Great version of "Milestones" with smoking Frank Strozier solo work ....

Yes, and also Frank's outstanding solo on "I Remember Bird". It's a great album.

Richard Beirach - Breathing of Statues (CMP, 1982)

Stunning solo piano. Inward and intense.

All Hank Mobley records are fine, this is particularly fine with Curtis Fuller and McCoy Tyner.

Now spinning:

I've enjoyed this CD for many years.  It's a persuasive overview of Ford's recordings for Muse -- probably more persuasive than any of the individual LPs he made for label (although I don't have all of them).

Still for me his best solo work is to be found on Kip Hanrahan`s "Desire Develops An Edge" (American Clave) from 1982 ....

This is a crowd pleaser.  My wife gets Christmas music, which I generally dislike, my daughter loves Pass (as do I) and I get a musically satisfying album.

I need to check that out!  Thanks for the heads-up, sir!

Near time re-play .... bought as new release in the late 70`s but didn`t bother too much back than .... excellent Sy Johnson arrangements and superb soloing (John Handy, Don Pullen) makes this a clear winner nowadays ....

I'm listening to an Art Blakey concert from 1973 from Wolfgang's Vault.  The band: Carter Jefferson, Eddie Henderson, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Mickey Bass and Ray Mantilla.  The kicker? Sonny Stitt guesting on every song and Roy Haynes joining in on 'Night in Tunisia'.  

Wolfgang's Vault added a $10 credit to members' accounts for Black Friday.  I downloaded this and a Giants of Jazz Newport gig.  There are so many great concerts up.
