Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass – Take Love Easy

This is another of the Pablos that is up for re-issue.

I am a lifelong Joe Pass sceptic but in the last month or so I seem to have flipped.

Thelonious Monk "Les Liasions Dangereuses" Sam Records 3 LP set, LP 1

I have the cd version as well. Great music. Barney Wilen with Thelonious Monk!

The second disc of Monk’s “Les Liasions Dangereuses 1960”–Wilen with Monk, the LP version–something I never expected to hear til this came out.

 

Awesome music and sound.

Stuck at my mother in law's, in rainy Devon, forcing the kids to listen to this mix of free jazz piano and tuneless vocals and accordion, whilst we play dominoes on the floor. Real character building stuff.

There's that whole run of Bill Lee and Bill Lee endorsed records that are basically Isthmian League, if that.

The two with Bill Campbell as vocalist, definitely. Leave me pining for the heights of mid table League One definitely

Eliane Elias “Eliane Sings Bossa & Saudade” Sony Japan cd

A soothing and sonically stimulating compilation. I love Elias.

Nice. FWIW, I met Donald Bailey, Jr. at an Ethan Iverson solo concert a couple of days ago in Albuquerque.

It's short (32 minutes) but I quite liked it on first listen. It's on bandcamp, if you want to listen.
