May I join you in worshipping at the shrine of Bird, Fats, Allen and Ernie? So nice to see music of this era played!

I'm almost tempted to start a thread titled "Playing Favourites: Reflections on Jazz of the Later 1940s", but am too lazy. ;)

Terrific idea!  And a most excellent thread name as well. :D 

 

 

This morning, I've been (stopping and) listening to "Baby Face" Willette:

This compilation includes a nearly 13 minute version of "Europa" which, A) reminds one of how beautiful a melody that is when just played "as is"; brother,if you can't get busy with that melody as your background music, then perhaps it's time to set out the "going out of business" sign, and B) is quite the showcase for Eric Alexander.

I just bought that one recently.  It's crazy how the first 6 tracks haven't seen CD reissue otherwise.  The first three have some great George Coleman.  To be honest, 'Europa', which has a surprisingly loose Alexander, is a little too smooth for my liking.

On another day and given a different listen under a different frame of mind, I'd likely agree with you.  This time around though, that track worked well for me.
