“Chick Corea & Origin A Week at the Blue Note” disc 1

Staring off with “Black Art Jazz Collective: Presented By The Side Door Jazz Club.” Quite a band!

8-16: Most of these I have no idea, but: 12. Very nice tune, I think the trumpeter is Clark Terry, it reminded me his great solo in "A tune for the tutor", a personal favorite. 13. I got this: "Deep river" by Archie Sheep and Horace Parlan.

May 9 Tania Maria - 1948

Jason Moran / Marcus Gilmore / BlankFor.ms - Shards (Red Hook Records, 2026). Very interesting album. I've listened to it a couple of times today.

The lady has a great set of pipes. The arranger knows something about arranging. But somehow every time it starts to get going with a little jazz feel, it pulls up short and delivers cringey, artsy-fartsy schmaltz...

I already have it and I love the album. Why didn't I think of that before? It's "In light of blackness" from Black Unity Trio "Al-fatihah". Great choice!

👍

I agree. Today the mail came. And with it a second package from The Lost Recordings with the Coltrane and the Getz Zardi's UHQCD sets. I think my second order was not canceled as it was said to be. Sigh. Worse problems are possible!

“Stan Getz at Zardi’s” The Lost Recordings 2 UHQCD set, UHQCD 2 Great sound, great playing. It just amazes me how inventive Stan can be, how masterful his bebop is and also how swinging his flow is, and how beautiful the sound he produces.

Coincidentally, I am listening to Ralph Pena as well, also with Herb Geller... Finally bought this today after seeing it many times, it's wonderful

Sometimes I close my eyes, stand in front of my shelves and just pull a cd out at random. Got a good one this time.

Ralph Peña: Master Of The Bass. V.S.O.P. Records V.S.O.P. #97 CD [US 1996]

“Stan Getz at Zardi’s” The Lost Recordings 2 UHQCD set, UHQCD 2 Great sound, great playing.

Yep, that's where I picked most of mine up as well. Back when FNAC stocked a fair number of cds.....a while ago....
