What music did you buy today?

[JSngry]

Nervous?

 

[kh1958]

According to an online review, his "warbly" vocals are on one song. It will be okay. I ordered one too.

"“Darn That Dream” features a warbly Konitz vocal"

 

 

[JSngry]

I've got a "copy" from a friend which in turn prompted an actual purchase, so I've heard that cut, and maybe one other with vocal. It's not even singing the song, it's more like Lee playing what he would play anyway, just with his voice, no real words. Maybe in anticipation of when he can no longer blow? Or maybe back to his roots, of singing Lester Young solos. Either way, it wasn't creepy or anything,.

As far as "warbly", hell the whole thing is warbly. Lee is, what, 150 years old now? How is he not gonna be warbly? But it's a sweet warbliness, a totally Lee warbliness.

Warbly, not wobbly.

O.K.

I heard him in person where several of these "vocals" were presented. I found then quite distracting - i.e. I didn't care for them.

[JSngry]

If you have a programmable CD player, you can skip the cut(s?) with them (the vocals/"vocals") present,. There's not that many, really. His playing is fine. Fine and warbly!

[kh1958]

He is 89, I believe. Is  he the last  performing Tristanoite?

[JSngry]

Ted Brown, still around, right?

Yup, wee are friends on Facebook.

[xybert]

Been thinking to get the new Konitz; have really enjoyed his recent-ish work. Where's 'First Meeting' Volume 2???

[JSngry]

Dig Lee here, the only cat in the band to look at this, the rest of the band is like, oh well, you know how Stan do, I'm just gonna look away, but Lee is, no, I'm gonna watch this shit, Lennie was weird, hell no, THIS cat is weird, I will survive!, I will be stronger coming out than I was coming in And he did, and he has, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants to as far as I'm concerned, Lee Konitz has not wavered!

The Adam Kolker is excellent.

 

 

After listening via YT, I decided to order this John Lewis solo-piano CD:

Afternoon in Paris (Dreyfus)

 

I also ordered Chet Baker's Peace on LP (Enja, German pressing!) from Dusty Groove:

I went for this LP for David Friedman's contributions as much I did for Chet's.  I've really been enjoying Friedman's music lately.

Looking forward to spinning this on my 'table, hearing the improved sonics -- since I now only have it as an MP3 download.

Frank Foster & the Loud Minority - Shiny Stockings (Denon)

"Carmen Sings Monk" ....

[erwbol]

Last CD I bought was the MFSL of Some Day My Prince Will Come (MFCD 828) from 1990 with the original Teo Macero mix. Nothing wrong with the Mark Wilder remix, but there is a clear difference. Good to have alongside all the other more recent MFSL Miles Davis SACDs with original mixes.

[erwbol]

Latest Jazz Messengers order:

• Anthony Braxton & Miya Masaoka - Duo (DCWM) 2013; Braxton paired with a 21 string koto sounds real good. Sample here.
• Orrin Evans - #knowingishalfthebattle; With Kurt Rosenwinkel and Kevin Eubanks.
