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster and Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges. On Columbia, Sidney Bechet (six eyes). On Muse, Dave Schnitter, Glowing.

Thelonious Monk, Five by Monk by Five (Riverside Mono)

Is the CD version being discussed the 2004 Verve double CD release? It seems perfectly fine to me. Most if not all of the other European concert recordings by this group are sonically inferior to this concert recording.

The recording is mono.

Nice group tonight, playing McCoy Tyner compositions: The Gerry Gibbs Sextet 10:00 PM to 12:30 AM Mark Feldman - Violin Steve Wilson - Alto Sax Robin Eubanks - Trombone Benito Gonzalez - Piano Essiet Essiet - Bass Gerry Gibbs - Drums

Tyree Glenn at the Embers (Roulette)

I don't think I've ever noticed High Note/Savants on cdbaby. I usually order their CDs from jazzdepot.com. The CDbaby search engine is absolutely terrible. If you are searching for a specific artist or label, there are always lots and lots of irrelevent hits, and the ones you are actually looking for are buried among the unwanted ones. On first listen, the Shelley Carroll/Marchel Ivery tracks are all excellent. There are also three tracks with a vocalist who's not really my preferred style, but otherwise, it sounded rather good to me.

A new CD from Shelley Carroll, I Heard That, features Marchel Ivery on 8 of the 11 tracks. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/shelleycarrol4

Very nice group; I hadn't heard Juini Booth since McCoy Tyner's Song of the New World/Atlantis/Enlightenment. Also, Eric McPherson on drums.

Missed that but I'm going to to listen to some of the Jason Lindner trio, since Juini Booth is on bass.

At present, the video is still not real sharp; the sound is quite excellent now. You can turn it up loud and it's pretty much you are there sound quality.

Live video of all sets from the club is still currently $5 a month. Occasional nights are free.

Great Big Band and Friends, Harry Arnold Orchestra with Coleman Hawkins, Lucky Thompson, Benny Bailey, Nat Adderley and Toots Thieleman (Jazzland, black label stereo), and Marion Brown, Geechee Reollections (Impulse, black label)

I'm really enjoying the Stacey Dillard set tonight, also including Tivon Penicott.

Gary McFarland & Co.--Tijuana Jazz (Impulse)

This is the only group I've had time to catch this week; it was indeed a fine one.
