Don't sleep on Chico Hamilton. It would be easy to, and sometimes you have to. But not always, no!

Cappy Lewis - Get Happy With Cappy

[Rabshakeh]

John Hicks – Impressions Of Mary Lou

Only my first time listening to this, but damn it is good. I love Hicks so I am surprised that it only came to my notice recently.

Came across this for $3 at a Half Price Books recently, leaving me in need of only volumes 4, 6 and 8.

This comparison speaks volumes for me. The Roland Hanna swings, has depth, and is an interesting album.

The Noah Haidu  lacks all 3 of the things mentioned above. Buster Williams is the one saving grace, but is not (in my opinion), able to save this basically very dull album.

It is COLD today, for May.

My listening schedule has been morphing lately as with the passing of my dog I’ve been waking up later and my wife has been waking up earlier and I don’t now generally get to dive into listening first thing.

Today we got to meet with one of Lucinda’s sisters and brother-in-law who live about 90 minutes away here locally for lunch, which was really nice. Lucinda’s sister Ann has been blind about 20 years and her husband Chris is the role model of a loving spouse and takes incredible care of her while also having a demanding job. I love these people.

Now I’m finally in front of the main system. I started off with

Keith Jarrett “New Vienna” ECM cd

 

and moving on to

Tom Harrell “Moving Picture” High Note cd

Interesting, many of these early Tyner dates on Impulse are not easy to find.

That's a good record. For some reason, Gene Roland's soprano playing reminds me of Lucky Thompson. And Kenton's obsession with not swinging in the traditional sense pays off here as Roland totally gets it. He sees both sides of this street clearly!

When I pull my Kenton holdings, this one will definitely be staying!

[jazzbo]

Yes, it's one of my favorites of the Kentons. I pulled a few others to listen to soon. . . been awhile since I have spun some Stan.

I won it in an Ebay auction.  One of my favourite albums.
