jazzbo Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 (edited) I'm expecting a cold, cold day. 10 degrees now, high of 16 expected, and snow starting at midnight, figures as we have an early morning appointment with Lucinda's surgeon early tomorrow morning. Life in winter in NE Ohio. I'm starting the day off with the stiff and punctuated hot dance music of Roger Wolfe Kahn on a Jazz Oracle cd. Kahn was an interesting character. A talented multi-instrumentalist he not only fronted bands but managed other bands and built numerous swanky nightclubs. On top of these accomplishments he was also a daring aerialist. The music here featured some top talent including Joe Venuit, Jimmy Dorsey, Eddie Lang and Aartie Shaw. He had a hit with is composition "Crazy Rhythm" and also made a film starring his band performing on a yacht, and possibly piloted the plane featuring aerial stunts in the movie.

jazzbo Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 On to the amazing Ms Betty Carter. Betty was so brave and bold and determined. She was an excellent band leader and nurturer of talent, and her distinctive, innovative vocal style has really won me over these past decades. The Roulette recordings were all live with an elastic and swinging piano trie behind her in great sound. Betty Carter “Round Midnight–The Roulette Years, Volume 2” Roulette, European cd. Released as two separate volumes, and together in a slipcase. I wouldn’t part wtih either volume; I also have three earlier US cds of this material. Quote

I have it somewhere but I doubt I listened to it more than twice. If I remember, I was a bit disappointed by the sound of Hank´s tenor and had the impression, that his lung problems had started since he sounds if he was very short of breath... But as I said, maybe if I don´t have anything better to do, I´ll give it another try.... 17 hours ago, jazzbo said: Alice Coltrane “Journey in Satchidananda” Impulse Japan SHM-SACD oh oh ! this might be something for ME !!!! I am so much into those more spiritual kinds of the music now, late Trane, Pharoah, Albert Ayler and Alice Coltrane I might love it. Seems to be a must for me. And .....Pharoah Sanders is.....maybe my most favourite of all of them....watch out my upcoming album with an original I dedicated to him ! Quote
felser Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Way better than I expected, includes strong covers of Tyner's "Contemplation" and Hubbard's "Little Sunflower", and a good Cedar Walton tune, "When Love is New", averaging 14 minutes each. Quote

"Thinking of Home" is one of my favorite Mobley releases. Yes, I hear a bit of the change in his sound due to his encroaching illness, but I just love the compositions and arrangements here. Right now I try sometimes but I can’t stay away from Ellington. These World Transcription recordings are in great fidelity and showcase some great compositions.
