What's that like, soulpope?  I've never heard it.

Very good late Hampton Hawes .... side 1 features duos with bassist Mario Suraci (excellent musician - never heard of him before) and side 2 a captivating solo piano suite ....

Les Spann never gets a lot of attention and he may be easily overlooked among all the star players on these sessions, but he brought some real musical value to everything I've heard him on.

I saw him play in 1959 with a Gillespie quintet that included Junior Mance and Sam Jones. I believe that after his spell in the jazz limelight he fell on very hard times.

Ote Maloya, The Birth of Electric Maloya on Reunion Island 1975-1986 (Strut)

Many well-known names from the musical scene of my native island! With family around, I've listened to "Folklore Réunionnais", a compilation of Sega music, the other music genre along with maloya on th island. Side B is wonderful.

Discovering now: Stan Getz - Focus. Getz seems a bit on auto-pilot, but I like the arrangements and thought the strings and sax were blending very well.

Starting the afternoon with: earl meets harry (B&B).

It is new music to me; I rather like it; an excellent collection from Strut Records.
