jazzbo Posted May 31, 2020 Report Posted May 31, 2020 "Albare Plays Jobim" Guitarist and composer, Albare was born in Morocco and grew up in Israel and France. Although he joined at age 8 the Music Conservatory in his hometown in Israel for 2 years, his musical development was completely self-taught. These days, as Albare has lost his central vision faculties due to an genetic illness, his playing is completely by ear. In 1972 Albare discovered the sound of Jobim while watching Marcel Camus’s cult film, Orpheus Negro. The haunting melodies and unique compositions left a profound impression on the young guitarist and inspired Albare to study and play the melodic style for which he is now known for. This disc reminds me of Wes Montgomery's A&M recordings. Albare has a Wes sound (maybe he uses his thumb?) I like this. Quote

JSngry Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Posted June 1, 2020 Bags is great. Is Bags ever NOT great? The only "qualm" I might have about this record is the pianist, who gets a little splashy-flashy in spots for my taste. But hey, Bags. Quote
Justin V Posted June 1, 2020 Report Posted June 1, 2020 Jim Self/Jim Chiodini - Floating in Winter: I'm enjoying this one. Tuba (or fluba!) with guitar is an oddball combination that works. This is one of two duo albums they've done. Quote

Larry Kart Posted June 1, 2020 Report Posted June 1, 2020 Self was the "voice" of the mothership in "Close Encounters." I've got this album and at least one more by him, very much a jazz date for medium-sized ensemble., with a lovely setting of "Maiden Voyage." Also an album of classical pieces where he plays his transcription for tuba of Debussy's famous solo flute piece "Syrinx." It's at at once amusing and very beautiful. Quote
Gheorghe Posted June 1, 2020 Report Posted June 1, 2020 Very fine collection of early Jaws, typical Savoy sides, with greats like Sadik Hakim, Fats Navarro...... Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Posted June 1, 2020 NOTE - Produced by Ray Brown, NOT Norman Granz! This is a really good record. They all are. If you had 20 or so Milt Jackson records that all sounded about the same and were all REALLY good, which ones would you get rid of if you had to, and why? That's not nearly as easy a question as it might seem...because they are all REALLY good. I think the answer might be to just put them on a flash drive, that way you could keep them all AND get rid of them all! Quote

Interesting that Ray had producer credit. Granz was very much involved - according to Janie Harris' bio, he said to Gene on the first day of recording, "I don't want any of that Three Sounds shit on this album!" The record is also important because it led to Gene joining the Ray Brown Trio, and the excellent second act he had as an international performer. Quote
