    Geri Allen

    Saw her perform in a trio with Ralphe Armstrong and Sherman Ferguson (a real swinging drummer playing for the benefit of the trio). It was excellent. I liked her piano playing much more than on the records.
  3. Looks good. I prefer dark roasts. My brand this morning is from a local roaster.
  4. Last night this one was missing. A thorough inspection of the shelves with classical CDs revealed I had my Bizet recordings in two places. Compilations with works of several composers are a drag. This CD has, btw, the most terrific recording of the Carmen Suite you will ever hear. Most conductors tend to take it too fast - this one is right on spot and grooves the hell out of the piece.
  5. This late afternoon:
  6. Sound varies depending on the original alums. Some is very rare. The Verve with Brookmeyer is the jazziest, with a killer solo from Schifrin on the longest track. As with Sergio Mendes or Joao Donato all is a bit on the lighter side. They all were under more commercial presurd than jazz pianists, it seems to me. I would like to tell you more, but ghis is one of my temporarily misplaced items .....
  7. I saw that line-up in Frankfurt. It was a hot band!
  8. This may be his best album.
  9. I love that one! Last night:
  10. That's my thought exactly.
  11. Workman and Cyrille - a dream team. I wish Wayne Shorter would have recorded with them. I definitely want to hear this.
  12. For some musicians it seems to be very hard to sense when you better stop performing.
  13. In other words, cheaply taking advantage of European copyright regulations.
  14. Last night before going to sleep: Definitely not enough Eddie Harris on that one! Tonight it will be enough Eddie, for sure:
  15. The 1810 made pianoforte works surprisingly well with the pieces of the Bach sons. https://www.discogs.com/release/15418540-Jörg-Becker-Sonate-Facile
  16. Last night - excellent recording.
  17. Am I correct that this forum exists longer than the Blue Note Board ever did?
  18. The mass Hasse composed for the inauguration of the new Catholic court church in Dresden.
