Gheorghe Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 9 hours ago, Holy Ghost said: I´m not a Bird completists but I think some of the stuff was on a Spotlite Label LP when I was a teenager. You see, then when I had discoveded Bird (after Dolphy!) I wanted to have more Bird LPs. About the same time I discovered Jackie McLean, who remained my favourite voice on alto since then: Usually I listend to more demanding stuff of himm but last night I wanted to hear something more easy to listen to, since I was very tired: This is what I listend to: Quote
jazzbo Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 (Antonio Carlos Jobim) Nova Banda “Família Jobim” This is beautiful music. I appreciate these final Jobim albums more and more. 500×500 65.1 KB This is a differently sequenced version than: 300×300 12 KB Quote
jazzbo Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 The unique voice and styling of Shiela Jordan is a great fit for this morning. This Sheila Jordan album was 'lost" from 1960 on and is really nice. The notes say: This music was found by two collectors on a test pressing recorded in 1960. The rhythm section is unconfirmed. Sheila Jordan “Comes Love: Lost Session 1960” Capri Records cd. Possibly only 500 made? Quote
jazzbo Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Dexter Gordon Quartet 'San Francisco '82" Hi Hat cd Dexter Gordon on tenor saxophone, Kirk Lightsey on piano, David Eubanks on bass, and Eddie Gladden on drums. Keystone Korner, December 1982 There are so many good live Dexter recordings. This is among them, good sound quality and Dexter is energetic. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Duke Ellington “Jazz Party (In Stereo)” Columbia Jazz Masterpieces LP This is the only stereo LP I have of this title, and though it doesn’t quite match the sonic majesty of the OG Mono LP I have, it does sound pretty darned good for an LP that is probably digitally sourced (and early at that). Such magnificent music and such a masterfully engineered album. One of these days I’ll seek an early pressing of the Stereo title to partner with my Mono copy. Quote
Pim Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 highly enjoyable pianist. I feel ashamed I only got to know her just recently Quote

Maybe it is a bit short and if I remember right, there is an unacompanied ad lib solo where he quotes some Chrismas Songs. And than there is some radio commercial. In 1983 I had heard Dexter the last times. Some performances were very fine, others not so. Kirk Lightsey lives in Paris now and is playing much in Europe. Especially in Austria too. Had a long talk with him after a concert. Quote

Had a long talk with him after a concert. No commercial on this edition. And there are three seasonal songs, one Dexter alone, one as a medley to conclude the recording. Quote

Forget the nightlight, this dude will keep you up all night. Easy chair McLean is rare, but if you want to try to take it easy with Jackie, Swing, Swang, Swingin' may be his sleepiest, but I'm still on edge; I still want to know every note he plays! With that, have a good night, my friend. Now: The Fabulous Fats Navarro, Vol. 1. Japanese Mini LP RVG. Both volumes, Japanese Mini RVG's Quote
