So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Justin V]

Don Cherry's Art Deco led me here.  This has to be some essential Cedar Walton (with longtime colleagues David Williams and Billy Higgins) joining him.  I'm glad that Art Deco brought Clay some attention in his final years.

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Reflections in Blue (Timeless, 1979)

Excellent late-period Blakey!

oh yes !!!!, those two are Wonderful. "Korner" actually was the first Blakey I bought. It came out in late spring 1978 so it was out after very short time. 

Reflection in Blue from 1979: That´s the band I saw live: Valery Ponomarev , Bobby Watson, Dave Schnitter......

1979 or early 80 was the first time I saw Blakey as well, I think. Recollections are hazy but Bill Hardman might have been on trumpet but Watson and Schnitter were there. They played quite a bit from ‘Gypsy Folk Tales’.

We had this group in concert at our jazzclub in Koblenz (Germany) also in October 1979.

Here are some fotos (flashlight not allowed) and my draft for a private CD-R from the original recording on the spot

Wait a minute, which came first, Blakey in coveralls or (almost) the rest of the band? Did they put them on as a goof on their boss? I have never seen a photo of that era of the band wearing that "fashion" choice.

Why did Blakey sign twice? That's odd.

I would have loved to have seen that band. I missed seeing Blakey by about 2 months. I had just started getting into Jazz when I noticed he had just played what turned out to be his last gig in Boston a few weeks earlier.

I've neglected listening to Carmen for too long. Hers is a comforting voice, a rare talent she was.

Carmen McRae, "By Special Request" Japanese cd.

No overalls as I can remember. I have a foto with Art but without flashlight his face vanished in the "dark" so I didnt post it.

My member  admission card was folded in the middle so he didnt see the first side when I asked. When Williams had signed  he grabbed it and did sign again. Nice man!
