👍 

Recent CD??  Both rec. 1956.

Have both on japanese vinyl for many years (Trio Records)

Excellent music & sound quality.

 

[jazzbo]

Muzak Records Japan reissued Storyville and Black Lion titles on cd a few years ago and they seemed to have disappeared now. This was a two cd set that has both titles and each of the other releases (Monk, Powell, Gordon, Konitz, Webster, Griffin, Kessel, Jackie & Roy, Teddi King) sounded so much better on these digital releases than I have ever heard them on other cds or LPs.

 

Now playing

Marquis Hill “New Gospel” cd

I really like Hill’s playing and writing and this earliest one does not disappoint.

McCoy Tyner “Jazz Roots” Telarc cd

I’m not a big Telarc fan (especially not of their house “sound”) but this is solo piano and great performances.

I just dropped the pic in the box - highlighted it - pressed the link button - and put the address in.
It's too new to be in Discogs and nearly all of the online links went to either sellers or streamers,
so I just linked it to the Huelgas site.

Lovely new recording BTW.

I'll try that sometimes, thanks!

Feels like winter out there! But our dogwood snapped into bloom, and I heard an owl either greeting me or telling me to “Git” and that was really cool.

Starting off the day with:

Tom Harrell “Prana Dance” High Note cd

A great studio release by this musician who I am appreciating more and more. Hope his health is improving (I’ve heard he canceled a few shows lately for health reasons).

Marc Ribot  Y los Cubanos Postizos (Atlantic)

“The Complete Dinah Washington on Mercury Vol. 1, 1946-1949” disc 3

I’ve not listened to Ms Washington for a while. She was such a confident singer, and the backings here are always interesting to me.

Saw them live, very good indeed

[jazzbo]

Bill Evans “Tales–Live in Copenhagen” Elemental Music cd

Beautiful music.

[HutchFan]

Pat Martino - Live at Yoshi's (Blue Note, 2001)
with Joey DeFrancesco and Jabali Billy Hart 

Pat was such a badass.  And when I'm listening to his records -- like I am right now -- he still is.

That 'Yoshis' is a really good CD. Bonus for me is that my copy came from our good friend BillF's collection, bless him.

I think I must listen once to that original album of the tune. My discography of early Mingus is very scarce, I must admit. 

During my record buying years the "Pithecanthzropus Erectus" was a 1970 recorded album for the French America Label, and it was about the newest Mingus out than. Anyway strange, Until Mingus got his contract at Atlantic, all my Mingus albums was those "America" LP´s. Then of cours each year the new Atlantic album.
