Antonio Carlos Jobim “Songbook Instrumentals” 2 cd set

I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced copy of this for some time (I have a CDR copy) and finally did at Dusty Groove. Great set for Jobim fans.

This is streaming here: https://immub.org/album/songbook-instrumental-antonio-carlos-jobim

Seems rather "smooth Jazz" to my ears. Not bad at all, but certainly not something I would play too often or pay big bucks to acquire. This is selling for over $200 on Amazon.

I just love Jobim and find different interpretations very intriguing. I have the entire Songbook series and really appreciate the five discs; play them often enough to merit having them. This one eluded me, I had a cdr copy from an absent member, but found a barely used copy of this 2 cd set at dustygroove this week for 19 dollars. Quite happy. I don't stream; never has sounded as good to me without real re-investment, I'm not going to do that.

Right now

Joel Ross is one of the new artists in jazz I have been following with great interest.

Jackie & Roy “Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most” Black Lion cd

I am really enjoying revisiting Jackie & Roy. This one is notable as it has Barney Kessell on board for a few.

They're terrific.

I went bananas for J&R this year, bought about a dozen of their albums.  And I've enjoyed every single one.

Yes, I've become quite a fan. I used to think "the earlier the better" but some of their latest ones are killer!

I've come to the same conclusion.  They were remarkably consistent from beginning to end.

I keep trying to like Mal Waldron's albums. But other that his early Prestige dates, Mal leaves me cold, and that includes this one.

Enrico Pieranunzi Trio - Vol. 2 (YVP, rec. 1988)

How's this one?

It's very good.  I think Pieranunzi subsequently took his music to an even higher level (beginning in the 1990s), but Vol. 2 is still very strong.

Sonny Rollins play Walking Round in Women's Under Where, before that it was Gene Ammons roasting Mel Torme's chestnuts.
