Sonny Rollins - This Is What I Do (Milestone, 2000)

Outstanding latter-day Sonny -- especially "Did You See Harold Vick?" (!!!)

I´ve heard so much about that most famous  Deer Head Inn and read a Phil Woods interview where he tells about that venue. He lived in that town. 

Dave Liebman in his autobiography also mentions this club. 

This place really looks wonderful, I never saw a jazz venue like that . Over here, most of them are cellar clubs.

One of the few Keith Jarrett sessions I can listen to and enjoy was recorded at this venue.

Starting my half-yearly revisit of these wonderful recordings. Life would be much worse without this music. I lost track of how many different versions I own...

I don't know why but Hank Williams keeps running through my head.  I'd love some recommendations, I mostly find compilations?

I love this boxed set: 

OK! It's a 10-CD "complete" collection, probably not what you're looking for... Anyway...  

[Coda]

Thank you EKE BBB!   I may just go find this.   

 

In the meantime something new:

Tabla – Zakir Hussain
Voice – Shankar Mahadevan
Guitar - John McLaughlin

The Revolution Begins: The Flying Dutchman Masters. Gill Scott-Heron

[JSngry]

Jeff Parker & The New Breed  ‎– Suite For Max Brown

This might have been an interesting record 10-15 years ago. Now....except for the last three cuts it sounds old-fashioned.

Those last three cuts are really good, though.

Simon deserves a higher profile.  I saw him last night with Horizon(!).  I've been impressed every time I've seen him (two other Horizon sets and with the SFJAZZ Collective).

Still grooving to Stanley Turrentine and Shirley Scott:

I'm with you, Justin.  Edward Simon is an interesting musician. 

I'm jealous that you got to see him with Horizon!

Disc 5. - I especially like the Wayne Shorter tune on this disc - "Tell It Like It Is". Furthermore, the tenor solo by Shorter on this tune is one of my very favorites by Wayne Shorter

Two drummers, a tuba and a sax-- what's not to like?  And the title is really funny when you see the names of the songs.   But why's this on Impulse?
