kh1958

I was wondering the same thing--is it a 3 disc set?

They do say on their website that there are two or three months to go with Running Low. The time to panic will be in July or August, or when it moves to Last Chance, if sooner.

I saw the Miles Davis appearance also. I liked it and was inspired to buy my first jazz record--Miles Davis In Concert. Unfortunately, I greatly preferred the TV performance to this record, which completely befuddled me. A year or so later I tried again and bought the much more satisfying Basic Miles.

I saw him at Birdland last October--he was playing with his organ trio. I thought he was in excellent form--I really enjoyed the two sets I heard.

Thanks.

I'd appreciate any recommendations of her best recordings, as the relatively few that I've heard mostly haven't been very appealing, to my tastes anyway, not matching her towering reputation.

Perhaps because Joyce and Gal Costa both have better voices.

'Sugar' and 'Red Clay' are maybe THE two CTI albums of all time. They are of their era, but very enjoyable. Yes, I wore those two LPs out when I first started to listen to jazz back in the 1970s. Sugar is the better overall album, as I like the whole record; as for Red Clay, I just like the title cut, but what a title cut.

Stanley Turrentine's CTI album Sugar also has some fine Freddie Hubbard.

I found these LPs today-- On Limelight-- Dizzy Gillespie, The New Continent, and Art Blakey, Buttercorn Lady. On Prestige-- Mose Allison, Creek Bank (Prestige 7152). On Blue Note (Liberty era)-- Wayne Shorter, Moto Grosso Feio Also, Cat Anderson and the Ellington All Stars, Ellingtonia, on Wynne Records, and Woody Herman, 1964, on Phillips. On CD, The RCA Victor Jazz Workshop, the Arrangers.

You Don't Know What Love Is has long been my favorite jazz flute performance. I'm also partial to the two alto songs on the LP-Miss Ann and The Madrig Speaks, the Panther Walks.

The Healer is a nice recording, I like it. There's another fine duet with Jon Jang.

Pete Jolly Trio and Friends--Little Bird (Ava)

A plug for two DIW Ronald Shannon Jackson's--What Spirit Say and Shannon's House. What Spirit Say features James Carter (one of his best recorded appearances) and guitarist Jef Lee Johnson. A top notch Decoding Society recording. Shannon's House--A bit different, as it features two DFW area musicians (in addition to the fine guitarist Jef Lee Johnson), Rachella Parks (a soulful, gospel tinged saxophonist) and keyboardist Thomas Reese. This one really grew on me over time--it's over ten years old now and Shannon Jackson has not released a new recording as a leader since this one.

I was going to attend, but talk about bad timing--coinciding with torrential rains, hail and high winds bearing down on the city. I'm afraid I just went straight home.

He was obviously a fine and versatile artist--just not entirely my cup of tea.

Are you referring to the 1940 recording Tatum made on Decca--by coincidence this popped up on my ipod yesterday--an amazing performance.

I don't think he's still married to the beautiful woman on some of his covers.

I saw him several times in the 1980s and found him to be okay, definitely not great.

I can't imagine that anyone who has seen Buddy live at a peak performance would agree with that conclusion. A Man and the Blues is a weak Buddy Guy performance, and an excellent Otis Spann performance. Hoodoo Man Blues is a classic Junior Wells album, with Buddy Guy performing ably in a suporting role.

Bob Stewart is on tuba on most of Arthur Blythe's recordings on Columbia--including Lenox Avenue Breakdown, Elaborations, Illusions, and Blythe Spirit.

Cadence has 48 DIW titles for sale on its website--most are $16.

For Barbeque, I recommend Rudy's on I-35 in Denton. I'm not a fan of Sammy's. I worked nearby for about five years and would be perfectly happy to never go there again. For Tex-Mex, a few suggestions would be R.J.'s in the West End, Blue Goose on Lower Greenville, Matt's by the Lakewood Theater, or Rafa's on Lovers Lane and the Tollway.

I assume Charnett Moffett. Morganized's description does not sound like Charnett. According to McCoy's website: McCoy Tyner Trio Curtis Lundy, bass Eric Kamau Gravatt, drums

One might infer that all of these listings from the Jazz Record Center are from Leonard Feather's personal collection, and that he basically only listened to the records once or twice.
