kh1958

The first disc in the collection, except for the first few fragmentary tracks from Billy Berg's, is highly enjoyable, with Bird is clear and pleasing sound. The last three tracks, apparently unreleased, are not the worst Bird recordings released. They are assuredly better than the Lover Man session; in fact, while Bird sounds off, he is also unusually relaxed; I like the three tracks. It's a fine collation of live early bebop tracks, sounding good.

Charlie Parker, Bird in LA (Verve)

Ron Carter, Peg Leg (Milestone) Bill Evans with Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh, Crosscurrents (Fantasy)

They appear to have changed this setting on the Josey records website and have both the CD and the LP sets available. So now you can order online for shipping, as far as I can tell without actually ordering myself.

Dave Holland, Emerald Tears (ECM) Erroll Garner Plays Misty (Mercury)

Anyone looking for a copy, Josey Records in Dallas had multiple copies of the CD and LP sets left at the end of the day. The CD set was only $24. https://www.joseyrecords.com

John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Gateway 2 (ECM)

Hasaan Ibn Ali, Retrospect in Retirement of Delay: The Solo Recordings (Omnivore)

Checking my iTunes library, I seem to have versions by Errol Garner (multiple), Roy Eldridge, Wes Montgomery, Arnett Cobb, Arthur Blythe, Dorothy Ashby, Clark Terry, John Hicks, Hand Crawford, Freddie Hubbard, Buddy Rich, Pharoah Sanders, Ben Webster, Lucky Peterson, and Roderick Paulin.

Joe Farnsworth, City of Sounds (Smoke Sessions)

Yesterday's rare find of a Blue Note in the wild--stereo W, 63rd pressing (for $8).

Finger Poppin' with the Horace Silver Quintet (Blue Note). Keith Jarrett, Staircase (ECM)

Back in the 1980s, Oliver Lake and Jump Up played at the Caravan of Dreams. I didn't care for the group. But, I've also seen him with Trio 3, as a sideman with Malachi Thompson, and with Graham Haynes and Barry Altschul--all very good.

Angel Bat Dawid and the Brotherhood, Live

Bill Evans, Live In Tokyo (Fantasy) Keith Jarrett, Changes (ECM)

Because it's an appealing melody composed and brilliantly performed by the great Erroll Garner?

David Sanchez, Carib (Ropeadope)

Art Farmer, On the Road (Contemporary)

Art Lande and Rubisa Patrol, Desert Marauders (ECM) Bobby Timmons, Sweet and Soulful Sounds (Riverside) Erroll Garner, Campus Concert (MGM) Art Tatum/Roy Eldridge (Clef/British Columbia Jimi Hendrix, Axis Bold as Love (Reprise)

Nicholas Payton, Smoke Sesssions (Smoke Sessions)

There are prior threads on this topic. Unfortunately the most knowledgeable person (Brownie) seldom visits any more.

Bill Evans, Alone (Fantasy) Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced? (Reprise) Nina Simone, A Portrait of Nina (Trip)

In recent years I've heard him three times with Jack DeJohnette and Matt Garrison, once in a duet with David Virelles, and as a guest artist with Brandee Younger. For me, at this point in time he is quite good on the higher pitched horns, soprano and sopranino, and decent on tenor. Somehow his tenor playing seems a bit underpowered.
