This is a great new release on Palmetto featuring wonderful Ellington and Strayhorn material with baritone sax, guitar, bass and drums and a woodwind ensemble. Excellent rich sound as well.

I never had heard something of Freddie Redd after his two BN records or so. 
I love his compositions, all of them, they are fantastic and on piano he is much better and much more interesting than many from his generation or later generations, they way he plays the piano, wow ! Beautiful and strong. 

 

But I never knew that he still lived and made music. Maybe I might purchase this eventually....

Wayne Shorter rides again ....

I never had seen this record. Did Wayne Shorter come back later to re-join the messengers ? Like his 70´s Birthday CD with all them stars from the old days?

There is one I think one with an obscure drummer and I intentioned to not mention it since I don´t like it at all, with the exception of some Tina Brook, some of the compositions and Freddie Redd´s piano, but the rest is a mess.....

Another cool morning. Fiona the dachshund let me go back to sleep a few hours, a welcome thing.

Re-listening to this release from this year. I really like it–it strongly reminds me of Dizzy Gillepsie’s “Portrait of Duke Ellington” from decades ago.
