 More or less for members familiar with the german jazz scene - great multiple CD box with some "fathers" of german jazz (modern and traditional)

A crossection of the second german Jazzfestival.

Ha, I bought this back in 1990 when it was released - waaay before I could bring myself to buying a CD player. 😄 (I resisted the CD trend for several years into the 90s)
All this because I figured this is music that I was highly unlikely to ever see the original releases of at affordable prices (and only part of the contents of this set were ever released on vinyl back in the day anyway). So I figured I'd better grab this set while it was available.

Recent BGO reissue. I like the album, and having enjoyed Edward Lear's nonsense poetry in childhood I think this track is especially cool:

My kids are big fans. Currently reading a poem a night to them as a treat after lights out.

Marty Ehrlich's Traveler's Tales - Malinke's Dance (OmniTone, 2000)
with Tony Malaby, Jerome Harris, and Bobby Previte

Tremendous.

That's a really great one. Both Ehrlich and Malaby at their respective best.

Yes. Definitely.

Crazy that it came out 25 (!) years ago.  Seems like only yesterday that it was new.

Haven't played this in years... A school friend's recently deceased journalist dad got a review copy even though he never reviewed jazz... So when he asked around whether anyone in the house wanted three jazz albums (this and twice 90s smooth jazz) I was around accidentally and said yes...

A nice one to fall in your lap. ;) 

It's a solid record.  I like Watts' soulful sound.

Irene Kral, the Band and I, with Herb Pomeroy. Such a clear strong voice, coasting over a big band. The Ernie Wilkins arrangements are punchy. IMG_5577.jpeg.b0215fe3b114bb6a8ae46d727efabcfe.jpeg

I have to think that Ernie has retired from the Jazz scene. He hasn't recorded or toured since 2020. I consider myself very lucky to have seen him with Quartet West several times. Such a great player. I once owned this but I can't seem to find it right now. I'm pretty sure I had the XRCD version.

Thanks, @Kevin Bresnahan:tup 

 

I'm glad you're enjoying it. I think it was released to kick off the "rebirth" of the Prestige label but I don't think too many titles were released on it afterward.
