I'm not following, Allen. What do you mean?

 

 

 

Bobby Avey - Inhuman Wilderness (innerVoiceJazz)

sorry, reflex action; a long time ago Armen stood me up on a gig I had booked; very important gig; and almost got me fired from it. Fine pianist, but when I called him to ask WTF he was completely indifferent.

Yow. I can see why you'd be upset. Sorry to hear that.

Such a magnificent recital. For me, this is desert-island music!

I only own two recordings of Ives' songs - the other is by Susan Graham. DeGaetani is my favorite.

I wonder if his name was changed to "Freddy" on the album cover just because "y" was more aesthetically pleasing in that graphic layout than an "ie" would have been.  It's a nice album which probably slips under the radar of a lot of folks.

Terrific set.  Great solos all round.  Contains my favourite Mobley composition "Late Show"" (aka Hank's Other Tune).  It was this piece, on an Esquire EP,  that made me sit up and notice Hank and Hard Bop when still a teenager.

Another fine Silver/Mobley/Byrd/Watkins album.

As for the Miles, I should have been there, but went home to Leeds during the student vacation. My student friend, the late Jack Massarik, was there
