Sonny Rollins - Road Shows, Vol. 1 (Emarcy/Doxy)

The Road Shows are really great. On Vol 1 is also the Long existing quartet Rollins-Soskin-Harris-Foster, which I saw live in 1979.

Great, Wes Montgomery is one of my very first favourites when I started to listen to jazz. He is fascinating.

Now that bass guitar he plays on some tracks from this album is interesting. Did he record on this again? And did it look like the bass guitar that plays bass lines? (He uses it as a solo instrument here.)

It's a Fender Bass VI. I have a Japanese reissue. Very cool instrument.

"Blue Note Re: Imagined" disc 2

[jazzbo]

Nah, "Re: Imagined" wasn't doing it for me, so 

Miles Davis "Circle in the Round" Columbia LPs sides 3 and 4.

[Justin V]

This is my 4th or 5th listen since it arrived on Saturday.  I started it today and my daughter grabbed her dolls and said, 'Time to dance.'

I'm actually listening to this on the "Live in San Francisco" cd--wish it had been reissued separately in Japan.

Sun Ra Arkestra, Swirling (Strut)

[HutchFan]

Sir Roland Hanna - Solo: Round Midnight (Town Crier, 1987)

A remedy for the Monday morning blues.

Now this:

[Peter Friedman]

Disc 4 - Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb

[Gheorghe]

finally it arrived here. Wonderful, especially "More than you Know". Some have critics about George Cables ´ ballad features, but I really like what he does here. Dexter is wonderful. And very great solos by Rufus Reid and Eddie Gladden too.

Sammy Price Sextet featuring George Kelly, November 12 1977. Somewhere in France I think.

Sonny Rollins - Reel Life (Milestone/OJC, 1982)

Picked up this CD a few weeks ago, so I'm still getting to know it.  But I dig it. ... Of course, it's nowhere near Sonny's heaviest record, even from the Milestone years.  Plus there's that early-80's soundtrack-y sheen happening production-wise.  But still.  Sonny is Sonny. ... And when he launches into "McGhee."  Whoooooo!!!  LOOK OUT!!!

This morning in the car:

SF Jazz Collective "Wonder: the Music of Stevie Wonder"

A studio album (not a compilation from the live cds of the tour for this music by the Collective). Quite nice.
