Nothing could go wrong with this Rhythm Section ....

For sure. Good as all the drummers were that played with Dexter -  Billy Higgins, Art Taylor, Tootie Heath, Eddie Gladden and all the others , it struck me as I was listening that Kenny Clarke arguably gave Dexter the very best drum support he ever had.   

Now:

SFJazz Collective "Original Compositions & Works of Thelonious Monk" disc 2

The original compositions featured on this tour are very good. Sound is great as well.

If you are interested/favorable to in those names, then yeah, c'mon in, the water's fine! For anybody not knowing those names and are looking for a "regular" Gary Bartz record, uh, maybe not so much. Otherwise, hey, Jazz continues to be dead, LOL!

Thanks, those names find favour here so will dive.

I found the Ayers collaboration didn't quite live up to my expectations. My problem, no-one else's

[JSngry]

Well, there is a sonic "disconnect" between Ayers and the tracks, but I think that's built in to this type of thing, part of the overall intent, it's like, no sense making it sound like everybody's all in a club pumping fists and yelling and stomping if "jazz is dead", right? So this is like, Gary Bartz is NOT dead, so let's get him tp apparate where we can get him in.

Indeed, not for everybody, and not a record I would think to make, but now that it was, ok then, I can dig it.

Just finished:

Azymuth - Cascades / Rapid Transit (Milestone)

This disc is really scratching an itch, getting lots of spins lately. 

 

[JSngry]

I like it.

although I must say, I might have preferred his orchestrations had they been for his electronic instruments...more colors available (at least with his abilities). But this works too.
