duaneiac Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I've grown to like this one more and more over the years. Nothing flashy, just a relaxed, cozy session of familiar and cherished tunes. It's kinda like if you had five really cool and talented friends who volunteered to play the music at you Christmas party this year. Mr. Ponder's solo acoustic version of "The Christmas Song" caps off the proceedings nicely and makes one appreciate just how lovely a melody that is. For those of you who simply hate Christmas music, there is a positive side to this CD just for you -- it only has 9 tunes, so it's finished before you know it. This same quartet recorded a session of regular material the day before this June 17, 1998 session. I have that CD too and should look it up and give it a listen.

duaneiac Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 This is the album recorded the day before the Jimmy Ponder Christmas album noted above. Some nice cover tunes and then, out of the blue, there was this PHENOMENALLY GROOVY tune!! As of today, only 14 people have listened to this track on YouTube, but believe me, for the best 6 minutes of your day, ya gotta listen to this! Nothing on the Christmas album comes close to matching that energy and level of groove. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 So nice to have the stereo warmed up again! Listened to Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" from the Columbia Mono Albums box set Miles Davis "Miles Ahead" from the Columbia Mono Albums box set Art Pepper "At the Village Vanguard" disc 3 from the Complete Village Vanguard Recordings box set Quote
Bluesnik Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 I love baritone, from Harry Carney to Mulligan and beyond. Quote
