Very nice, maybe not the very best of Miles´ Prestige sessions, but especially the Al Cohn Zoot Sims session is a very relaxed date, well the tunes are catchy and for easy listening after a day of hard work....

Collector´s items also very fine.

A delightful Duo SACD. Both Music and audio quality are really excellent.

Yes, Hamilton and Pozza are a great pairing.

Here they are with British bassist Andrew Clyndert at my friend Malcolm's house. It was one of the best gigs I've been to at Malcolm's.

I keep wanting to tell Jon Irabagon to maybe think about taking a breath before he runs out of air, and maybe shaping his ventage with a little conscious direction, but hey, he got the gig, not me, so good for him. Venting is a valid form of musical expression. My problem is that it sounds pretty common when done as this.

On the sunny side of the street, though - GREAT to see that Barry Altschul is- and has been for a while - back on the scene. He got a little lost there visibility-wise, but, really, one of the key drummers of his time, how soon we might forget. HE sounds great here. Long may he wave!

Ok, second listen, perhaps I am being harsh about Irabagon...but it sounds like there's a secret Michael Brecker down in there that could come out and play if those kids came by and knocked on the door. But ok, he's in it, to be sure, and Altschul is inspired, so all's well then.

More Barry Altschul records, please.

Nothing wrong with this record, but nothing right about it either.

Hate it when that happens.

I mean, they had a part of a very nice trio/quartet record, part of a very nice "expanded ensemple" album, and part of a...part of a "with voices" album.

A part of everything, a hole of nothing. Too bad.

Albert Ayler "Music is the Healing Force of the Universe" Impulse/Universal Japan SHM-CD. 

I forgot about the bagpipes. . .not a fan of those but I like the rest of the album a lot, it's one of a kind. Ali on drums adds a lot.

Didn't know what to follow this with. . . decided on

Kenny Drew "Talkin' and Walkin'" Blue Note US cd
