Tutty Moreno "Forcas D'Alma" cd. I love this drummer. His wife Joyce appears on this one too, and alto player Nailor Proventa is awesome here.

Earl Hines & Jimmy Rushing "Blues & Things" Master Jazz/New World cd

WOW. I forgot how great this disc is. Five masters who know what to do, and boy do they get it done. And the producer and engineer are right there with them, capturing all the nuances and presenting them to you gently, as if you were sitting fifteen feet away in awe.

Such a relaxed swing and careful yet happy delivery. 

WOW.

Or Earl Hines. Or Budd Johnson. Or for that matter Bill Pemberton or Oliver Jackson!

I caught that Eastern Rebellion group with Berg on several occasions - he was great in that context. 

Yep .... and Bob Berg very promising at that time ....

It's a good band, but perhaps not the best presentation. But this kind of music in NYC in 1968..a hard sell. And produced for the Japanese market to boot...part of a "New Stream In Jazz" series.

There could have been a more "hit you over the head" approach to the presentation and I'd not have minded in the least.

Alice Coltrane "Lord of Lords" Japan Impulse SHM-CD UCCI-9387

I have always loved Alice's orchestrations and this may be my favorite of the orchestral albums.

This one sounds so fresh and ahead of its time it’s unbelievable. I can’t quite believe it wasn’t recorded in 2019 by a 16 year old auteur on a laptop. Those strings sound so up to date.

This one, on the other hand, is definitely old, but evergreen in its own way, still inspired by your recent Hines/Rushing post:

Earl Hines and Budd Johnson - The Dirty Old Men (Black and Blues, 1974)

Andres Boiarsky - Into The Light (Reservoir). I picked this up during one of Tommy's sales and it's pretty good. I had never heard of the leader but it has Paquito D'Rivera on alto, Claudio Roditi on trumpet and George Cables on piano so I didn't think it'd be bad. :)
