So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Rabshakeh]

Larry Carlton – Strikes Twice

[Rabshakeh]

Barney Kessel – Bossa Nova

Another record I assumed would be better than it is.

So kitsch it could be a 90s band like the Cherry Popping Daddies overdoing it.

[Rabshakeh]

Fred Hersch – Songs Without Words (Nonesuch, 2001)

[John Tapscott]

[Rabshakeh]

Ralph Lalama & His Manhattan All Stars – Feelin' And Dealin'

First time listening to this one and I really knocked me out, which these Criss Crosses rarely do.

I'd be interested to hear more about Lalama. There's not much out there in the internet.

Working through them? It's an interesting body of work, including some later ones on other labels.

Saw a performance at QEH which was quite unlike anything else I had heard then or since. Fascinating

A real swinger with the SWR Big Band

I hadn't listened to them for ages. I forgot how good many of them are (although some are a bit snoozy). The decision to have the string players was a good one.

What are the later ones that you're referring too? I mainly know the ECMs.

Actually, listening through a couple of Best of the 1990s lists from randoms on the internet. They show up a fair bit, along with the endless Keith Jarretts.

Thanks. Which are your favourites.

I can use these as a threat if the kids don't behave.

A coat and tie? Fortunately, I never have to wear those any more.

Just a coat in my case. Ties are gathering dust..

CD7 - What a great sounding set this is, way better than previous issues I’ve heard (including my old JATP LPs). Really captures the live atmosphere too.
