So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[JSngry]

Sorry, those were separate items. A question about Byas and then a fantasy about the tapes.

Lee Konitz - Alone Together

[Peter Friedman]

George Benson “The Other Side of Abbey Road” A&M Universal Japan SHM-CD.

This is an odd record. Has its moments!

Stan Turrentine “Cherry” CTI Supreme Blu-Spec CD

 

 

I’m definitely in the mood for this one! And it delivers. Milt Jackson is featured, and on occasion Cornell Dupree’s Telecaster steals the show.

I have that somewhere, unlistened to for years. I should dig it out

For me the Konitz/Haden duo recording "Sweet & Lovely" works even better ....

I find that I tend to react to it based on my mood (last night I was definitely in the mood for it), but I do think it is very strong. It is one of the few places in which I react well to Mehldau, who is otherwise one of my least favourite jazz musicians.

The ever-intriguing Hermeto Pascoal.

“Natureza Universal” disc 2

I liked Mehldau for a few albums, saw him a couple of times but I certainly haven't missed listening to him

I don't know that one, thanks for the tip

Whenever I think of Brad Mehldau, I always think of this 2004 Live In Tokyo. I saw this recording live, and although I felt the entire show was a bit redundant, the encore, "River Man," was so wonderful that I was stuck in my seat with emotion. However, when I listen to it again on CD, I am not so moved. I am not so interested in the subsequent Mehldau outputs. Maybe it was because I was young and foolish, or maybe I am not in the right mood for his music.

Bob Dylan “The Bootleg Series Vol. 13: Trouble No More 1979–1981” disc 5

Another fascinating box set. This band cooked.

More Hut over here.

What an enjoyable record this is. Rare to have a solo horn record that has this sort of gutsy idiomatic feel.
