Joe Lovano Us Five - Folk Art (Blue Note, 2009)

I rarely have an itch to listen to Lovano these days, but I still think this one has stood the test of time fairly well.

I agree.  I think Folk Art is one of Lovano's best records.

Tone Janša Quartet featuring Woody Shaw - Dr. Chi (Timeless, 1989)

 

[Gheorghe]

My God, if I think how I translated the title of that album when I was a teenager: "eine f***ende Sonate" 

Well, everybody is playing great on this.

One of the few recordings of Tommy Turrentine, who is really fine and it´s a pity he was so underrated.

On the BN documentary film you can see him and he talks, but he looks very very frail.

Butch Warren , on the last tune "Love" quotes "Old Devil Moon".

I read the story about that session in Max Bolleman´s book "Sounds", he was the owner of the studio where most of the Timeless records were made.

It was a terrible stress on that session because of the very unruly and uncoperative behaviour of Woody Shaw, and even worse, of his then girlfriend. But the music was great which is astonishing under those terrible circumstances.

I got very excited there are the prospect of a Sam Rivers / Reggie Workman trio I didn't know about, for about one minute before realising that Sam Rivers never looked that well kempt.

 ... Now that you mention it, Freddie Waits and Sam Rivers do look sorta similar.  I think it's the prominent forehead/high hairline.

First listen and I think it's very good.  I've a heap of Wooley albums but haven't bought anything for a few years so took a punt on this as a pre-order. Sounds quite composed to me, it's probably not, and errs on the 'not a lot' end of the 'does it swing?' spectrum  

Seriously, it's serious music played very well by some very good musicians.  If you've an ear for Wooley then you'll enjoy it.  It wears all the intellectualising in the notes and on FJB lightly I'd say

It is a gas, and "Blue Horizon" may be the greatest clarinet blues performance on record. Ok, not may be. IS!

Yes, good tunes and everybody plays with great energy. I am not much of a Woody Shaw fan, but I think is one of his best. This one and "In My Own Sweet Way" are the only Woody Shaw dates I return to often.    

And gotta get this Boleman book.

Absolutely, she can sing them too. That's a total gem. I was lucky to see her play it live a few years ago. Music heaven.
