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

Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 Harry Allen is a really good saxophonist on the scene today who doesn't seem to get mentioned very often. I think it's because his swing stylings, much like Scott Hamilton before him, isn't "current" so he's somewhat dismissed as a Prez/Getz/Zoot copycat. I dig the guy a lot and listen to him pretty regularly. I'm now digging one of his Japanese RCA releases titles, "Isn't This A Lovely Day", with Hank Jones on piano, George Mraz on bass & Kenny Washington on drums. It certainly makes this a lovely day. I miss seeing Harry play live. Before Covid, he used to play at Jocko's Jazz Club (now called Arthur's House of Jazz) in Methuen, MA pretty much once a year. One time he brought Ken Peplowski and another time he had Scott Hamilton up on stage with him. Those are some fond memories. Quote
