All Activity

I intend to be there next year too.

Just booked my room 😁

Thanks, but that didn’t seem to work for me. There must be somewhere on here familiar with ‘Henry’ and his brilliant website. Shame if it’s no longer easily accessible, there was a mass of detailed information there.

Giving this LP -- a recent find -- another spin: Outstanding.

Lovely album. I'm a big fan of Armaroli in whatever setting

Sergio Armaroli, Francesca Gemmo, Barry Guy - At Sotto Il Mare First Visit

The Billy Strayhorn All Stars sessions on Mercer are tremendous.

Thanks! I haven't heard that record but it is on my list. I'll check the Kovacs record out.

I love this album - and normally I can't stand Murray. Got rid of all the CDs by/with him except this one. His whining unhinged tone fits very well with tipsy-turvy Hungarian gypsy tunes. And I like these tunes. Ferenc Kovacs (Ferenc is the first name) is mostly known as a violin player. He is on many records. I would recommend this one under his name: https://www.discogs.com/release/1786220-Kovács-Ferenc-Beli-Buba , although it's more on the folky soft side. He is also a member of Mihaly Dresch groups, whom you probably know from this (excellent) album: https://www.discogs.com/release/1546927-Mihály-Dresch-Quartet-Archie-Shepp-Hungarian-Bebop

String Quartets Op.18/3 and Op.74

Columbia KC 32025 - Miles Davis " Basic Miles" - rec. between 1955 & 1962

Grant with sound, in color and b/w does exist.

More Willie:

Apologies if this has been noted previously in the thread, but it appears that the master and alternate of "Jack Armstrong Blues" on disc 1 have been inadvertently switched. The longer master is track #21, while the shorter alternate is track #14.

She's pricey in NC too. I'd like to go but too much 💰 for me.

More or less for members familiar with the german jazz scene - great multiple CD box with some "fathers" of german jazz (modern and traditional) A crossection of the second german Jazzfestival.

Yes, you keep saying this and it still makes me anxious to hear these piano pieces! (I will as soon as I finish up what I'm doing).

Kareem was Artist In Residence two years ago at the Detroit Jazz Festival. Opening night he did a set with a band that included Madlib. That was some tight shit!

That Scofield album (Country for Old Men) is a mixed bag. Several tracks are quite interesting and enjoyable; the one on the BFT is not. I have followed Sco's career pretty closely and I've seen him in concert, but there are albums and tracks that are quite dissatisfying. But I give him credit him for making plenty of unusual choices of tunes.

Do you also enjoy watching silent films with the video turned off, or listening to ventriloquists on the radio?

Andre 3000’s piano playing should be taken about as seriously as Hunter Biden’s paintings. Andre 3000 sounds like the name of a low budget sci-fi flick.
