Blue Note classic ....

I prefer this album to 'No Room for Squares'

Now:

KD's best?  I think so.

 

Last night:

Disc 1:  Such a superb compilation.  It's terrific to hear Louis in so many contexts -- with different bands (King Oliver, Clarence Williams, Fletcher Henderson, his own Hot Five) and backing various singers (Maggie Jones, Bessie Smith, "Chippie" Hill).  . . . Armstrong's comprehensive sets are essential, of course.  But I feel like the variety here makes for an experience that's more like spinning a (big!) stack of 78s.

Milton Nascimento - Milton (A&M, 1976)
with:
- Milton Nascimento – guitar, vocals, arranger
- Toninho Horta – electric guitar
- Wayne Shorter – soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone
- Raul De Souza – trombone
- Herbie Hancock – piano
- Hugo Fattoruso – piano, electric organ
- Novelli – double bass
- Roberto Silva – drums, percussion
- Laudir De Oliveira – percussion

I think this is a masterpiece, beyond category.

Ronnie Cuber sits in on one cut.  I wish he'd stayed for more.  The bari-sax & flute combo sounds great.
