jazzbo Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Listening right now to the BGO cd reissue of Miroslav Vitous "The Bass" (aka "Mountain in the Clouds") Before that I listened to. . . Antonio Carlos Jobim on the BGO cd reissue that combines "Tide" and "Stone Flower." I have other versions of these but at a great price I couldn't resist a reissue with both these albums--collaborations between Jobim and Deodata--on one disc. The remastered sound is very good. These are among my favorite Jobim albums; I love the way that Deodata has arranged these two sessions, and it's great to have Tom and Eumir both on guitars and pianos, either both playing the same instruments on a track or one playing another. I think my favorites are when both play pianos, or one plays an electric piano and one a piano. And I had listened to an album that took me forever to get that was recommended to me as a Jobim nut. It's not a cheap one to get, and my first order I waited and waited for and it never arrived. I contacted the seller and he refunded me the money--I'm not really sure he ever really sent it to me. The second order was processed and then a week later the seller refunded my purchase price saying he didn't have it in stock. Finally I ordered a third time and received it. It was worth the wait.

Larry Kart Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Sparked IIRC by a post by Jim Sangrey, I'm enjoying this one a lot. It has a flavor all its own. Particularly nice choice of pieces -- by Thad Jones, Joe Henderson, Ellington's (or is it Strayhorn's, I forget) "The Star-Crossed Lovers," etc. Elvin plays a prominent inspiring role. I like Mickey Tucker's "Sojourn" but didn't mean to post this many images of it. Quote

McBee is one of the all-time greats who can fit in with everyone, IMO. Emmet Cohen Featuring Benny Golson and Albert 'Tootie' Heath - Masters Legacy Series, Vol. 3: Having seen Cohen with Tootie in 2018 and with Benny last night, this was a welcome addition. I am on my third listen today, having listened to it twice on the way back from Cincinnati. Edited January 19, 2020 by Justin V Quote
