jazzbo Posted July 19 Posted July 19 (edited) This is quite an interesting disc to start the day: swing, with a bit of a modern edge in arrangement, a bit of a relaxed feel and warm clear sound. Anita O'Day features as well! Benny Goodman “In Stockholm 1959” Phontastic cd Edited July 19 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted July 19 Posted July 19 An interesting cd from Italy with Brazilian and Latin pop music in a jazzy vein. Some nice gutiar! Ligia França “Mundo Melhor” Caligola cd Quote

BFrank Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Live work from Hanrahan and Bruce is something I've wanted to hear for years. There's also a video on YouTube which is professionally produced with excellent audio. As far as I can tell, it's a streaming-only release. If you're a fan of this collaboration I highly recommend it. Kip Hanrahan - Composer, Producer & Band Leader Jack Bruce - Bass Guitar & Vocals Carmen Lundy - Vocals Leo Nocentelli - Guitar Don Pullen - Piano & organ Alfredo Triff - Violin Chocolate Armenteros - Trumpet Chico Freeman - Tenor Saxophone & Backing Vocals Robbie Ameen - Trap Drum J.T. Lewis - Trap Drum & Backing Vocals Milton Cardona - Congas & Vocals Anthony Carillo - Congas & Vocals Richie Flores - Congas & Backing Vocals Video here: Live in Stuttgart 1991 Quote
jazzbo Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Joel Ross “Kingmaker” Blue Note cd The debut album as a leader by this excellent vibes player and composer and band leader. With Immanuel Wilkins (alto saxophone), Jeremy Corren (piano), Benjamin Tiberio (bass), and Jeremy Dutton (drums), and guest vocals by Gretchen Parlato. This disc was where I discovered the playing of Immanuel Wilkins, who has become one of my favorite current saxophonists. Quote
HutchFan Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I have the LP, but I'm not at home. So I'm streaming it instead. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 21 Posted July 21 I have this on Catalyst Records vinyl, but I'm listening to a new cd reissue on Good Time cd that sounds far cleaner! I love all the Bartz from this time period--a funkiness that carries me along for the ride. And this one has a Syreeta appearance as well, a good thing. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Now on to a new expanded Sun Ra reissue. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” Strut 2 cd, disc 1 Quote
jazzbo Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Helen Merrill is 97 today! Sometimes the good don’t die young. “Helen Sings, Teddy Swings” Catalyst LP Quote
