So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Duke Ellington's Jazz Violin Session

Other Dimensions in Music - Live at the Sunset (Marge)

One thing I like about Other Dimensions in Music is that they play free improvisation that is melodic, with conventional instrumental techniques. That's not to say that I don't enjoy free music with extended techniques and sound exploration, but there's something refreshing about this band's melodic free music.

Continuing my evening of CT music with:

Clark After Dark: The Ballad Artistry of Clark Terry (MPS)
It's fun to hear Terry do his thing over these enormous, swoony arrangements.  Most of them are by Peter Herbolzheimer, who also conducts the orchestra.

That seems like an odd pairing.

Perhaps so, but it works - at least for me.

I agree on both counts. It seems like it wouldn't work. But it comes off wonderfully. In fact, it seems like there's a tangible simpatico vibe between Brubeck & Rushing. 

Go figure.
