Always a favourite!

Saw Feldman at Ronnie Scott's "old place" in 1959 , during a triumphant Xmas home visit to the UK "just after he joined Cannonball Adderley", as Simon Spillett told me.

When I saw him he played only vibes, but it was his piano playing, as on this disc, that fascinated me. Tellingly, he said that Carl Perkins had been a big influence on his distinctive chording style.

Yeah, for some inexplicable reason, it's been recently re-released as "Piano for Dancers Only." :blink:

Well, they've gotta sell it somehow!  IIRC that's a track on the album, a nice tune from Jimmy Lunceford in the 30s. (I wonder if that was the first of the many "For ------s Only" tunes (e.g. Jimmy Heath's "For Minors Only").

Toninho Horta E Orquestra Fantasma - Terra Dos Pássaros (EMI/Universal, 1980)
Horta's backing band is practically a "Fingers" reunion with Airto Moreira, Hugo Fattoruso, and Ringo Thielmann -- plus there are more Brazilian heavyweights like Raul De Souza, Zé Eduardo Nazario, et al.

Yesterday my Dad and his four children were in the same room together for the first time in over a year. Was a good time . . . as good a time as one can have gathered around a hospice bed.

 

On the way there and back I played two Houston Person cds:

 

"Opening Round"
