Been too long since I've heard this one. (From the Coltrane box set "Side Steps").

Earl Hines - Live at the New School, Volume Two (Chiaroscuro)
To my knowledge, this LP hasn't ever been reissued in any digital format. I wonder why. It's not because the music is sub-standard!

Tim Buckley - Happy Sad (WQCP-923, SHM-CD)

Uncharacteristically stellar sound on this Japanese Warner reissue. (All the Tim Buckley SHM-CDs sound great.)

Derek Bailey – Music And Dance (Revenant)

It's raining outside this morning.  It seems like the right weather to play this Derek Bailey CD of live "duos" with dancer Min Tanaka.  The first half consists of the work called "Rain Dance" which was recorded in an abandoned forge in Paris.  As Bailey notes:

"The site of our performance [...] was not, in itself, particularly special, but when we played, the environment, as so often with Min, performed a significant role; La Forge had a glass roof, there was a brief burst of torrential rain, the roof leaked = RAIN DANCE."

This CD has the complete concert.

alankin - The music on Live at the New School Volume Two was recorded in 1974, one year after the first Live at the New School LP, which was recorded in 1973. They're entirely different concerts.  

Until recently, I'd also assumed that the music on Vol. 2 was from the same concert as Vol. 1.  But that isn't the case.  

See the different tracklists below:

Live at the New School ("Volume 1," CD version)
1 As Long As I Live
2 The Talk of the Town
3 Spoken Announcement
4 Fats Waller Medley
5 I've Got The World on a String
6 International Medley: Canadian Sunset / Lullaby Of Birdland / A Night In Trinadad
7 Satin Doll
8 West Side Story Medley: I Feel Pretty / Maria / America / There's A Place For Us / Tonight
9 Medley: When The Saints Go Marchin' In / Along The Santa Fe Trail / Perdido
10 Boogie Woogie on St. Louis Blues

Live at the New School, Volume Two (LP)
A1 Japanese Sandman
A2 Blue Skies
A3 Slaughter on 10th Avenue
B1 Medley: Sweet Lorraine / The Girl From Ipanema / Bluesette / A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody / Tea For Two    
B2 Earl Hines Medley: My Monday Date / You Can Depend On Me / Caution Blues / Rosetta

Ah, I should have known it wasn't that simple!

Now playing:
Gary Thomas – While The Gate Is Open (JMT / Polydor Tokyo)
— Gary Thomas - tenor saxophone, flute; Kevin Eubanks - electric guitar (tracks 1, 5, 6 & 8); Renee Rosnes - synthesizer, piano (tracks 2, 3 & 8); Anthony Cox (tracks 4, 5, 7 & 8), Dave Holland (tracks 1-3 & 6) - bass; Dennis Chambers - drums (tracks 1-5, 7 & 8); standards

I noticed he hasn't recorded as a leader for a while.  I guess he's been busy as an educator -- he's currently "Director and Chair of Jazz Studies" at the Peabody Institute.

Is it cruel to say that I would love this session more if it weren't Ray Draper's and just a quartet with Coltrane?

Great rhythm section behind the horns. Listening to this via the Coltrane "Side Steps" box set.

Perhaps not cruel, just an honest response. I'm not familiar with that one, but having heard Draper in a couple of other contexts, I can understand your feelings.

I don't think so.  

 

 

I'm listening to this again:

Stephane Grappelli Meets Earl Hines (Black Lion)

[jlhoots]

Sorry, but I think Draper always added a sort of mysterious touch to the sessions he was on.

Mark Shim - Turbulent Flow

I wonder, too. Caught him live at the Jazz Gallery some ten years ago with a Mark  Helias group that included Herb Robertson, Craig Taborn, and IIRC Eric Harland, and Shim and everyone sounded terrific.
Also, a perfect NYC-attitude experience  --  I was at the Jazz Gallery a few years ago and mentioned to the ticket taker at the door how mesmorable that Helias group performance was and how good Shim had sounded. He said with great certainty that Shim had never played at the Jazz Gallery. When I told him that I had in fact heard Shim there, he said, and not at all in a nice way (if such be possible), "You're lying." Too bad I really wanted to see the band I'd bought a ticket for that night; otherwise I would have torn it up and thrown the pieces in his face.
