jazzbo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 "The Complete Sonny Clark Trio" 24Bit by RVG Complete Series 2 cd set, Japan. Disc 1 Sonny Clark. . .sounding his most Bud Powell-like to me. I really like the sound of this edition. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 Maysa "Barquinho" Music from Brazil, 1961 . . . a fabulous singer. A fellow jazz board denizen turned me on to her and this is my first exposure, and won't be my last. Quote

Gheorghe Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 Not bad, but IMHO not among the best performances Quote

jazzbo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 John La Porta "Theme and Variations" Fantasy/XYZ cd Interesting music very much in the early Mingus and Macero mold. Quote

Maysa has several tracks in the anthology, The Women of Bossa Nova, volume 1, which is available on amazon. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 I have that one. Just hadn't gotten to the Maysa sides before. Quote
HutchFan Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) This favorite again:   11 hours ago, soulpope said: Beneath "Hells Bells" his finest Piano Trio recording ... Those two -- Hells Bells and Inc.1 -- are among Hicks' most exceptional outings, for sure. "Avojca" !!!  I'd probably put one other Hicks trio record up there at the top of the heap as well:    Edited January 14, 2021 by HutchFan Quote
Rabshakeh Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Anteloper - Tour Beats, Vol 1 (International Anthems, 2020) An interesting mix between acoustic trumpet and drums (Jaimie Branch and Jason Nazary) and electronic splicing. Now onto: Dexter Gordon - Tower of Power! (Prestige, 1969) I love how Barry Harris juggles the dual tenors. It might be my favourite performance of Harris'. The whole band just cooks, and he does great work holding it together and elevating it to the next level. Edited January 14, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote
jazzbo Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 Charles Mingus "Bremen 1964/1975" Sunnyside 4 cd set, disc 3 The opening disc of the 1975 show. Sound exceeding my expectations! Charles Mingus and his recordings were an early jazz fascination. In the last decade I have listened to his work less often, and I'm not sure why. But I can correct that. . . . Quote
