The Fritz Pauer Trio – Blues Inside Out (MPS)

Listening to this now for the first time after a recommendation in the MPS thread and it's absolutely top notch. One of the best piano trio records I've heard in ages. So exciting. It's like someone dropped Tyner, Evans and Garner into a blender. 

Thank you to whoever recommended it.

Are these two as good? If so, I'm not stopping at all. Still streaming the first, but the evening is young.

Two vocal jazz albums that I've just recently discovered and been enjoying very much:

 

Coincidentally, both of these are Soul Note releases.

It`s a pity Soul Note didn`t offer a seperate session to the very good Rhythm Section .... btw one year later they recorded (with Steve LaSpina in place of Ray Drummond) the excellent "3wayPlay" for Reservoir ....

Yes, that would have been a great idea.

I only have a passing familiarity with the Reservoir record.  Will give it another listen.

That's interesting. I would not in a million years have guessed that it was a Mal Waldron tune.

Features an excellent reading of "The Duke Ellington Sound Of Love" .... revered by "Gheorghe" (if I remember correctly) and rightly so ....
