So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Rabshakeh]

John Butcher - Stuck (Takuroku, 2020)

A coronavirus solo piece. One of Butcher's best in while I think. Recommended if your... proclivities turn this way.

Nate Wooley Quintet - (Dance To) The Early Music (Clean Feed, 2015)

Nate Woolley's band playing creative interpretations of Wynton Marsalis tunes. One of my favourite records of the last decade.

John, what do you think of that disc?  I've never heard it.

It certainly looks interesting.  That's the same trio backing Tate that backed Paul Desmond on Live (and the recent Mosaic set), right?

EDIT: 
I just checked Discogs, and I see that Bickert and Don Thompson played on Desmond's Live and this Tate date.  But Terry Clarke is the drummer for Tate and Jerry Fuller plays on Desmond's record. ... So two-thirds the same.

It's a very nice disc, which will be enjoyed by all Tate fans. Ed Bickert's playing is outstanding.  I really like the sonic combination of tenor and guitar.  

 

But I think this one is even better:

Well worth the $3.19 (now $3.13) on Amazon so far.

The sound of Bickert's guitar, and chord voicings just worked magically with the sonority of great horn players like Tate, Desmond, Rob McConnell, Frank Rosalino, and others.

Not one I had ever paid attention to in the past, or expect to in the future, but I LOL that it's a five-piece band and all but one of the players has their name on the cover.

The fifth is Mark Soskin, which in a weird (or not) kind of way does....something to connect it to late-70s Sonny Milestone records, something, somehow, ouch (but not entirely?)?

The Harry Babasin session.  After enjoying Larry Bunker on vibes on the Marty Paich Bethlehem session, I was pleased to see that I had more of Bunker on vibes (and Paich) on this set.

After asking about this record yesterday, I'm now giving it a listen via YouTube:

Sounds good!

At that point, he couldn't play the bass any more. He had ALS.

Oh yes, you are right. I was mislead by the liner notes I think. 

Now this one. It´s not as interesting as "Three Worlds of Drums" but a fine blowing session on the chords of "Idaho" .

Disc 3 - Originally released as Green Shading into Blue in 1978.

Excellent!
