So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Fiona the dachshund has decided that this is the first COLD morning. Feels welcome to me!

Starting off with
Tina Brooks "Minor Move" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD.

I wish they had used the original Japanese cover. But this sure sounds better than the last release!

Strange, so much as I liked "Back to the Track", I didn´t find much stuff for me on the "Waitin´ game". 
Somehow like I don´t like the before unissued album they made with Freddie Redd. I love his compositions, his playing and his choice of musicians so much and was so disappointed by I think it´s titled "Redd´s Blues", with an obscure drummer, who doesn´t fit in, and the ensemble playing and the horn solos are also a mess.....

Well Wilbur Ware and Philly Joe are a strong rhythm section and Johnny Coles isnt that bad either. Here we seem to disagree

Marshall Gilkes, WDR Big Band – Köln (Alternate Side Records, 2015)

Mike Murley is one of my favorite (living) tenor players. This is a good album with some particularly fine tenor work by Mike.

Sal Nistico and Frank Strazzeri in top form .... btw feat a great version of "Equinox" ....

I'll have to check that one out! Love Nistico & Strazzeri both.

[jazzbo]

It's a good one! I had this on cassette and transferred to cdr for a long time, part of trading years ago with Danny D'Imperio. Sounds better on this Fresh Sounds release.

I particularly like the way Holman arranged the version of "If You Could See me Now"

I remember that Johnny Coles is on it, but as much as I like Johnny Coles own album for BN,  I think I remember I didn´t likee it so much on that Tina Brooks album. And maybe I had my things with never before issued contemporanous CDs under the BN label name. 
Like I don´t really like Jackie McLeans Tippin´ the Scales, and prefer the more far out goin albums he did at that time.
Or Lee Morgan´s "Rajah" somehow is not up to what I used to hear from Lee Morgan, 

Let´s say, maybe because BN made too many records and then also issued originally rejected material. 
I like one good album, no alternative tracks and so, just the music that was recorded and put out then....

But it´s mostly possible I have this listening habit, since I don´t have much time left to listen once a while to a record, that means I mostly listen to what is a regular album or even better a live recording...

Not cold this morning, but quite cool, especially with the heavy dew. A REAL relief up here in the listening room that has been stuffy too long.

Starting off with a new arrival:

Bob Dylan “The1974 Live Recordings” Columbia 27 cd box set, disc 1

[jazzbo]

Grateful Dead “Friend of the Devils: April 1978” 2024 box set, Third show, disc 2

God bless the Plangent Process!
