Good choice

This one again. Just such a great combination of soloist/writer/arranger and orchestra, wonderful music and playing, and showstopping sound.

Omar Sosa with the NDR Big Band featuring the arrangements of Jacques Morelenbaum, "es: sensual"

Sounding nice, John!

Like that title: "Manne-Splainin'"

Interesting jam session material, with pluses (Cole, Jacquet -- both in warmly inventive modes, and Jacquet here not into honking and screaming) and minuses (Jack McVea, with his penchant for whistled-out high notes). Particularly choice is a long exchange between Cole and Les Paul, where each man tries to amuse or even baffle the other with figures that were "far out" at the time -- the pattern being that Paul leads things off and Cole imitates and modifies in in a more musical, less tricky direction what Paul has proposed. It's certainly fun for the audience, and one feels that Paul and Cole were having fun too.

Is this the fist JATP concert you're talking about?  IIRC Les Paul was there because Oscar Moore couldn't make it.

Ruby Rushton - live stream from Ronnie Scott's. 

Very impressed, their albums have seemed a little undercooked, this isn't

McVea ruins it for me, which is a shame.  

Now playing:

Love your recent Ellingtonian spins, EKE.  

 

 

This again for me:

[sonnyhill]

Tomeka Reid Quartet - Old New (Cuneiform)

Tomeka Reid, cello
Mary Halvorson, guitar
Jason Roebke, bass
Tomas Fujiwara, drums

Nice, but I liked the self-titled debut album much better.

Ooh. I don't know this one. It looks like a lot of fun.  One to check out.

I'm a total sucker for these sort of match ups.
