I like Lovano and consider him one of our living Jazz treasures.  Scofield too.  I happened to cach Joe Lovano with John Scofield at Blue Note Hawaii in Waikiki last year.  Great show!

Here is a youtube I made from a small snippet of that show;

Oooh. I'm jealous that you got to see Lovano & Sco'.  

Well, at least I have the records.  

 

 

 

I enjoyed this so much yesterday that I listening again today:

Horace Parlan Quintet - Frank-ly Speaking (SteepleChase)

Al Harewood is swingin' his ass off on this record.

The sultry, swinging sounds of Darlene Edwards brought much joy to my heart today, so I thought I would share a bit --

Right you are.  We will alsways have their music.  It was a great show.  The nice thing about BN Hawaii is that the artists are easily approachable.  I think because it IS Hawaii, most are more relaxed than they are in BN New York or other Clubs.  There is a BlueNote Store outside of the Club in Hawaii and 90 percent of the time, the artists go from the stage out to the store to talk to the fans and sign autographs.  Many have albums there (CD) you can buy and have signed.  It's a nice venue for sure.  And the club itself in Hawaii is beautiful.  

The store is just outside the club.  Both are inside the "Outrigger" hotel in Waikiki.

Yes, I admit, I have spent more than I should have on shirts, hats, etc.

Very, very cool.

AMINA CLAUDINE MYERS TRIO: JUMPING IN THE SUGAR BOWL. MINOR MUSIC 8002 [1984]

[xybert]

Cedar Walton - Eastern Rebellion

This album kicks a ridiculous amount of arse. Billy Higgins is transcendent. There's a rare vitality here, the type of album that makes you fall in love with this type of Jazz all over again.

I'd like to hear this. I love her ' Salutes Bessie Smith ' album.

Got to sneak in an hour or so. . . put this LP (2 LP set actually) on . . .sounds so beautiful. This is probably my favorite new jazz release of the last few years.
