Slam Stewart – Slam Stewart Featuring Milt Buckner And Jo Jones

I feel like there should be a thread, similar to the Modern / Avant thread, for discussion of recent releases in whatever genre Crisis Cross, Smoke Sessions, modern Steeplechase, HighNote, Cellar, etc. cater for (i.e. recent hard bop genre work releases; as distinct from 'modern' takes on the bop tradition, the new sorts of hybrid styles, or the current taste for retro-spiritual jazz, that together seem to constitute the current jazz critical mainstream). It's not really my world, but I do find that I enjoy the releases that come up here about or almost as much as I enjoy recent music coming from Jazz's and Improvised Music's other reliable networks / pipelines.

I think it stands up better than its colleagues. It seems quite zany and unpredictable with the distance of time, whereas most of the other 'future jazz' stuff just sounds like wallpaper music now.

Bugge Wesseltoft – New Conception Of Jazz

It's really good. It reminds me of Gil Scott Heron a bit.

Oh okay. I've got an older Cambridge model so not an obvious upgrade I guess. Thanks though. I am quite disappointed with my current sound but lack the space to upgrade my speakers or the cash to justify it at the moment.

What did you go to?

Sarah Webster Fabio – Together To The Tune Of Coltrane's "Equinox"

Has anyone on the board listened to this one? He's not a name that I recognise.

That's a great track.

That's what I thought too. It is a nice read but it barely covers the story! It is part 1 of 6. It is a good email newsletter by the way. Worth subscribing to. I vaguely remember that the writer may already have a connection to Chuck Nessa, so there may be more to come.

Melt Yourself Down – Melt Yourself Down

It's the same record, repackaged under Pablo. Certainly a record that puts the lie to the idea (if it is still held) that Tatum was not a group player.

Thanks!

The Art Tatum / Buddy DeFranco Quartet Is this the same material as the Blue Parrot boot?

I think this is my favourite of his. The arrangements are particularly great on this one.

Walter / Wendy Carlos – Switched-On Bach

Sonora Ponceña – Determination

Janusz Zdunek 4 Syfon – Baterie

Good find!
