Right now, scratching my frequent itch to play Jobim music. 

Joe Henderson "Double Rainbow--The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim" Verve cd.

I love this one. Joe Henderson was a master of bossa and samba , I like his aproach to that kind of music very much.

I also think both have something in common, specially since UR was a collective out of which several side projects spawned. Since their start in the late 80s and early 90s they have released tons of material. Specially in the form of EPs and maxis. So they have little albums, and when they do, they're mostly compilations of member tracks. I, for one, like most their soulful side, being able to recommend British label React's compilation True people, from the mid 90s, which features a lot of good Detroit techno. Then there's also an album or compilation called Galaxy 2 Galaxy that's very good and from the mid 2000s and with a good choice of jazzy techno. And finally I'd recommend an album from 2006 or so called Los Hermanos (The Brothers), which is also very soulful and features again tracks by (I think mostly latin) members.

Don't know if they're still active today. Last time I saw something new from them was in the mid 2000s. And, as I said, I don't know much of their stuff. There are also two compilations out there, called Interstellar Fugitives and IF2. But they are quite hard and I don't like them so much.

thank you, i will check some of your recommendations out.

I always wondered what Monk might have thought about that strange cover . 

Was this Monk´s last album for Columbia ?

I think it might be the one that is discussed in Notes and Tones, dismissively, if I recall.  

On the Edit: See below. Not dismissive. Not effusive.

Earlier .... :

[jazzbo]

Stanley Turrentine with the 3 Sounds "Blue Hour Vol. 2" Blue Note TOCJ cd.

Sublime material, either volume. And no complaints about the piano sound from me--you can hear all the sustain and swing of Harris' playing.

Duke Ellington "Black, Brown & Beige--featuring Mahalia Jackson" Columbia/Sony gold cd.

Hadn't listened to either version I have of this release, cd or LP, in a long time. I think I've listened to my mono LP most often and forgot how great this stereo cd sounds.

on the one hand...this type of thing has kinda turned me off for about as long as I got over it (and that was a loooong time ago).

on the other hand....DAMN. It will never be better than this, not for this type of thing. Writing/playing, this will be as good as this type of thing gets. Period.

Either way, quite apart from what I do or do not like, there is nothing cheap and/or trivial about this music. If you don't like it, that's your business. But if you don't respect the hell out of it, then you are just plain wrong about that. Sorry.
