This night was a hot one! Didn’t sleep as well as I’d like but 's alright.

Starting off with a disc I’ve neglected long enough, Horace Tapscott “Dark Tree,” the second disc.

👍 with Don Thompson and Terry Clarke - such a great trio.

Now:

Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra - Allégresse (Enja). This is my favorite recording by this phenomenal band, who I still try to see whenever they come to Boston. The opening track, "Hang Gliding" is just perfect in the way it evokes the feeling of flying through the sky.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Planet Jazz - In Orbit (Sharp Nine). This was the debut recording for Planet Jazz. The also cut a live date for the SmallsLIVE label that I never did pick up. This incarnation of Planet Jazz is Joe Magnarelli (tp), Grant Stewart (ts), Peter Berstein (g), Spike Wilner (p), Neal Miner (b) and Joe Strasser (d).

Scott Hamilton plays in top form here.

No hint of Coltrane or Rollins in his tenor work. No long lines of  8th notes played rapidly. Just a lovely sound with beautiful music from the heart.

I know it's been said many times before, but it's still mind-blowing to me that Evans would be gone just a few weeks after these recordings were made at the Keystone Korner.  He doesn't sound like a man who's approaching death.  But he was.
