So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Revisiting an old and trusted friend.

[EKE BBB]

Despite the somehow excessive vocals by Billy Banks and Chick Bullock, some of my favourite recording sessions, ever.

I saw all three in Göttingen, but not together!

Carmen McRae "Singles & Albums Collection 146-1958" disc 1

I picked this up as it has Stardust and Decca singles material I don't have elsewhere. I love Carmen more and more as time goes by. What a controlled voice!

"The Complete Vee Jay Lee Morgan-Wayne Shorter Studio Sessions" Mosaic Records box set, disc V

Humair is the only one I've seen - in Phil Woods' European Rhythm Machine.

i like Florence's writing, though my friend Bill Kirchner finds it very white bread. I see what he means, but I still like it. And it's a very good group of players. I'm especially fond of "Magic Time." Nick Ceroli was a fine drummer.

I was quite surprised to see that Florence's writing was being used in a lot of those WorldPacificJazz poppish-jazzy records from the middle 1960s. And also in Buddy Rich's first few records of his 1960s band.

The guy certainly earned the right to his perspective.

He also arranged some of Martin Denny's "ghost" LPs from the 1960s.

Daniel Humair was November 7, 2009 with the late Jens Winther (tp) from Denmark at the Göttingen Jazz Festival. After the gig he met his friend, the Pop Art artist Jim Dine, who was also in Göttingen at that time.

His writing for sax soli always caught my ear. He was Julie Andrews' music director and did an album with her and his band called "Jewels" where she served as a wordless vocalist sort of ala Johnny Hodges.

[Peter Friedman]

When I first bought this on LP long long ago when first released, I just considered it ok.  

Over time I have come to like it a great deal. It is now one of my favorites by Jackie.

"Abercrombie Quartet" ECM cd

I'm reminded of Garcia again. Especially Garcia of the end of the 'seventies, this time frame. I like the way Mraz is recorded here and on ECM--he is not so well served on other labels later.
