  1. Donato's piano artistry was sublime. Let this album sink in:
  2. That song haunted me after I first heard it, and it never left my musical memory.
  3. Reading all these positive comments are undermining my resistance .....
  4. I scored an autographed copy of this CD on discogs!
  5. R.I.P. He was responsible for the Cuban influence in Brazilian music through his membership in Mongo Santamaria's band - many montunos in his pieces. This is one of my favourites:
  6. It's here, and I listened to the first two tracks. It gives a good impression of how the quartet sounded live at the Gate, engineer Richard Aldersons's notes are a great read and leave nothing to be desired as far as information on the sound is concerned. Elvin was loud, but that's what Coltrane wanted him to be.
  7. One of mine, too, although for Antonioni, not for Birkin. She was a teenager back then, and grew into a fascinating person over the years. I once sat in a Paris Café when she strolled by - quite an aura. R.I.P.
  8. 👍 Sometimes I think, staying on topic may be too hard for many members. No matter what forum they post on.
  9. This really shows the piano genius of Cole. He always approaches his solo differently on each take.
  10. Only one copy for sale on discogs! He recorded so many dates with the best Wes Coast players besides his innumerable studio dates, but most of them are hard to find.
  11. R.I.P. I think he had the most distinctive sound of all trumpet players. I always recognized him after one or two notes. I remember an interview where he was asked about electric trumpets, and he answered he had worked on this sound for so long that he didn't want to plug in and sound like something else. He plays on half of this album with his great sound:
  12. They did a number of sets from the Verve catalog. But Universal Japan reissued all the Chess and Verve albums as single CDs (without any unissued material) at the occasion of Burrell's 90th birthday in 2021, so that maybe out of the question, economically.
