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:

 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

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).

[Peter Friedman]

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.

[HutchFan]

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.
