I wish Bill Evans had recorded more with PJJ.
-
It might be Mulligan himself on piano, see this page.

Damn, that's strange. I quickly checked discogs, and the release pictured seems to be a PD collection of Pacific Jazz releases from 1952-53. None of those Pacific Jazz records credit a pianist, AFAICT all bari-drums-bass-trumpet quartet. But I must have missed something.

After spinning the "Special Edition" box I'm listening to some more offbeat recordings with Jack: The duet with Foday Musa Suso Bill Evans Trio At the Montreux Jazz Festival Nick Brignola On a Different Level (my favorite Brignola album)
-
Yes! And especially with Jaki Byard on piano. There was a fairly recent thread (which is slightly off the current topic) here

Hamid Drake and William Parker in the drums/bass category.

Is "ballpark organist" a genre? I grew up in the Chicago area...Nancy Faust, who played at Comiskey Park for decades and Chicago Stadium for a few years, was a big deal. https://chicagoreader.com/music/the-secret-history-of-chicago-music/nancy-faust-organist-white-sox-comiskey/

Thanks. Hard to explain the blunder, as I had the CD liner notes right in front of me.
-
Sorry, I misrecalled the liner note author Bob Blumenthal...I play chess and must have subliminally mixed him up with the "Blumenfeld Counter Gambit". 🤪

I discovered the "roller-rink" organist trope via Bob Blumenthal's updated (2004) liner notes to the RVG CD of Heavy Soul. Freddie Roach (1931-1980), with a more subdued (detractors might say roller-rink) sound than most organists of the period, might be an acquired taste, but for this listener it is a taste worth acquiring...

+1 to all sentiments. Too sad to say anything else.

Me too (in principle), but I am not telegenic and would completely lack screen presence, propelling the film into farcical / disaster territory. 😁 I think O'Connor's performance has gotten positive reviews. Cinema / theatre stars have a certain presence not common in the general population.

What Classical Music Are You Listening To?
T.D. replied to StarThrower's topic in Classical Discussion
and a couple of discs from -
Saw this new release Not really recommended, though it has a decent jazz score by Rob Mazurek. Billed as "moody", but IMO unfolds at a glacial pace, and the protagonist (who is onscreen almost the whole time) is a puzzling nondescript cipher who evokes no sympathy and I found of negligible interest. Josh O'Connor, who plays him, does a good job.

As far as I can tell (I ordered one in a test cart), USA is not on the list of countries they ship to (presumably due to tariff issues), so many (most?) of us on the forum are SOL.
