So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Peter Friedman]

[sidewinder]

This series is great ! Prime British jazz nuggets of the year on CD1, contemporaneous US material from Prestige, Riverside, Contemporary etc. on CD2. Not the obvious stuff either (the likes of Ted Curson, Prince Lasha and John Wright are on there).

Contrary to the cover, no John Jenkins and Kenny Burrell.

Great record!!!

[Chuck Nessa]

I think this session has been given lower ratings than deserved. It is one of my favorites.

[Larry Kart]

Likewise, I was surprised that on a recent list here of latter-day Ellington recordings, many of which were singled out  as being of special merit, this one was not. It's superb:

I agree. Not my favorite Ellington, but still a favorite.

Django in Rome - CD D

Sometimes when I listen to Django's recordings, I find myself doing a subconscious Dean Benedetti/Bird thing - just listening to Django and tuning out the other musicians.

@Hutchfan about Kühn Trio Love & Peace

Not my cup of tea. But I´m not into piano trio format either.
Just  curious about latest works of our  pioneers like Kühn brothers, Heinz Sauer, Manfred Schoof, Hampel etc.

To Joachim: I like Kühn without sidemen. Once caught him  at a solo concert. Fascinating improvising, Bach lurkin through the keys....
