The Julius Watkins Sextet “Vols. 1 & 2” Blue Note cd

None of these trumps Archie Shepp's "un croque monsieur."

I don't really enjoy Zorn stuff, so haven't heard his with Zorn but I do have and enjoy this Jamie Saft, solo piano material:

Relistening to this one this morning. This one helped me last night ease out of troubled mind from watching news analysis. It’s quite a nice release with some interesting arrangements of Strayhorn material. Planet D Nonet “Salute to Strayhorn” 1000×1000 72.3 KB Followed by Great new cd reissue. Pharoah Sanders “Pharoah” India Navigation cd

Woke up to the sad news and kept watching news all day on and off. My last choice tonight I was seeking for an involving escape. The beauty of the source material and my thoughts drawn into the interesting arrangements and solos did the trick of calming my mind. Planet D Nonet “Salute to Strayhorn”

Yes, this is a great release for a Miles Davis nut.

I've seen it listed but haven't heard it or owned or even seen a copy.

Julian Priester Keep Swingin’ Riverside/OJC cd. Looking at that band lineup you know it’s going to be great, and it is. Julian and Jimmy blend so well together with their rich tones.

It's so much fun re-reading these tales of the B. Cool and Lam Detective Agency, and also cool to be reading a very old paperback.

Another cd and Blu-ray set. . . listening to the cd. Wes Montgomery The NDR Hamburg Studio Recordings" I didn’t know about this release til last week. Sound is excellent as are the performances. Recorded April 30, 1965 (live-recording) at NDR Studio 10, Hamburg, Germany Alto Saxophone – Hans Koller Baritone Saxophone – Ronnie Ross Bass – Michel Gaudry Drums – Ronnie Stephenson Guitar – Wes Montgomery Liner Notes – Michael Laages Piano – Martial Solal Tenor Saxophone – Johnny Griffin, Ronnie Scott The Blu-ray includes another session.

It may well be too early for this music, especially as the new SEWE300B amp has really bloomed lately and is sounding so atmospheric and this music is. . . eerie to say the least, full of resonant spacey effects. But it suits today well enough! Sun Ra & His Intergalactic Solar Arkestra: Space Is The Place (Music From The Original Soundtrack) 2 cd set and also remastered DVD and Blu-ray of the film, now listening to CD 1

Chet Baker “Baby Breeze” Limelight/Verve cd. This one again as I didn’t get to the alternate and additional tracks yesterday. Some great Chet singing here–especially the two tracks just backed by Kenny Burrell. What Kenny could do. . .he was such a master.
