Simon8 Posted April 30 Posted April 30 14 hours ago, Kevin Bresnahan said: Nat Reeves - Now In Time (The Side Door). Excellent new CD release issued to celebrate Reeves' 70th birthday. Killer band: Eddie Henderson (tp), Eric Alexander (ts), Steve Davis (tb), Orrin Evans (p), Reeves plucking those bass strings & Jeff "Tain" Watts (d). Nat is 70. Wow. It blows my mind that he's 70. I guess when you get to my age and realize that guys you've been watching up on stage for the last 35+ years were a bit older than you, it shouldn't surprise you that they're getting up there too. I quite enjoy it as well. Excellent tunes selection! Quote

gmonahan Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Harry James really did lead some good bands through the fifties into the early sixties. This one has some fine Ernie Wilkins arrangements. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 30 Posted April 30 (edited) There are some Quintet and Sextet sides here with Jimmy Rowles at the piano that are very cool, this disc is Capitol records material. Probably among the earliest Jimmy on record. Benny Goodman "1947" Chronogical Classics cd Edited April 30 by jazzbo Quote

ghost of miles Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Revisiting a seminal moment from my early encounters with Ellington after a friend recommended this then-recent release: Quote
jazzbo Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Cold morning again. Soon I’ll wish they were! Starting off with the third disc from the new Resonance Records 3 cd set from Yusef Lateef, “Alight Upon the Lake: Live at the Jazz Showcase.” I really like this release. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 1 Posted May 1 (edited) Boy it’s no fun walking the dog in rain when it’s 45! A short one by mutual agreement. I’m playing some of my very favorite Dexter Gordon. I’ve bought this music on LP and cd before and this is the best mastering I’ve heard, these Muzak Records reissues from Japan sound fantastic. Dexter Gordon “The Montmartre Collection” Black Lion/Muzak Japan 2 cd set, disc 1 (Not an exact image, couldn’t find one for the Muzak 2 cd collection). Edited May 1 by jazzbo Quote
