ghost of miles Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 ... full disclosure that I wrote the liner notes for this one. Quote
Gheorghe Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 I posted it yesterday when I heard the first CD. This night the second CD. Again: The best Sonny Rollins I ever heard which is near to the level I enjoyed on his live performances. But......in mod evident there is not much love here for Sonny when he was no more a Twen or around 30, but from his later forties on..... I like that kind of Sonny Rollins most. Never heard better Calypsos than here Carnaval and St. Tomaas, and on Swingtunes like Isnt she Lovely and Moritate he swings like the way, most of you who love the old bebop Sonny rollins might be delightet.

jazzbo Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 (edited) Another cold day . . . but no new snow, I’ll take it. Kai Winding ‘Rainy Day’ Verve Japan cd I bought this on a whim and because it was cheap and because I like Kai. Kai arranged this with a singing group and boy it’s a mid-sixties idea of mod hip jazz. Less interesting than but probably inspired by McFarland’s work. Fun listen overall, but not quite enough crackers to go with the cheese. . . . Probably not a surprise that the tracks without the vocal group are the best. Nice sound to warm up the stereo with though. 300×293 10.4 KB Followed by Elmo Hope “The Beacon & Celebrity Trio Recordings” Prevue cd Reissues two LPs: “Here’s Hope” and “High Hope,” featuring Hope compositions. 3/4 of the disc have Paul Chambers with Philly Joe Jones completing the trio. 500×435 40.7 KB Edited January 7 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 A fascinating cd from Lituhania–a duet between sax and contrabass violin, all Monk compositions. Dominic Duval / Jimmy Halperin “Monk Dreams” No Business Records cd Excellent sound. . . and playing. Beautiful cover model. 1000×1000 85.3 KB Quote
Peter Friedman Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 Blue Mitchell, Joe Henderson, Ernie Watts, Walter Bishop Jr., Stanley Gilbert, Doug Sides This album is basically disappointing to me. A couple of tracks I like, with good solos by the horns and the piano.But most of the tracks are not to my taste. Those are the tracks where Bishop plays a tinny sounding electric piano and Sisaye Green sings obligatory vocals behind the music that I find terrible. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 Monday Michiru “ENSO” Sonic Image cd Her latest. I hope that she will have a new one out soon. Quote

JSngry Posted January 7 Author Report Posted January 7 It's about time for me to make a single CD with all the Music Inn cuts, these and the two on Atlantic with the MJQ. Just call me Aunt Dora... Quote
Gheorghe Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 15 hours ago, HutchFan said: More from Joanne Brackeen: I first heard Joanne Brackeen in 1978 with Joe Henderson. Joe Henderson was and is one of my favourite tenorists and the big surprise was Mrs. Brackeen on piano, who sounded like someone who really loves McCoy Tyner, which is great, really great ! She was the surprise of the whole tour and very positively commented on "Jazz Podium". Some years later she was billed on a "Trumpet Super Night" and was billed on a Chet Baker-Joe Farrell group where she would have been on piano. Anyway there was three sets. The first would have been Chet-Farrell, the second Dizzy Allstar quintet, and the third Wynton Marsalis qintet. Before start the MC announced that Chet could not come because he remained locked in a camera de hotel în Roma. Whatever....... so it was a Quartet with Joe Farrell . But during the course of the set they also did some tracks of Brackeen Houston but sorry to say I didn´t atract my attention. Somehow it didn´t sound like "jazz" and without a drummer I´m lost.......

Gheorghe Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 So great ! Alice Coltrane with Ed Blackwell and Clifford Jarvis is tops. Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp, Cecil McBee and Jimmy Garrison, what else you can wish And Pharaoh´s Harvest Time my new favourite. The second live performance at Willisau ...... wonderful, Pharoah has been one of my first musical loves..... Quote
jazzbo Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 Finally got around to pulling this 2 cd set out for a listen. I love the ensemble portion on disc 2–always have loved the recordings of this tour, and this is one of the best as far as sound quality goes. I have dozens and dozens of Monk Quartet recordings, but there are fewer of these larger ensemble recordings. Thelonious Monk "Live in Rotterdam 1967"Lost Recordings 2 cd set disc 2 Quote
