Still in heavy rotation at my house:

Tamba Trio (RCA Brazil, 1975)
So groovy & musical.  Luíz Eça should be more well-known in jazz circles.  (Although you could probably say that about half the musicians in this thread. ;))

Larry Willis - Sanctuary (Mapleshade, 2003)
A terrific album.  Larry Willis' musical spirit often reminds me of Bobby Hutcherson's.  Both men have a similar soulful sophistication, warmth, and openness.

Started the day off with the breezy sounds of trombonist Vittor Santos “Renewed Impressions/Renovando As Consideracoes” cd on Adventure Music. I love this cd!

Followed by the Verve Acoustic Sounds series Japanese SHM-SACD of “Duke Ellington & John Coltrane.” Sublime sounding disc, music that I have cherished a few decades.

 

 

Followed by
“Chico Buarque Songbook Vol. 6” Lumair cd

Bill Evans “The Sesjun Radio Shows Vol. 1” Solid Records Japan cd

 

 

From the All Music Guide:

[i]The first five tracks are from a duo tour with the phenomenal bassist Eddie Gomez, who spent over 11 years with the pianist. The absence of a drummer (Marty Morell was evidently not a part of this tour, though he played with Evans into 1974) gives Evans a more intimate sound; Evans seemed to achieve an incredible E.S.P. playing with the talented Gomez.

Following a buoyant opener, “Up with the Lark,” the duo’s moving setting of Evans’ bittersweet, lyrical “Time Remembered” is a reminder of the pianist’s total mastery of ballads, as is his equally touching “The Two Lonely People.” There are plenty of fireworks in the pianist’s “T.T.T. (Twelve Tone Tune)” as the two musicians use his dissonant theme as a jumping-off point for brilliant improvisations. The 1975 set adds drummer Eliot Zigmund, who spent four years with Evans. In these trio selections, the pianist introduces each theme alone, though it is a diverse five-song set. Evans’ upbeat “Sugar Plum” showcases the leader extensively, with the rhythm section coming in several minutes later. There were several modern pop songs that drew the pianist’s attention, including Bobbie Gentry’s “Mornin’ Glory” (which incorrectly lists Glen Campbell as co-writer), which Evans transformed into a potent jazz ballad. Evans’ “T.T.T.T. (Twelve Tone Tune Two)” is even more demanding than its predecessor, with the trio navigating its pitfalls with ease in a wild, breezy performance.
