Yes, that's also now up for preorder on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/1962-Stockholm-Oslo-Bud-Powell/dp/B097XB8YHT/ref=sr_1_119?dchild=1&qid=1629669534&refinements=p_n_date%3A1249114011&rnid=1249111011&s=music&sr=1-119

Thoughts? Mine should arrive this week.

I recently got this, and thoroughly enjoyed it. R.I.P.

I saw The Clash once, in a Times Square club called Bonds. This was a large space on the second floor of a building, where Bond’s Men’s Clothiers used to be (hence the club’s name). They were booked for a week, but the promoters oversold tickets. The City stopped the concerts, and only allowed them to continue if the band stayed for a second week and the original week’s tickets were split in half, so the show I saw was pretty airy. I wasn’t really into The Clash but thought I’d seize the opportunity to see them and perhaps “get converted;” I wasn’t, though. The Slits opened.

SteepleChase. Muse gets credit for releasing albums from younger artists, but their covers were ugly, there was little promotion behind their releases, and there were too many of them, so most seem undifferentiated. In the '80's, Gramavision or Antilles?

A cousin of mine who's now 91 has used many hearing aids over the years, and hated all of them. This has now changed. He uses Oticons and loves them. They connect via Bluetooth to his iPhone. I can now have an easy, normal conversation with him over the phone, where I couldn't for years. His son paired them with his TV, so he doesn't have his neighbors complaining anymore about the TV volume. I think the iPhone app has different settings, where he can choose how much ambient noise to let in. They're evidently pricey (~ $4,000?) but well worth it.

Close, but I'd say Ray Bryant. Freddie Hubbard or Lee Morgan?

Hank. Bill Frisell or John Abercrombie?

Thanks for the tip. The download is so much cheaper than the CD, and since it was originally recorded on cassette, probably not a lot of fidelity will be lost with the download.

Currently available via download: From the Lyle Mays Estate comes a thirteen-minute "mini symphony" entitled Eberhard-a composition completed by Mays in 2009 and recorded in the months before his passing on Feb 10, 2020 with a large ensemble, including notable jazz names Bob Sheppard, Alex Acuña, & Bill Frisell. While Eberhard is a posthumous release, Mays was engaged in it's creation from beginning to end-serving as composer, arranger, performer (piano, keyboards, and synthesizers), and producer, and was actively involved in all recording and mixing sessions. Eberhard is a long-form, multi-section work that is Lyle's self-professed dedication to the great German bass player and composer Eberhard Weber, an influence that loomed large on Mays and his long-time collaborator Pat Metheny in the forming of their 11-time Grammy-Award winning Pat Metheny Group.

Release date November 15:

Release date October 8: Over the last decade, Taborn has continued to refine and develop his approach of the solo, reaching new high ground with Shadow Plays, a stunning live recital from Vienna's Konzerthaus. In this fully improvised concert, recorded in March 2020, Craig explores sounds and silences, swirling colours, densities and forms, creating new music in the moment with both poetic imagination and an iron grip on his spontaneously generated material.

Release date September 24: Houston Person is the real deal. With a lifetime of experience Houston continues to grace concert stages with his expressive style which stubbornly defies categorization. One moment he is letting loose with some hard-driving swing and the next he is caressing your ears with his mellifluous, baritonal utterances on a beautiful ballad. "I just play good music," explains Houston. "I look for a great melody and great lyrics." Houston's preoccupation with the art of melody is on full display in this live recording captured during his appearance at the Festival Jazz a la Villette in 2019. This is Houston's first live recording in some time and it is quite an unforgettable experience, with the legendary man taking great care in putting just the right set list together for his audience, covering a wide variety of styles drawn from his remarkable career. Having recorded his first album as a leader in 1966 titled Underground Soul, coincidentally also an organ-tenor quartet, Houston Person has been a standard-bearer of so-called "soul jazz," but that is a misnomer in his case. The truth is Houston plays soulful jazz rather than "soul jazz"; music that communicates with the listener and touches the heart. How appropriate it is then, that this live recording originates from Paris, also known as the "City of Love."

Release date November 5: When I think of the phrase it takes a village to raise a child, I often think of my music training and all of the great musicians and people I have come across throughout the years, starting with the great trumpeter Zilner Randolph, who was Louis Armstrong's musical director in the '40s. I was five years old when I met the master, and the piano lessons he gave me were really life lessons - I just did not realize it at the time. The village raising a child soon grew, and I entered high school, where Reginald Willis became my mentor. Because of this, I won a four-year scholarship to Berklee College of Music. Mulgrew Miller and James Williams as well as my peers and other members of the village became my teachers and mentors. Now, living in New York City since '95, I continue to be inspired in this great city by great musicians and great people. One of those great people is Lorraine Tiezzi, who is a real lover of this Black American art form. This album is about saying thank you to all the people in the village who continue to raise that child. Since the pandemic, it has really humbled me in many ways - this is my way of saying thank you. I bring you Lorraine's lullabies Anthony Wonsey New York City May 2021

Release date September 17: Stacey Kent is a jazz singer in the mold of the greats, with a legion of fans worldwide, a host of honors and awards including a Grammy nomination, album sales in excess of 2 Million, Gold, Double-Gold and Platinum-selling albums that have reached a series of No. 1 chart positions during the span of her career. An interpreter of The Great American Song Book and beyond, Kent's music and influences span multiple genres, a testament to her "wandering, restless spirit" as an artist. Her long time songwriting collaborator is Nobel Prize winning author Kazuo Ishiguro.

Can you post some of the playlists here?

Chills.

Very positive review in the Wall Street Journal today.

I liked that. He seems like a really nice guy.

Is that the same as this? (Image found on Dusty Groove, but out of stock):

I was afraid you'd say that.

Nice to see this is being reissued in Japan.

Are any of the Buddy DeFrancos especially good?
