Von Freeman - Serenade & Blues (Nessa, rec. 1975)

One of the finest 50's Mobley records. Weird that it wasn't issued in its time. Beautifully recorded, and this particular record captures Hank's sound better than most. Plus—Kenny and Sonny are on their A-games. Jimmy Rowser went on to join Red Garland's gigging trio.

Aldo Romano: Chante. Dreyfus Jazz 346050366862 [France 2005]

Elvin's entrance into tempo 30 seconds into "Acknowledgement" from 'A Love Supreme' is what immediately hooked me on jazz for life.

👍

Prompted by Chuck's post above:

He's going to be in New Mexico earlier in April with his trio.

👍👍

My wife and I are proud to present Fred Hersch in concert on Tuesday, April 21st at 7:30 pm EDT. This concert is a benefit for my station, WUTC-FM, where a I served as development director from 1989 to 2015. If you know of anyone living close to Chattanooga (Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta and Huntsville are all close enough to make the drive), please let them know about the concert. Fred Hersch has played in the Atlanta area a few times but this is his first appearance in Chattanooga. https://calendar.utc.edu/event/fred-hersch?utm_campaign=widget&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=University+of+Tennessee+at+Chattanooga&_gl=1*1m0gudx*_gcl_au*MjA2ODMzMzg5NC4xNzY3NzM1MzE0

Rich Perry - Mood (Steeplechase) Have been returning to this marvellous quartet album countless times. And it won´t end. A dream team with the fabulous Harold Danko at the keys. Probably Perry´s masterpiece.
