Does anybody sing? There are certainly options there!

[jazzbo]

No.

Right now, a singer's disc.

Claudia Acuna “En Este Momento” Marsalis Music cd

In this moment I am really enjoying this Acuna cd. Okay, they’re all really good, this one is just right for this moment. The system sounds fantastic!

A wasted opportunity, perhaps.

[jazzbo]

I don't feel the session needed any vocals. I like it.

[Peter Friedman]

I agree, no vocals necessary, "Night Mist" is a terrific session just as it is.

 

Now playing:

Dick Haymes was a fine singer, though overshadowed by Frank Sinatra.

Too bad, in my opinion, that neither Haymes or Sinatra was ever recorded with a swinging small jazz group.

[JSngry]

How often was "need" the only thing involved in making a Pablo record?

Bags & Cleanhead swapping blues choruses with Jaws and Sweets commentating might have made for an even better record. Or not.

It's a moot point now. They're all dead, so...missed opportunity.

[jazzbo]

Personally I think it's possibly a better album without any singing. I really like it just as it is.

Right now

Could you explain what the "Plangent Process" is?
Thanks!

There is the Blue Note release of Sinatra live in Australia(?) backed by a Red Norvo small group...iirc they basically, but not exclusively, limn the original arrangements. But it swings well enough!

And then there was this outlier...

OK, so it really puts the sound thru the process! It was more than I expected. Thanks again!

Tiny Grimes - Tiny In Swingville (Prestige Swingville). Nice date that... swings.  Which is a bit odd given the band, which isn't made up with players typically associated with swing.

Huh?

Have you checked out Profoundly Blue on Muse with Houston Person?

It's pretty amazing the results. I've compared the Erroll Garner releases on Columbia and Octave pre-and post-Plangent. The brain just likes the post-Plangent more. . . seems more "real." And that Getz-Gilberto. . . wow. I think more than just the Plangent Process is used, there's a bit of a remix and EQ. . . but wow.

I love that album. I still can't believe that it's never been on CD anywhere. Not even the Andorrans touched it.

My comment about "Tiny In Swingville" was about the others in the band, not Tiny. Jerome Richardson is not a player I think of when I think swing-style Jazz. Yeah, he swings, but not that kind of swing.
