Art Farmer - Foolish Memories (L+R)

[Peter Friedman]

Next up:

Recorded live at the Village Vanguard in 1993

[Rabshakeh]

What an interesting record. As is often the case with split leader dates, this had completely passed me by. The Sonny Rollins tracks are obviously pretty eye opening, similar to what he would do on the record with Hawkins.

Great photo ! 

Nightmares, as unpleasant they may be, sometimes are sources for composing. 
I had a nightmare dis year and when I woke up I had that  melody in my head, it became one of my new compositions. When I´ll have enough new stuff togehter, we might record our next album....

I must hear that band. Is there only Mozaic collections for sale, or any individual CD too ? To have Liebman and Foster, some of my very very earliest favourits (caught them both with Miles) so it´s natural they became my heroes....

Starting off the cool morning listening to this one again. Pass was such a focused and expressive player. And I feel the connection to Bird in this recording.

Shorty Rogers And Bill Perkins – Live At The Royal Palms Inn - Volume 5

A nice record that I will revisit. A lot of effort has gone into the arrangements and the two leads play well. Shame about the bass.

Donald Byrd “Places and Spaces” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

Ordered two copies of this one by mistake. Probably my least favorite recording reissued in the series, but I must admit it sounds damned good in this edition.

 

 

The Mizell Brothers production here seems fresher and more energetic than some other collaborations. Of its time, not timeless, but an interiguing presentation.

Whilst I don't often post my Mann listens, with time, Herbie Mann has been occupying more and more of my listening space. Such a vast, varies and approachable back catalogue, which is almost always fun.

John Mayall “Jazz Blues Fusion–Performed and Recorded Live in Boston and New York”

Freddy Robinson, Blue Mitchell, and Clifford Solomon make this a great record. I saw Mayall with Blue Mitchell the next year at the University of Chicago when he was taped for one of those late night concert shows, in a double bill with the Ohio Players. A great night!

I used to listen to this quite often and wondered why this band never toured. With Osby's rep these days, I doubt Lovano would ever consider doing that today.
