Albert Ayler: Witches & Devils.

I can imagine he is sitting right now with Mal Waldron somewhere in the sky and they are playing together some Monk's compositions. I think I'll go to listen to this album:

I was wondering what is the correct pronunciation of Renee Rosnes. I found this on wikipedia: Her first name's pronunciation is a derivative of Irene ("ree-nee"), rather than the common pronunciation of Renee (i.e. not as "re-nay").

Any opinion on this one??? A trio recording with Lewis Nash & Peter Washington.

My condolences, Kevin. I've lost my father 27 years ago and as time goes by I miss him more and more.

Yes, you can see her ugly soul there! Yes Agustín, I always knew you understand me...

Happy birthday to you! I always enjoy reading your posts.

RIP Mr. Thompson.

In June 2000 I had the pleasure to see Charlie Haden. I was in NYC and he played in the Battery Park together with Ornette Coleman and Billy Higgins. Only Don Cherry was missing there. I think it was one of Higgins' last live performances before his health started to rapidly deteriorate.

Thanks Tony. I really appreciate your concern.

Charlie Haden is one of my most favorite bassist in the jazz history. I think nobody will be surprised if I'll tell you that I prefer his earlier recordings, even as a sideman, over the later ones. His recordings with Ornette Coleman and with Keith Jarrett can't be compared to Beyond The Missouri Sky for example or to The Art of the Song. Among his recordings as a leader, The Montreal Tapes and the several duets he recorded are my favorite. During the last week I found the time (as you can imagine, between one news report to another...) to listen to all of his Montreal Tapes recordings and I would like to know which one of these recordings is your favorite. My vote goes to Geri Allen & Paul Motian.

Happy birthday Agustín and all the best!!!

To be honest, the reason I bought it is Oscar Peterson but I agree with what have been said about Hamp. This set is a treasure.

This is one of my MD favorite recordings: Hank Mobley, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers & Jimmy Cobb. If you dont have it in your collection, dont hasitate. 20$ for 4 CDs....

Disk #5 of this set: The session in Newport jazz festival (with Mulligan) is amazing !!!

All the best!!!

So what is a great football? A defensive game???

Happy 4th!!!
