Dear friends, I failed in all my attempts to purcahse this disk. So if one of you has this disk (in a good shape) and he is ready to trade or sell it, please PM or e-mail me. Thank you in advance.

Ubu, I'm not a vocal jazz fan, but her recording with Mal Waldron is really something you have to listen to.

If you like optical illusion, take a look at this website.

Happy birthday Marcus! And if you need some help with the girls just give me a call

Even if it's a mono recording, the music wins.

Thanks Tom. I really enjoyed it. Disk #2 was great!

New York Reunion is probably one of the best albums I've recently listened to. The combination of Tyner, Foster, Carter and Henderson makes a super group. Henderson sounds great on this session and reminds me the great Henderson of the 60s. According to the AMG Tyner & Henderson have not recorded together for more than 20 years (since The Real McCoy???) until they finally met up for this recording. In general, I like almost everything Tyner recorded, except of the tribute he recorded for Burt Bacharach. I like his solo playing (Echoes of a Friends is one of my favorite solo piano), I like his playing in a trio format (Sahara & Trident for example) and also when he leads a larger ensemble (Sama Layuca). Needless to mention his contribution to Coltrane's quartet and even to the Jazztet before he joined Coltrane. He is a very talented composer and his music and playing inspired many younger musicians. If you listen to Mulgrew Miller for example, Tyner's influences can be easily identified. BTW: Only recently I discovered that Tyner is a Moslem since the age of 18 (he changed his name to Sulaimon Saud). I'm not familiar with everything he recorded for Telarc, but Illumination is also a good one with Gary Bartz and Terence Blachard.

Worth every cent, ubu.

Richard Avedon was one of my favorite also. I like specially his work for Vogue magazine. R.I.P Mr. Avedon.

I agree with every word you wrote

Dave Holland is 58 today. Mr. Holland is one of my favorite musician, he is very creative, very original and I wish him all the best.

Everybody who likes solo playing should listen to his recordings for Soul Note: 4 CDs called The Music I Like to Play, vol 1-4. Very talented playing by Tete.

Evan, Here is a short list of recommended Hicks recordings: John Hicks Beyond Expectations John Hicks in Concert But I think John Hicks is one of these artists who sound much better when they are not the leaders. I find his playing much more impressive when he plays with Murray or Pharoah Sanders. And of course Sketches of Tokyo is one of the "must have" CD's.

I agree with David on the ECMs. All of them (4 if I remember correctly) are very good. Also the Tribut to Lester, which was recorded few years after Bowie's death, is great (also ECM). Tribute to Lester

From djangos: Antonio Hart - All We Need and Art Tatum- God Is in the House.

They probably saw your posts on the babe thread....

RD, IMHO, Jazz in Film & Malcolm X are much better than Romantic Defiance.

What ubu said

Thanks for the tip. I'll look for this one. RD, Don't forget to tell us your ipmpressions.

Another Blanchard recommendation.

Don't understand it either. Same goes for the Tristano / Konitz / Marsh set... The same for Thad Jones ...
