Grant Green - Alive! (Blue Note)

Sparked by recent discussion, some latter-day Barney Kessel. This Poll Winners album, the last I think, may be the best of the series -- fewer routines, emphasis on blowing. Kessel is fresh and feisty on"Jellybeans," with Bob Maize (bs.) and Jimmy Smith (dms).

Yes: This one, and the "Breaking Point" , and the material from those two Albums played "live" on "Night of the Cookers". Wonderful mid 60´s Freddie Hubbard.

Steve Swallow - Ohad Talmor - Adam Nussbaum "Singular Curves". Excellent stuff.

Yesterday I listened twice each to two new arrivals, cds by Cuban pianist Omar Sosa and the NDR Big Band, "Ceremony" and "Es: Sensual"

 

 

 

The draw for me was that Brazilian cellist/composer/orchestrator/arranger Jacques Morelenbaum arranged these compositions for Sosa and the band, and I love his work. Quite involving releases that I will enjoy listening to many times to come. Very well-recorded also.

This one is OK, but "best"? I am not sure what would be the best one, but IMHO a definitely better one is (recorded 30 years earlier with some of the same people):

Works for me. 

But check out that Lacy if you don't know it.

I'll give it another shot, but it was the first of many with Waldron, right? And you like it best?

Yes, I think this is the first one, or one of the first ones. This is not necessarily the best Waldron / Lacy collaboration, but as far as Monk tributes are concerned, this is an excellent album. 

As far as Monk tributes are concerned, here is another one:

  

These two young upstarts, Johnny and Eddie, can make circles around Mr. Braxton.
