It highlighted how little I'd really heard, this being a case in point. I saw him in a trio over Easter and his playing was superb, so controlled and without embellishment. Can you have saxophone haiku? Edited Tuesday at 08:26 AM by mjazzg Quote

Can you have saxophone haiku? That's where I heard about this one. It is streamable. A very nice record. Similar to e.g. News from the Shed, it is from before the point at which Butcher's concept had coalesced and his playing is different to how it would become. I really enjoy that. Nice to hear him from that early stage. I love to see Butcher and feel spoilt by how often he plays in Hackney. Quote
jazzbo Posted Tuesday at 10:25 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 10:25 AM Another soggy cool morning. Spring has really sprung though–it’s beautiful to see the lovely early shades of green on the thousands of trees around us. Starting off with this disc of Sarah Vaughan Mercury recordings. I really like Sarah. I want to love Sarah. I keep listening on and off trying to fall harder for her. “The Complete Sarah Vaughan on Mercury Vol. 4” disc 1 Quote

jazzbo Posted Tuesday at 03:52 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 03:52 PM 1024×1024 153 KB The Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab One Step 2 LP box Re-listening to LP 2 of this 2 LP set. It’s hard to explain what is the difference between this set and other releases I have. There is more “atmosphere” here and I think it’s because the background is so dark and silent that little details come in and help with instrument placement and dynamic texture. During “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down” I was able to hear a little more definition and heft to the fascinating notes that Dave Holland was supplying with inspiration. That’s among my favorite parts of the release and it was really intriguing to hear. This is a very interesting mastering and pressing. As a lover of “Bitches Brew” I find it worth the wait. Quote

HutchFan Posted Tuesday at 07:08 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 07:08 PM This is the last album by Lloyd's tremendous band consisting of Bobo Stenson, Anders Jormin, and Billy Hart. IMO, it's one of the high points in Lloyd's expansive discography. Quote

Kurt Anderson Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM Report Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM John Lewis, P.O.V. (Columbia) I think his small group records outside the MJQ are undervalued. I can't think of anyone outside of Count Basie who could do so much with so little. Quote
