Lots of Kenny singing. . . perhaps not everyone’s cup of tea, but his playing here is worth the listening indeed.

Up early again. . . and it’s not as cool as I’d like it to be.
Haven’t spun any of the Herbie Nichols Project releases in a long spell. Overdue!
This one may be my favorite.
Herbie Nichols Project “Strange City”
Doug Watkins "Watkins At Large” Transition/TOCJ “RVG Special Edition” 24 Bit remastered lp facsimile paper sleeve edition
What a group, and this sounds great.
Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Kenny Burrell, Duke Jordan, Doug Watkins, Art Taylor
Enjoying another cool morning–got to sleep in a bit more as well, a good thing.
Starting off with Marcos Ariel “Alone with Jobim,” a great solo piano disc.
Gary Peacock Trio “Eastward” Sony HiFiCD
Gary Peacock (bass) Masaaki Kikuchi (piano) Hiroshi Murakami (drums)
Man, he was a master player and a deep musical mind. And this is a very interesting recording. In the Keith Jarrett Trio “exploratory mode” tradition.

“Introducing Millie Vernon” Storyville/Muzak Japan cd
I’d never heard of Vernon, but with this band and as it’s one of the superb reissues from Muzak Japan. . . I tried it out.
She reminds me of June Christy and Chris Connor. But with a different sense of swing and feel. Nice record!

Yes, I can say the same thing. . . saw Mayall with Mitchell at the University of Chicago for a television show taping. Also on the bill was the Ohio Players, another band I enjoy.
