I´ve been listening a lot to Woody Shaw´s live recordings in the recent weeks. 

I liked the saxophone of Carter Jefferson. I hadn´t known him before, since he was not anymore in the group when I saw Woody for the first time. And I mostly heard him with Tony Reedus on drums, who was fantastic. 

From the group with Carter Jefferson I think I have on from live in Basel

Something to live for...

Disc 1

[jazzbo]

Hasaan Ibn Ali “Reaching for the Stars: Trios/Duo/Solos”

Pretty amazing how this obscure pianist’s catalog has grown from 1 lp to 4 releases in the last few years. This one has “okay” sound and very interesting performances.

Yes, this is perfect way to hear all Savoy and Dial tracks, just his most important studio work in his most creative period. And to hear them chronologically all master takes, not all those alternate takes and stuff. 

Before that I had the double LP "Savoy Mastertakes" but didn´t have all the Dial tracks since those "Spotlite" LPs were well meant but those many alternate tracks got on my nerves.....

Bobbi Humphrey – Live At Montreux

This surprised me, as I'd only ever heard Humphrey's studio records before.

I have the oringinal LP, it´s maybe my favourite Wes Montgomery, with Miles ´ rhythm section plus Griff, just a dream team.

Eugen Cicero – Romantic Swing (Eugen Cicero Plays Franz Liszt)

I remain fascinated by this kind of stuff, and it's equivalents into the 1980s (at which point jazz schlock as an adult oriented genre seems to peter out). I have a good idea of the sort of solid burgher who might have bought this sort of record, a european equivalent, I guess, to the US population buying up any orchestral record with "bossa" in the title at the same time. But what about those listeners around the sides? Were there children to whom this was their first experience of jazz as the only non classical record in the house? Classical musicians for whom a chance encounter with Mr. Ciceu's work in an academic library was a vital step in a different direction?
