Been thinking of my Dad this week as I always talked to him about the news each evening his last few years. And boy is there news to talk about. So I’m starting today with this one:

 

A favorite of his, and something I’ve heard with him on and off over my life

I love the live albums of Woody Shaw. Carter Jefferson really was something. 
But as great as Larry Willis is, I like his later pianist Mulgrew Miller much more. It must have to do something with his touch, his sound and his lines or chords. And Tony Reedus on drums....

It would be hard for me to choose between Larry Willis and Mulgrew Miller.  Miller is certainly more forceful. I consider him to be one of McCoy's "heirs."  Willis, on the other hand, is more lyrical, subtle.  In the past, Willis talked about his indebtedness to Herbie.

I love all of them.

Easing into some Sun Ra with Gerry, Johnny, Max, Clifford et. al. I like that Williamson/Clark/Lewis rhythm section on the Hodges/Mulligan. Music to drink coffee to. Streaming the Ra, but notice the ESP set has some pdf's that look interesting. Probably worthwhile picking it up.

Now:

 

Earlier:

[Rabshakeh]

The Brian Setzer Orchestra – The Dirty Boogie

I hated this record at the time. I still hate it, but I'm surprised at how differently. There's a forgotten naivity to this garbage which I do slightly miss.

Now listening to something not terrible:

Borah Bergman And Roscoe Mitchell – The Italian Concert
