So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

“Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts Vol. 2” Jazzology 2 cd set, disc 1

Love the tribute to Fats Waller episode.

Early jazz and Chicago Style jazz are comfort musical “food” for me. . . I’m leaning into that lately, need some comfort.

This is a really good record, perhaps the best by this band, all Lloyd compositions, and everybody shines, especially Chico.

I would rate this one higher than the impulse!s, actually.

Such a great series. (And a treasure trove for fans of Lee Wiley and other musicians that were active in the Condon circles.) I’m still on the hunt for three of them.

Dusting this one off as the Schuller centennial approaches:

Terrific record! 

Yes! One of the best bands Mongo ever had!

One track was omitted on the LP, Saoco. Conversation in Drums is the last 1 1/2 minutes of it. The complete track is on YouTube:

Feeling a little funky this cold morning and wanting to wake up a bit more. . . . Starting off with Joshua Redman “Freedom in the Groove” on Warner Bros. cd.

Hard for me to believe that it has been almost 30 years since this came out. . . I can remember buying it at Tower Records Austin.

Joshua Redman – tenor, soprano & alto saxophone
Peter Bernstein – electric guitar
Peter Martin – piano
Chris Thomas – acoustic bass
Brian Blade – drums

These 2 alto players work well together supported by an outstanding rhythm section  of Kenny Barron, Buster Williams, and Jack DeJohnette. A very good album.
