Thanks for the tip.

Big fan of Charles Davis too.

One of my very favorite Brazilian jazz discs. Just so Brazilian. . . and so jazz. And for members of the secret international organization of Maucha Adnet afficianados this is essential.

And I breezed through a shelf and saw this as a followup, which is an album I have definitely overlooked of late, and one that always impresses me:

Monday Michiru "Soulception" . . . 

Fits in perfectly after the Da Fonseca. Wow, this is one of three or four Monday cds that every time I hear it I think "This is my favorite!" It's certainly A favorite. She is really on form here.

Last week and earlier this week I explored some Stefon Harris from my collection. When these came out I listened to them and thought they were cool, then I set them aside for a while and revisiting them I'm more impressed. Great sequencing for albums, great arrangement, nice blend of jazz and latin and funkrock in varying mixes. Very good engineering and mastering as well. And Harris plays in unexpected ways.
Evolution

A Cloud of Red Dust

Ninetymiles

The Grand Unification Theory

If there is a flaw with this album, I can't find it.

P.S. Yahel on piano, tho.

Now playing:

Cover is misleading. There is no harp on this CD. The trio is piano , guitar, and bass.

Some of this is really interesting, some of this is really not interesting.

No matter, this Alan Sondheim guy has certainly gone forward with many different things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Sondheim

I also don't see any bed or any cigarettes, just a trio of a harp, a chair, and a harpist (is that Eddie Higgins?).

Total botch-job.

Oh man. I love this stuff so much.

It's like Buster's sayin' to the band, "Just climb on my back. I'll carry every one of y'all!"

Pulled this one to listen to more from pianist Wade Legge. He only plays on 2 tunes, but sounds good. Though Lars Gullin is primarily known as a baritone sax player, he also plays alto sax on a number of tracks here.

CD combines two LPs: Mighty Mongo and Viva Mongo!

Features a terrific band with Rolando Lozano (fl), João Donato (p), Jose "Chombo" Silva (ts), a.o. 

Thanks to Jim S. for hipping me to this.  Some primo "Chombo" here!

Good stuff all around, but those sextet sides really speak.
