As a kid, I remember seeing Ella on a daytime talk show -- Merv Griffin or maybe Dinah Shore -- while I was visiting my grandparents. This would've been sometime in the (mid?) Seventies. I recall how much my grandmother enjoyed Ella's scatting. I'd guess I was six years old or so, and I'd never seen or heard anyone scat before. A brief snippet of a memory. But vivid. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 A nice warm morning. I enjoyed a few minutes staring at our dogwood which is fully in bloom–a brief but beauteous few weeks when this hardy tree blooms. (It has been shortened by wind and snow storms twice in the last two decades!) I’m starting off with a cd that was sent to me inscribed by the artist herself. A wonderful surprise! I really like this disc. Claudia Acuna “Turning Pages” 300×300 14.6 KB Quote
jazzbo Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 A bit of funky Green. Grant Green “Green is Beautiful” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD Quote
jazzbo Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 I forgot how beautiful this music is. “Piano: Tom Jobim por Fábio Caramuru” Quote
jazzbo Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 Now listening to Eliane Elias “Everything I Love” Blue Note cd. Hard to believe this was released 25 years ago! Eliane Elias – piano, vocals Rodney Jones – guitar Christian McBride – bass OR Marc Johnson – bass Carl Allen – drums OR Jack DeJohnette - drums Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted May 3 Report Posted May 3 Joe Lovano - Tenor Time (Something Else Japan). Joe blowing on standards with a nice rhythm section. Jim Anderson captured this session beautifully at Avatar Studios. I have no idea why Blue Note doesn't put this out in their Tone Poet LP series, as it would make an excellent choice Quote
