So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Rabshakeh]

Time Berne's Snakeoil - You've Been Watching Me (2018, ECM)

Ferreira's guitar really makes this one, but it's a very good showing all round.

I never get why this one isn't considered one of the basic top ten introductory jazz albums. 

It's got everything a 60s hard bop album needs, and Wynton Kelly in particular is absolutely fantastic. 

[Gheorghe]

Dave Liebman´s Lookout Farm live in Hamburg 1975

[Peter Friedman]

Early small group sessions that features some of the best Lester Young solos out there.

It is missing a saxophone.

Ellington at Newport (Complete)
Discs 1 & 2

It's a gas to hear how things actually went down -- unedited -- on that historic day.

Hooray for Duke and hooray for the "Hero of Newport," Paul Gonsalves !!!

I've always thought that it was never quite the sum of its considerable parts.  Maybe I need to revisit too

Was same here, but today - after many years on the shelves - it reveals considerable magic .... or me just getting old(er) ....

Oh yeah...

Harold Vick - The Caribbean Suite (RCA)

IMO, this record would've been much more interesting if Vick had been given more solo space and the music loosened up.  It's arranged to the hilt, so the jazz quotient is relatively low. ... Seems like RCA was aiming for an MOR audience rather than the jazz crowd.  Oh well.  It is what it is.  Not terrible. Not great.
