hutchfan! Man, I was hoping you would show up over here.

jeffcrom, I have no particular reason to doubt the album sold poorly. It got very little promotion and hit the cut out racks almost instantaneously. Didja ever see them back in the day? I probably saw them a half dozen times, and recall one truly spectacular show they did at Emory circa 1970-71. I also saw one of their last shows (minus Harold, plus Mike Greene on keyboards), when they opened for Mahasishnu Orchestra 1972-73. Music to Eat is available on YouTube, for those that are curious. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CA7A5610382FB461 I drove up to Atlanta to see that reunion show at Variety a few years back (2008) when Bob Elsey played in place of the departed Harold Kelling. Here's a clip from that show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzlpSzXDk-A

Hampton Grease Band - Music to Eat (Columbia, 1971). Bruce Hampton - vocals; Harold Kelling, Glenn Phillips - guitars; Mike Holbrook - bass; Jerry Fields - drums. Some of you may follow jam bands such as Aquarium Rescue Unit, Code Talkers, etc.; this is the same Bruce Hampton who now styles himself as the Colonel. This is an incredible band in many respects. I never heard anybody plays guitar like Harold and Glenn since, and Holbrook's bass playing is basically an extensive album long solo that perfectly fits the music - none of this "walking the bass" business with this boyo.

Found this lirttle jewel on Netflix streaming MI-5 from BBC (aka, for some reason, Spooks). Pass the popcorn, pliz.

was just looking at the five buck downloads over at Amazon and they've got 30+ pages of stuff characterized as jazz. I usually use the Amazon five buck downloads for the occasional backfill, and I picked up five this time: Bill Evans - Bill Evans At Town Hall Abbey Lincoln - A Turtle's Dream John McLaughlin - Extrapolation Eric Reed - Manhattan Melodies Danilo Perez - Panamonk

I bought the two Ellington is Forever albums on vinyl back in the day. Great compositions and really nice playing all around. In fact, I think I'll play them now. :Nod:

Quest Quicksilver Messenger Service Quintango The Quintet Jazz at Massey Hall (Dizzy, Bird, Bud, Mingus, and Roach) Quintet Of The Hot Club Of San Francisco

Happy Burfday, Rudy! You were there for it all like few have ever been.

I spent a little time in Houston about 15 years ago and got to really liking that sort of stuff. It was the best stuff I could find on the rental car radio, by far. There wasn't much tejano music back here in Georgia at the time, although that may have changed in the ATL by now due to shifting demographics. ¡Me gusta!

I came late to an appreciation of Bobby Hutcherson, thanks largely to the encouragement of hutchfan over on the defunct - or at least comotose - AAJ forum. I really like several of his albums, including this year's release Enjoy the View.

I also have Chakra (2013), The Creep (2012), and Still Evolved (2003). One of Nash's strengths is as an arranger. I've seen him put together programs for the Savannah Music Festival that were truly fine, especially one from 2011 where he selected and arranged from Duke Ellington's Small Combo compositions.

It inspired me to invest in the big Mosaic box, Duke Ellington: 1936-40 Small Group Sessions (#235)

That Andrew Hill album (Andrew Hill - Dusk [1999, Palmetto]) looks interesting.

I've seen Nash quite a few times, both as a member of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and on his own with other musicians. He's a very good composer and arranger in addition to being a superb reeds player. I saw one of the first performances of his Portrait in Seven Shades, a JLCO performance composed and arranged by Nash. The composition was released by JLCO on The Orchard label in 2010.

kh1958, I'd had my eye on the Dezron already, but went ahead and picked up all three you mentioned: Tyler Mitchell, Dezron Douglas, and Ari Hoenig. First listen through, I am at all not unhappy with the purchase. Thanks for the reco!

Florencia González Big Band - Woman Dreaming of Escape (2012, Self Published). Simply wonderful compositions played by a superb ensemble. Link to review on Latin Jazz Net http://latinjazznet.com/2013/06/16/features/album-of-the-week/florencia-gonzalez-big-band-woman-dreaming-of-escape/

Hi, xybert. If you didn't feel a "low-level weirdness" when you first listened to The Stars, I'd be worried, LOL! Some pieces I liked immediately and I like everything on the album the more I listen to it. Kh1958, I'm insanely jealous; I'd really like to see them.

Now you see, kh1958, that's just the kind of information I'm looking for. Thanks!

agree on the excellence of the Mulgrews. In the Smalls series, I have Alex Sipiagin Ben Wolfe David Berkman David Kikoski (a killer session, that one, might have been the first Kikoski I ever acquired) Harold Mabern Jazz Incorporated (that would be Jeremy Pelt - trumpet; Louis Hayes - drums; Anthony Wonsey - piano; Dezron Douglas - trumpet) Jesse Davis Jimmy Greene Quartet Joel Frahm Quartet Lage Lund Neal Smith Omer Avital (WOW! What a great session from a great artist) Peter Bernstein (I really like his guitar playing) Planet Jazz (that would be Peter Bernstein - guitar; Joe Magnarelli - trumpet; Jerry Weldon - tenor sax; Spike Wilner - piano; Neal Miner - trumpet; Joe Strasser - drums) Rodney Green Ryan Kisor (definitely like Kisor's playing on this and in general) Seamus Blake (ditto) Tim Ries Quintet Will Vinson. Looks like I need to go take a look at that Kevin Hays you mentioned, CJ

Ben Allison - The Stars Look Very Different Today (2013, Sonic Camera Records). Ben Allison - bass; Steve Cardenas - guitar; Brandon Seabrook - guitar, banjo; Allison Miller - drums. Stellar!

Marc Cary Focus Trio - Four Directions (2013, Motéma Music). Marc Cary - piano; Burniss Earl Travis II - bass; Sameer Gupta - drums, tabla. I'm crazy about this one from last year. Tremendous energy.
