This is a big shock. He was playing fantastically well at that Strata East London concert several years ago (2016?) and looked in good shape then. RIP, a great talent and a very nice guy by all accounts. His ‘Maybeck’ is one of my favourites in that series. Superb.

Mono NY USA

These old Vogue Jazz Doubles are great !

My ‘local’ is open. Masks required, maximum of 6 in store at any one time. Seems to be working OK.

Bah, humbug..

Don’t recall Ari Brown being flagged up as a particular board favourite - but I guess I missed the threads concerned. Interesting !

Bill Barron..George Adams...Tyrone Washington...Odean Pope... It has a ‘Muse’ sound to it, wouldn’t be Kenny Barron on electric piano would it?

Is it Billy Harper on tenor on that first track?

‘Cornbread’

Soul Brother 2LP of Eddie’s Capitol/Blue Notes.

According to the Hoff Board - Blue Note, Zev Feldman production, not a Tone Poet issue.

Back on deck with this superb 2LP set.. Never thought I’d hear a great jazz version of ‘Arthur’s Song’ by Christopher Cross !

With Acrobat, some of their releases are significant on any format and would otherwise be unavailable. I’m thinking here of their live Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott and Dick Morrisey/Lennie Best releases. Shame really.

Picked that box up here in the UK from Fopp for about £10 ! Part of the big Fantasy CD offload.

There will be a 300 page thread on the Hoffmann Forum about this one..

Got that one some where.

It is a show called ‘Jazz Unlimited’ - there are a few 1953 shows on the site. In surprisingly OK sound for paper based tape. The one I was listening to featured new releases - one being Art Pepper’s ‘Mucho Calor’. John Kirby featured on one of the other shows. Like time travel. ‘Sauter-Finnegan Orchestra coming up in performance at the Toronto Islands’ !

That Toronto radio show from Nov 1953 on the site is pretty neat - and fascinating.

Ah yeah, you are right. I was thinking of the Turrentine.

Good one.

Probably the same guy that designed the Bill Evans shrapnel receptacle !
