So Bruce Soord is now in the remix/remaster biz, like his friend Steven Wilson?

[jazzbo]

All I know is that he does that on this release. No real idea who he is to be honest, haven't looked him up.

Starting the day with a second listen to one of the recent Mal Waldron releases, this time a trio recording.

The Jazz Crusaders – Lighthouse '69

Esperanza Spalding – Songwrights Apothecary Lab

Second listen to this. The only thing that I can find in its defence is that it is inadvertantly quite funny that music that is this rubbish should nonetheless come packaged with such preening self regard.

Now, more of that band that plays the blues. . . .

“The Complete Woody Herman Decca, Mars and MGM Sessions (1943-1954)” Mosaic Records 7 disc box set, cd VI

 

I’m glad I am re-visiting this set, great music, great sound. Last disc to revisit. I understand those who are not crazy about Woddy’s singing–I used to be among them. But I’ve fallen for his phrasing and his real jazz sensibility in vocals–to me they are closely alligned to his excellent clarinet and sax playing. And the microphones really bring out his tone very well.
