I'm only a few tracks in after I hadn't heard it in years, but I think people here would dig this one.

Remember seeing that exact band lineup, on what must have been the same European tour. Blakey in his usual dungarees.

 

Superb debut.

I always wondered what a cartoon full of Uncle Fester athletes at the Ministry of Silly Walks had to do with Miles Davis and his Horns..

Thanks to soulpope and Rabshakeh for the recommendation in Hutchfan's 70s thread.  Certainly warming up a chill London

Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto "Por Causa de Voce/Because of You: A Birthday Celebration of Antonio Carlos Jobim" featuring Maucha Andet and Romero Lubambo

All I can say is everytime I play this cd I feel so much better. Beautiful music, excellent live recording. Swinging, real jazz feeling, excellent singing and playing. 

Thanks for the recommendation - I will check this out. I heard Jovino Santos live in Hermeto Pascoal's group many years ago and he was great!

Yes, I have a number of his recordings and he's a master. I plan to listen to this solo piano one next:

All the volumes in this series are excellent.

Trying to imagine this session with Ed Blackwell ....

Time for some latin stuff from Dizzy from the mid 70s

Stefon Harris "The Grand Unification Theory" Blue Note cd

This one is one of my favorites of his. So much to enjoy here in arrangements, solos, engineering. Not a "let's just do a record" record--much thought and energy are put into play.

Great cover!

Miles Davis (and Gil Evans) "Porgy and Bess" Mobile Fidelity SACD

New (to me) speaker cables in place and this disc is sounding killer for possibly the first time (I thought it sounded really good before but it's delivered better now). 

Evans created threads of sound as no one else. This is one of those albums you can listen to for decades (I have) and still be swept away within (I have, I am).

[soulpope]

Near-time replay ....excellent indeed ....
