drum kit of sound, never underestimate that out of Chico Hamilton.

I know the accordion is an acquired taste, but this is  an underappreciated gem of an album.  These two musicians shared more than a deep appreciation of Astor Piazzolla and both their styles and their instruments blended well together.  George Mraz and Clarence Penn filled out the foursome on this disc.

Here's a "live" version of one of my favorite tracks from the CD, "Il Postino".

Good one ....

Usually I´m not too fond of those N.G. Jam Sessions, but this one is very very fine, because it´s not mixing musicians from different  styles, 

Everybody is great here. Dizzy at the peak of his power. He still had very good chops even after he was 60. Milt Jackson is fantastic as ever, and that great tenor tandem Griff and Jaws as on so many occasions. Tommy Flanagan is wonderful, oh man that solo on Lover Come Back to me..... Nils Hennig and Mikey Roker also very very fine. 

For the typical Montreux Jam Sessions this one is sure one of the very best.

Thanks for the tip.

I like some of their duo recordings a lot (Black Paladins!). Others less so.

Now listening to:

Zo-Ko-Ma by Atilla Zoller and Lee Konitz.

Happy 90th Alvin!

Alvin Lucier - Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas (part II, numbers 5-8)

I saw him once in Exeter, back in the early 00s when he was a spritely septuagenarian.  One of the most fascinating things I have seen in my life.

I'd rate that as not too far off Black Paladins, well worth checking out

Maria Grand - Reciprocity [Biophilia Records]

Something a bit different brought to sax/bass/drums. Interesting.

[Peter Friedman]

[John Tapscott]

Marvelous solo piano set.
