Had this for a LONG time, but never listened to it much. Threw it on the other day and realized that it's basically a Kip Hanrahan album - he produced it. Lots of Hanrahan-ish touches all the way through. Good stuff!
Just skimmed through it once, so far. Definitely want to see as many Threadgills as possible. Tomeka, for sure. Lots of conflicts on Thursday, but Fri-Sun seemed a little more manageable.
Looks to be a very satisfying year at BE.
I sure wish someone would re-issue the entire Muse catalog. So much great music is sitting in someone's vault gathering dust, when it should be out in the market. Would probably do very well in the Vinyl Community, too.
Not exactly related, but I always liked this box. It's basically made up of Orrin Keepnews favorite jazz tunes from his Riverside years. Each disk is arranged with a different theme.
Big fan of Leventhal - both as a player and producer. His productions have a certain quiet edge to them that are always interesting. Especially with his wife, Rosanne and also Shawn Colvin and the album he did with Sarah Jarosz.
Did Leventhal do anything from his new album?
Saw Johnathan Blake on Sunday w/Dayna Stephens, Dezron Douglas, Jalen Baker and Fabian Almazan. It was one long suite he calls "My Life Matters". Good show - lots of interesting passages
