Fitting to the VSOP thread I had opened and to my last posting about Ron Carters bass sound.

This one is my favourite from Carter´s late 70s. It came out right at the time I heard Ron with his own quartet. 

I love it, it´s some studio musicians too at things like the title tune, but there is that stellar group with Chick, Henderson and Tony Williams too. 

One tune, that nice waltz .... some years ago my late mother in law was visiting us for 2 weeks and sometimes, when my wife and her mother played rummy, I went into the other room , closed the door so I wouldn´t disturb the ladies and by the way I listened to this CD, and in came my mother in law and said, wow that´s beautiful, though she never had listened to jazz, more to dance music....

I forgot to post the album cover

Oh yeah.

 

I saw her with Joe Henderson in 1978 and she was fantastic. Maybe a slight McCoy Tyner influence, but really really unique. 

And again in 1983 with Joe Farrell.

I saw Joanne at the old ‘Cafe des Copains’ in Toronto and she was brilliant. I think it was with bassist Don Thompson and tenorist Pat LaBarbera. My guests were very impressed too and they weren’t into jazz.

CD version. LOVE the inner gatefold picture of the church under the roof of the cathedral!

Also love the inner sleeve design that makes it look like an old 5.25" floppy.

and of course, LOVE the music.
