<thumbs up> to the above, and considering that Concord was the home for Ray Brown and then the Gene Harris Quartet, not to mention Scott Hamilton, as far as I am concerned, when I started listening to jazz thru the end of Carl Jefferson's involvement, Concord was a Good Housekeeping seal of approval just as BN was for the 50s and (most of the) 60s. -

In my opinion there were a large number of very fine recordings from Concord. I won't attempt to list them all, but will point out the Solo Piano at Maybeck series and a couple of outstanding Stan Getz albums. And as "opinions" are being discussed on this thread, and Allen Lowe shared his view on Wayne Shorter, here is mine. My favorite Wayne Shorter recordings are in the early 1960's with Art Blakey. I also enjoyed SOME of his own sessions as leader and as a sideman up till 1965. I was never enthralled by his playing with Miles (I know that's clear minority view). What came after his period with Miles are almost all not music care for. To my ears,Miles albums with George Coleman were far more to my taste. -

I was saddened to hear of the passing of jazz guitarist Peter Leitch. My first experience with Leitch was when I reviewed his first album - Jump Street recorded 1981 for the Canadian label Jazz House - for CODA Magazine. Unfortunately that record was never reissued on CD. I was visiting Toronto not long after my review, and along with my friend John Norris went to hear Leitch at a local Toronto Club. He was leaving for New York a few days after the gig and would soon become a fixture on the scene there. Following Peter's last set that evening we had a chance to talk. That was the only time I recall seeing Peter Leitch play live, but have very much enjoyed many of his recordings for labels such as Reservoir and Concord. -
I do too, especially their take on Kirk Lightsey's "Habiba". I used that one on a BFT many years ago. But as you say, out of character album for Concord. -
