This one is really a treasure ! They sound wonderful together, and I think it was the only occasion Dannie Richmond (one of my favourite drummers) recorded for BN.

Once again.  I need to revisit my other Dave Douglas albums.  Ths album is a Jimmy Giuffre tribute, with the follow-up being a Carla Bley tribute.  I remember buying Chet Doxas' excellent Sidewalk Etiquette after hearing that he and his brother were working with Douglas, so I'm glad that the Greenleaf sale finally prompted me to buy both Riverside albums.

After reading all the negatives about vocalist Morgana King, thought it was time to listen to a singer (though in a completely different style) that I like.

[EKE BBB]

Paolo Alderighi - Rockin' in Rhythm (Music Center, 2006)

[duaneiac]

I go hot and cold regarding Tony Bennett.  Some times he is just too over the top and self-indulgent for my taste.  I like him better in a small group format and perhaps best of all in a setting like this -- just the singer and a pianist.  It's a good set including one of Duke Ellington's less well known tunes, "Love Scene", and a tribute to Bobby Hackett.

On to more Dave McKenna, or at least the hands of Dave McKenna

He really goes to town of "Nagasaki". 

[HutchFan]

McKenna is like a bear, isn't he?!?!  BIG and POWERFUL.

He's sorta like the Lazar Berman of jazz.  

 

 

I'm listening to more Duke Jordan:

with Mads Vinding and Ed Thigpen; from the same '73 sessions that produced Flight to Denmark

 

[jazzbo]

Miles Davis "Nefertiti" Mobile Fidelity Labs SACD

followed by
John Coltrane "Crescent" Impulse Japan cd

Followed by
"Stan Levey plays the Compositions of Holman, Cooper and Giuffre" Bethlehem Records/Solid Records Japan cd

Baritone Saxophone – Jimmy Giuffre
Bass – Max Bennett
Piano – Claude Williamson
Tenor Saxophone – Zoot Sims

That's so right about Dave McKenna being big and powerful.  What's nice about the second video posted above is being able to watch his hands as he plays and seeing just how nimble he was and what a terrific left hand he had.  It's also nice to be reminded of what a good songwriter Harry Warren was.  He seems to get short shrift when it comes to remembering the composers of the Great American Songbook

Now, another favorite pianist, Art Hodes:

Oh man, this Art Hodes sounds GOOD. 

I've never heard this LP before. Thanks for sharing.
