Now playing:

Jackie & Roy - Like Sing: Songs by Dory & André Previn (Columbia, 1963)
This year, I've gone completely bananas for Jackie & Roy -- and I think this LP is one of the (several) high, high, HIGH points in their discography.  Stinkin' brilliant.

Roy is terrific, an essential ingredient in their cocktail, but -- like I've said before -- it's Jackie's voice that kills me.  And I'm not alone; none other than Billie Holiday loved Jackie's singing too.  In a Metronome blindfold test, Billie identified one of J&R's records and said,  "I believe that has my girl on it -- Jackie Cain.  She's the greatest for this sort of thing... ."

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.

I think I posted it some times ago. 

Fritz Pauer was my mentor. I was a shy teenager at hi school and his niece went to the same school and got me in touch with him (of course I knew before who he is). What an honour for me that this great musician said I got a lot of talent. He was the one who encouraged me to play and was the first one who let me sit in with some fast company when I was 18 years old.  
 

I had the occasion to see that trio on several occasions, and the hi light was when they played with Johnny Griffin. 

I miss him.
