That arrangement of "Love for Sale". Chet kept it also on his small group performances mostly live in Europe. Very fine on the 1979 live at Onkel Pö´s in Hamburg, Germany

It´s one of my favourite Miles albums. I purchased it when I was a teenager.

Ricardo Grilli "If on a Cold Winter's Night a Traveler". 

I believe this is his first. He came out of the gate strong.

I like the Bud parts. The Oscar parts make me cringwince, and there's enough of them that I can't fully relax and enjoy the Bud parts.

You're welcome. The two I have released after this are even better.

Them Teddy Edwards be the good records, them Teddy Edwards be.

Just got this and it's among his best, for sure.  Only two originals, rest are covers, but the focus is very much on his guitar and vocals, with only a second guitarist + rhythm. I've heard some Delmarks with horns but this keeps it nice and clean and all Byther Smith.

I wonder if there's a CD of originals, with this type of backing. That would be awesome but this is simply very very very good.

I've been digging this lately.  It's super synth-heavy, very much a "1980s" sound.  But the sound is interesting because EVERY aspect of the music is percussion- and rhythm-oriented, even the keyboards.  The net effect is very much "in your face" music, very dense, very complex, very electronically processed.  Actually, there are aspects of this music that remind me of M-Base stuff (especially the rhythmic complexity and angularity) -- but imagine M-Base that uses Afro-Cuban musical traditions as a launching point rather than African-American ones. So, for example, there's that Cuban classical thing woven in there, like a Latin-y Joe Zawinul.  It's interesting.

Oh, I have a D'Angelico, though not a New Yorker but an EXL. They were incredibly Art Deco-inspired. And I didn't know he was a guitarist. So I'll have to investigate that.
