So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Perhaps an appropriately named June Christy album. (I’m actually listening to this on cd, the second half of the two-LPs-on-one-cd that is the Capitol cd “The Song is June.”)

I used to think later Basie was somewhat inferior. Silly man. I could not have been more wrong, as I have been discovering this decade.

Still one of my favourite guitarists. Some very good  recordings as a leader. But aside, from the outstanding trios with Chet Baker and NHOP in 1979 Doug recorded several exellent other albums as a sideman. Do you know for instance "Love & Pieace - the music of Horace Parlan" (Steeplechase) with Bob Rockwell? If not, give it a try.

I need the boost that comes from Slim Gaillard’s competent silliness. A bonafide master musician . . .and natural entertainer. I never tire of his music.

Re-listening to this remixed cd, a very different mix than the original. I can like them both and I do, but boy is this mix different.

Something rather different.

Lockjaw has some very good solos.

This just came in from amazon. It completes my collection of all 25 of the AudioWave XRCD24 Blue Note titles.

Now I can work on finishing off my Japanese RVG editions of Blue Note titles. Only need about 40. . . but it may take the rest of my life–a lot of these are expensive.

One of the few german jazz greats of the Cool Era from Frankfurt  emigrating to the US but had not the expected breakthrough in the jazzscene. 

Re Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.  No breakthrough perhaps, but I find these to be very enjoyable albums. 👍

It´s one of my favourite latin albums from BN, together with KD´s "Afro Cuban" for example. I spinned it a lot about 20 years ago and even non jazz listeners liked it and on other occasions asked me to spin it again. Of course they didn´t know who was Charlie Rouse, but it appealed to them . 
I love Charlie Rouse´s tenor sound and phrasing very very much. I think this was his only BN album under his own name.

The light tone of Charlie Rouse a perfect vehicle here ....
