Armen Donelian - Sayat-Nova: Songs of My Ancestors (Sunnyside)
Disc 1

 

[duaneiac]

Listening to the Earl Hines program.  I especially enjoy the interview section and hearing him tell how he began on the piano and developed as a musician.

Produced by Benny Golson. Vocal arrangements by Clark Burroughs. And other than a nice version of "Snow Queen", nothing to get excited about if you don't already have a natural affinity for this type of thing, which I don't, unless confronted with a full-frontal persuasion of necessity. Not really getting that here.

However...listening closely to "Kicking The Gong Around"...that really sounds like Stanley Turrentine. With no personnel listed (at least on the Rockola CD I got), when was T out in LA doing that session for Monk Higgins? You think Golson might have thrown Turrentine a piece?

Ben Allison & Medicine Wheel - Riding the Nuclear Tiger (Palmetto)
Haven't listened to this in ages, but I don't know why. It's good stuff.

 

Bennie Wallace - The Talk of the Town (Enja)
Typically strong set from Wallace. I really dig his approach, evoking the classic tenor sax sound of guys like Hawkins, Berry and Evans and combining it with a more modern vocabulary. It's distinctive, I think, the way he puts those elements together. (Or at least it was towards the beginning of Wallace's career. I'm not that familiar with his more recent stuff.)

Ok, there's another song with a tenor player on it, some trifle called "Please Don't Go (Round The Bend), and this tenor player is playing the same basic vernacular as the tenor player on "Kicking The Gong Around", but it is definitely not the same player, totally different sound/tone, no way it's the same guy.+

Is it possible that Stanley Turrentine's discography needs to include a record by The Association?
