I needed some soothing. So I spun two discs from soothing singers.

Eliane Elias "Love Stories"

Then 
Helen Merrill "Lilac Wine"

That worked! Now I need something more bracing. . . 

Thelonious Monk "Live at the It Club" disc 2

(I am finally getting used to the remastered It Club recordings, after decades of listening to them on LP with Columbia reverb painted on heavily).

Brew Moore with a variety of sidemen.

Brew is known to have said (paraphrase) "If a tenor player does not play like Prez he is wrong".

Most of the other tenor players influenced by Lester Young were also influenced to a lesser extent by Charlie Parker. The other exception is Paul Quinichette.

Hard to go wrong with such a killer band: Joe Henderson, Kenny Garrett, Steve Nelson, Mulgrew Miller, Christian McBride. This album kicks ass :)

I heard it first in the 70´s on a brown Bellaphone album from the series "Jazz Tracks" featuring this session (with the tracks splitted in 2 Parts, maybe from 78 RMP sides. 

Great ! My aims was to play Dizzy Athmosphere at that tempo, really a challenge

I remember when Mulgrew toured that album - no Henderson and McBride but Nelson was in the lineup as well as Wallace Roney. Good stuff.
