Two Giants + THE Rhythm Section ....

I hadn't listened to this in many years and was thinking of selling it, which would have been a big mistake!  The Trance is a captivating piece; almost puts you into a trance.  Parts of it sound very mid Eastern, at least to me.

Never dump a Booker Ervin record, you'll always want it back eventually.

This is definitely an influence - the major reason for this is Reggie Workman (replacing here regular Richard Davis) who sounds like playing an enlarged Oud ....

The Two Sides of Hampton Hawes (JAS, 2 LPs)
LP 1 - originally released as High in the Sky (Vault); trio with Leroy Vinnegar & Donald Bailey

5 stars.

I love this one, too - so atmospheric.

My listening pile today:

Rowles has such a unique way of approaching familiar tunes in surprising ways - "Stars and Stripes Forever" here is hilarious!

More of a Jazzland All Stars disc ,,,

Is it just me, or is Billy Higgins rather low in the mix?

That's a terrific LP, one of my favorites by Jimmy Rowles.

Mads Vinding is great on that "new"release with Hank Jones & Shelly Manne.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, jlhoots. I'll have to check it out.  

Vinding has made some excellent records. His trio record on Storyville, Open Minds -- with Jean-Michel Pilc and Billy Hart -- is outstanding too.
