Yes this is fantastic.  Maybe the Bud I reach for most often.  Sound quality of the “who cares” variety.  Just a joy to listen to.

Manfred Eicher is putting you in his will as we speak!

Joe Lovano / Greg Osby "Friendly Fire" Blue Note cd

Haven't played this one in a few years, and whenever I revisit something after that long I notice how much better it sounds because the system sounds so good now.

What a band. I forgot how good Cameron Brown can be on bass, and Jason Moran and Idris Muhammed bring a lot.

Oh yes, than it is the best of all, though it´s hard for me to choose. The "Tempest at Colosseum" is also top and was my favourite until I discovered "Under the Sky".  On the other hand, the studio album from the same time as "Under The Sky" is a lame duck for me. 

By the way: You should also get Sonny Rollins "Under the Sky", it´s incredible !!!!

This was my first Art Tatum album in the 70´s, it had another cover but I like it even more than the Verves. The "Begin the Beguine" is outa sight ! 

Oh yes wonderful, the rhythm section is tops, the album is very fine, though I alsways found that J.R.Monterose has a bit a strange way of phrasing. I´m no collector, but I think I have another one where he plays with Kenny Dorham. 

For a short while in the '50s JR's abrupt, hocket-like way of phrasing was known as "the Peck." Shafi Hadi/Curtis Porter was another player who was so inclined. The Peck was more commonly used by horns in ensemble passages, e.g. by Donald Byrd and Jackie McLean with George Wallington. IIRC JR's use of The Peck was rather short-lived.

Dick Hyman - Plays Harold Arlen: Blues in the Night (Musicmasters, 1990)

Hyman made a series of solo-piano albums for Musicmasters dedicated to GAS composers.  They're all excellent, but I like this one best.

I have to say it sounds really good in comparison to the “Lifelines” earlier release and bootlegs.

If I were to compile a list of my favorite piano trio albums, Groovy would definitely be on it.
