Hmmm.  What's "The Nandnow"?   I'm curious what you thought of this one, Bill.  I like Benny Green's playing ever since I first saw him in Joshua Redman's and Ray Brown's bands.  I have a few of his CDs, but I admit it has been years since I've checked out any of his new releases.  So much music, so little time.

Evan Parker - Process and Reality (FMP)

[HutchFan]

Dizzy Gillespie - Odyssey: 1945 - 1952 (Savoy)
Disc 3

On this election night, all I have to say is. . .

Herbie Nichols - Love, Gloom, Cash, Love (Bethlehem)

Green is always a sound in-the-tradition pianist (and there are precious few left!) This album is partly a showcase for youthful bop (is that a contradiction in terms?) vocalist Veronica Swift, whose singing is acceptable.

Hmm. I'm not familiar with that record, soulpope. Maybe one to add to the list.  

 

Prompted by your Waldron-listening, I've cued up this one:

Mal Waldron "Plays The Blues-Live At The Domicile" is a personal desert island platter .... "A Touch Of The Blues" is nearly as good - never out on CD (unfortunately) .... I`m still wondering about the existence of the original tapes/recordings for "Black Glory" where a great version of "Rock My Soul" is -just as Jimmy Woode starts soloing -faded ....years ago I`ve tried to get feedback from the former Enja co-owners but sadly resulting in no further enlightment ....

Back to Jazz (and personal desert island material) ... :

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for A Touch of the Blues.

Regarding your inquiry with Enja: Yes, it would be wonderful to hear all of the recordings from both Plays the Blues and Black Glory in unedited form.  

 

Now listening to the "companion disc":
