Paolo Fresu - Incantamento (Plays the music of Tino Tracanna) (Blue Note Italy). Part of a 5 CD series of sessions Fresu did with his quintet with each disc featuring original compositions from each member of the band. This is Tino Tracanna's disc. This is great jazz. All 5 of these CDs are well worth hearing.

How old is this set?

Don't know Fresu outside of the record he did with Carla Bley, but that one was great!

I don't know Fresu's work as a leader either -- but I love his playing with Aldo Romano's quartet. Specifically: 
- Ritual (Owl, 1988)
- To Be Ornette to Be (Owl, 1989)
- Dreams & Waters (Owl, 1991)

The album with Bley/The Lost Chords is truly magnificent. He displays a lyricism that inhabits Bley's writing in a most poignant manner. 

One to add to the list. :tup

The set was released in 2016. I think all the material was recorded between 2005 and 2007.

Also available as individual CDs by Blue Note Italy around the earlier dates (at least that’s how I got mine).

My absolute favorite Romano CD with Fresu on it is "Canzoni" (Enja). Romano leads the quartet through a set of Italian ballads, with Fresu playing all of them with a Harmon mute. Beautiful playing by all and a CD that I often spin at while eating dinner.

Prompted by the @bresna post above re: Paolo Fresu:

Aldo Romano - Ritual (Owl, 1988)
with Franco D'Andrea, Paolo Fresu, and Furio DiCastri

 

I thought I had this one in the racks but I'm not finding it on my work PC's hard drive so I either forgot to rip this one or I didn't get it after all.

All this Paolo Fresu talk got me to pull up this one next.

Cosmo Intini Jazz Set - My Favorite Roots (Timeless). Bartz plays well here too. All in all, this turned out to be one of those, "Hmm... the band looks interesting... I wonder what this is" that led to, "Yeah, this was a good pick up". :)

About the only negative here is that I am not a fan of the bass sound. It's almost annoying at times. Discogs says it was recorded in 1990, but it sounds more like a 1980 bass sound.

I'm not familiar with that one.  Thanks for the heads-up!  :tup

Pharoah Sanders “Welcome to Love” Complete Edition, Timeless/Solid Records Japan

 

 

Continuing the mellow music for today.

 

It´s a wonderful album, I love it. Like all great tenor saxophonists, Pharoah was a great ballad player. When I heard him for the first time live in the early 80´s he also featured a ballad. If I remember right, on this one is also "I want to talk about you", the Billy Eckstine tune that Trane also recorded . 

Much later my wife bought me the Max Bollemann-Book (the sound engeneer form Timeless records) and I was surprised what horrible story was about the surroundings  when this record was made......
