Leo Cuypers Muziek Centrum Nederland CD. (with 30+ minutes of bonus material)

寿限無／山下洋輔

3/4, for Piano & Orchestra. What a beautiful composition. I can't believe that WATT album hasn't seen a digital release. (If it has, I missed it.) I listened to the entirety of Naked Hamlet yesterday. Essential Bley listening. It cries out for an official release. If you're interested in Bley's writing, you need to hear this.

Finally read this in its entirety. Fascinating indeed—thanks for sharing that.

"Mr. Hardman & His Giant Talking Friend"—that was their side gig. Jackie played along with it to keep Bill smiling. The whole thing freaked the rhythm section out however.

Ha! I did indeed. I wish Miles (or Teo) had focused on the "Circle In The Round" work just a little more and edited it into a 33 1/3 record back in the day. Regardless, a great tune. Herbie plays celeste (if I'm not mistaken), and I often confuse it for vibes at first ("Hey, Miles got Bobby Hutcherson on the session. What a great idea!") I profess to not reading up on Joe Beck.

I like the Prestige work, but my favorite Mal is almost all on Enja.

I'm contemplating a Miles Davis 1968-1975 close-listening marathon. All the official studio and live albums plus the "complete" box sets (In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, On The Corner) PLUS the sanctioned bootleg series sets (minus Newport and "Freedom Jazz Dance"). I would like to add the real bootlegs, but that might be too much, plus I don't have that many. It's going to take some time. I started yesterday with Miles In The Sky. What a brilliant record. I wonder how George Benson felt to be playing on (part of) it. The opener ("Stuff," minus Benson) is fantastic, despite Miles and Wayne not always playing the melody together. For some reason I've always played this album more than the next, Filles de Kilimanjaro, which is a heavy record. Gonna spend some time with that one. But first, the stuff with Jeff Beck ... Oh, didn't mean to leave out the Cellar Door set—that's how this post fits into this thread!

I need to spin this one next. I always skip over it for some reason.

Is it possible to move this thread to the "Artists" forum? Thanks, mods!

When I think of Turrentine, I tend to think "Blue Note" first, often overlooking one of my favorite recordings of his: A hip record.

Piazzolla Interpreta A Piazzolla

I don't think that's sweat glistening on Albert's face. It's Vaseline. He'd started that practice around 1969-70.

Summer Night What a gorgeous little gem, slightly lost in the mix of the Seven Steps sessions, and then placed on Quiet Nights, seemingly to fill up space.

What album was released, circa 1971-72, in the stores after Live Evil? Was it Get Up With It?

I just realized that I need to spin Black Beauty far more.

Warm Tenor I'm now on a Zoot-Pablo marathon. Zoot The Elder lays down the wisdom.

I call, but then realize I only have a Bing Crosby in my hand. Should've bluffed.

From the Live Evil party, I want to travel down the block and then enter a different residence and party, this one playing Dark Magus.

That sounds good. I want to agree with Miles Davis too.

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up. It looks like it was even on compact disc at one time. Live At The Village Gate Actually, there are some similarities, musically, between Sivuca and Hermeto!

I'm in agreement with the sentiment that Zoot Sims recorded some of his finest playing—perhaps his most creative improvisations—for Pablo. I think in the Pablo records you're hearing Zoot as he wanted to be heard.

I don't have any Sivuca albums. I've been listening to some on YouTube though. Right now, I'm taken with the early Barclay records. I wish I had this particular disc. Recommendations for further exploration? (And anyone else sometimes mistakenly confuse Sivuca with Hermeto?)

(Now I wonder what cocktail TTK would recommend for such a party.)
