kh1958

I heard him live only once, at the Village Vanguard, with Don Cherry (plus Carlos Ward and a tuba player). From my seat, I could not really see him, as my view was obstructed by the pillar, but he sure sounded great.

That's odd, I've found Import CDs to be excellent--often at or near the best price on amazon, and fast and reliable.

Last night, I caught the very last song performed by Billy Drummond's Quartet, with Jaleel Shaw playing stronger than I've ever heard him play. Tonight, part of a set by the David Schnitter Quartet.

Grand Reunion, which is live at the Village Vanguard, plus with Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge.

Lester Young--The President (Norgran). A very well loved copy that I hesitated to buy, but the wonderful sound mostly overshadows the surface noise. Ornette Coleman--The Empty Foxhole (Blue Note, NY USA label, Liberty cover)

i enjoyed this immensely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that was real good. Her new CD should arrive in the mail any day. that young lady has advanced light years in months. Her tenor sound in person is really gorgeous. i enjoyed this immensely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that was real good.

From one prior experience at Smalls, I can say that her tenor sound in person is really gorgeous. Last time I was in New York in October, I was extremely disappointed that she was out of the country.

Tonight, currently listening to Melissa Aldana on tenor, Gordan Au on trumpet, Joseph LePore on bass, and Francisco Mela on drums. Sounding real nice.

The simple equation to follow is the Brubeck plus Desmond or Mulligan equals something worthwhile.

She posted your photo on twitter and said nice things about you. In addition to being a fantastic musician, she's rather entertaining on twitter. I like her, without actually having met her. twitter or tumblr? I saw the later and was of course flattered by her comments ... I tend to forget to open her tumblr regularly, but I love it as well! (I don't do twitter at all.) Twitter on my iPhone, but probably the same content.

And you brought a box of chocolates.

I enjoy the Listening to 78s thread, even though I don't have a player (but may get one one of these days). I even bought a couple of 78 sets recently, because they were in impeccable condition and at a low price: The Duke, Hot Jazz Classics, set C-38, four 78s of Ellington recordings from the 30s, reissued in the 40s, I think. And a Keystone set, Tenor Jazz (3 78s, Keynote Album 136). I wish I could give them a spin.

I have the three Live in Boston volumes. They have quite good sound. The songs featuring Peter Green are great. The songs featuring the other two guitarists are generally to be skipped.

Freddie Hubbard, The Breaking Point (Blue Note, NY USA stereo) Elvin Jones, Puttin' It Together (Blue Note UA Van Gelder pressing)

Ordered from cdbaby: Melissa Aldana, Second Cycle, and Barbara Dennerlein, Spiritual Movement No. 3

Trudy Pitts, These Blues of Mine (Prestige mono, blue label) Johnny Hammond Smith, Gettin' Up (Prestige stereo, purple label)

Maybe not...he's one of those guys whose energy is its own reward, more than his actual substance. I enjoy/enjoyed it (and very subjectively) in the context of the time/place/social context, he was just more..."jump off the cliff" than what you'd normally find there, but if you didn't feel it the first time, I don't know that there's anything there to change your mind. Or was he recommending Campisi's? http://www.campisis....ockingbird.html

I really enjoyed the additional material from the 1964 Town Hall concert and from the 1965 "My Favorite Quintet" concert. In fact, the additional 1965 material is more interesting than the original album. And short as it is, the 1965 Monterey brass band performance is also great to have in its entirety. And then there is the comment in the booklet that Sue Mingus has 40 reels of Mingus recordings.
