Drummer Pete La Roca’s only leader date for Blue Note, “Basra” (here the Japan cd UCCU-8110)

The quartet does an amazing job here but Joe Henderson seems inspired and is a real standout.

Right NOW: It took some prodding (if you paid for this set with PayPal I recommend contacting them if you haven't received a shipping notice) but my JATP Mosaic set arrived last night right after my wife came home and I shut off the system.

Playing the first disc right now. Sound is really good. No loudness war mastering here–I had to increase the gain in my system a lot. Lester is playing and all is right in my world.

Classic Jazz At The Philharmonic Jam Sessions 1950-1957, disc 1 of 10

Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis with Red Garland and Shirley Scott “Gentle Jaws” Prestige OJC cd

Just what I needed after some JATP jams!

 

 

Quartet sessions with either Red or Shirley on piano, from two LPs and one track from a compilation.

Pulled a few Lockjaw cds from the shelves. . .he has a unique sound and technique that I sometimes crave in batches of discs.

Ella Fitzgerald “Sunshine of Your Love” Verve cd

Although this whole disc shows Ella really “on” and sounding great. . . the title track is the show stopper!

Sound isn’t fantastic. This originated as an MPS and there are MPS cds out there. . . but they don’t always sound that good so I went with the Verve. May try the MPS one day.

Seems perfect for watching the snow fall through the bare branches out my (upstairs) window.

Saw this band here in Manchester a few years ago. An exciting evening!
