LF recs: BENJAMIN HERMAN PLAYS JAKI BYARD

[Joe]

Any board members have any thoughts to share on this one?

Herman (as)

Pierre Christophe (p)

Jos Machtel (b)

Joost van Schalk (d)

The AMG review by Ken Dryden (!) is complimentary, but other takes are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I have it and think it is a very enjoyable recording. I was familiar with Herman before, but Chritsophe made a significant impression as well. If I remember correctly, he may have had a few lessons with Byard at some time.

I recommend it withour reservation.

It is an enjoyable album.

Much grass, all.

Herman also has a copy of recordings out (or so it appears) focused on Misha Mengelberg compositions. Intriguing... how have I not heard of this guy before now?
