Gheorghe Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 7 hours ago, Peter Friedman said: He is one of the greatest here in Europe. I have played with him...... 12 hours ago, jazzbo said: Dexter Gordon “The Monmartre Collection” Black Lion/Muzak Japan 2 cd set, disc 2 I’ve bought this material several times over the decades but it sounds its best in this set. You are right ! Sounds superb. For me it is wonderful, to hear the ride cymbal of Tootie Heath so well. This was the first Dexter Gordon I ever had. Imagine: I came from Free Jazz, Electric Jazz and got to Bird and Bop only after I had read about him in essays about Mingus or Dolphy or Ornette Coleman..... So when I had bought my first Bird, I was eager to listen to the other Masters of Bop, like Diz, Fats, Bud, and be sure, Dexter. He was living in Europe then and it was most easy possible to hear him live. So.....after hearing him the first time, I got this LP in the record shop.....ain´t that a cute story ???? 12 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Brew Moore – Brew Moore This is the only Brew Moore record I have heard that really explains the cult status of Brew Moore to me. C'est un corkeur. I have a certain weakness for Brew Moore since I had heard his tenor in some of the fastest company of Bop Greats that exists: With Howard McGhee, with Fats, with Miles, with Bird....., and he just kept his very Lester Young influenced style, never changed it, played all them incredible bop tunes at ultra fast tempos with his Lester Young influence. Really nice......even if I must admit I listen much more to more advanced musicians, but got idea to go back and listen to that incredible "Miles Davis - Last Bop-Session, Birdland Juni 30th 1950).... that will be music for the small hours. I can spin my stuff at a very high volume and make "scandal" since I have my own house (not bought....jazz musicians are poor! but left to me after my parents died). My sweethearts of my dreams, Princess Andreea Irina is often touring as a model, like me as a musician, and we can´t be together nonstop, and when we together.....she digs the music, we fell in love when she was in the audience when I played a gig..... !

jazzbo Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 It seems odd still to wake up and it’s warmer. Decided to start the day with a favorite. Discussing this album elsewhere led me to locate it on the shelves and replay it. I think it’s masterful. Slim at the height of his powers as an instrumentalist and of course as a vocalist. The personality and the verve of this music makes me glad to be awake and alive and attentive. “How High th Moon” is amazing here. I found myself imagining a nice big bowl of potato salad. Slim Gaillard “Rides Again” Dot/Verve cd Quote

Peter Friedman Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 P.J. Perry is a truly fine Canadian alto player.. A number of years ago , when visiting a friend in Canada ,we went to hear Perry at a local Toronto club. As I recall, Jimmy Knepper was in the quintet . The music was very good ,as is this album which has Kenny Barron on piano. Quote
