Terrific, underappreciated.

Always loved the Dorham (some fine Adderley there), and DeRose for me probably is the best female jazz vocalist of her vintage (though I can't think of all the others at the moment). Caught her several years ago at Smoke in NYC with this rhythm section IIRC and was impressed -- fine pianist too.

Eliane Elias – Fantasia (Blue Note Records / Somethin'else Records—Toshiba EMI)
— Eliane Elias (piano, vocals), Eddie Gomez (bass) & Jack DeJohnette (drums) or Marc Johnson (bass) & Peter Erksine (drums) + Nana Vasconcelos (percussion, vocals) and  Ivan Lins (vocals, 1 track)

Right now, this very jazzy recording from Aretha Franklin, "Oh Yeah," via the new Jazz Connoisseur cd from Legacy Recordings (Sony)--this edition includes transfers of both the original tape and the crowd overdubbed tape.

Thanks, both of those are on my shortlist along with the Diz !  

Just noticed that they are all on Spotify so time to sample..

It appears that with the Woody Shaw NDR Info release, the vinyl version omits the announcements that are included on the cd but adds an extra track "Diane" that is not included on the cd.  It is usually the other way around.  The lp runs about 82 minutes; it would have been nice if the cd version included all of the tracks on the lp.

I am still upset that that the Blackstone Legacy cd was edited.

Phillipe Baden Powell (the guitarist's son) "Estrada de Terra/Dirt Road" . . . very nice!

Jodi Gilbert – The Voice is the Matter (Ramboy Records)
— Jodi Gilbert - voice, dulcimer; Michael Moore - clarinets, alto saxophone, tin whistle, melodica; Alexei Levin - piano, accordion; Ernst Glerum - bass; plus Michael Vatcher - drums.

Lovely record.  Very eclectic, yet holds together very well.  If you like Robin Holcomb, you should like this.

Thanks for the advisory on that. I listened to the Shaw a bit earlier and it took me right back to seeing this band live, some months after this recording, I will consider picking up the LP version, if I can find it at the right price.

I have ‘Blackstone’ on a white label Contemporary vinyl

I don't think she has an especially memorable voice but she does put it to good use.

Her piano playing and arrangements are impressive.

Check out her Live At The Jazz Standard double set.
