clifford_thornton Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 19 hours ago, mjazzg said: I'd vote for this one too. 1988 with Dave Burrell, Fred Hopkins and Ralph Peterson. As I hear it it gets to the essence of what Murray was (is) about - he plays these tunes as if they really mean something to him. Smoother than the earlier "scrappiness" but no less involving, I think and I definitely agree about those Human Arts Ensemble records, Leeway Thanks for the recommendations. Indeed, those HAE records on Circle are strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Artie Shaw - In the Blue Room/In the Cafe Rouge (RCA Victor). I just found a mint copy of this 1961 double album complied from late-30s broadcasts. Sound and performances are excellent. It's fascinating to hear Joe Garland's full arrangement of "In the Mood," which runs over six minutes here. Glenn Miller cut out large chunks to get it to three minutes.

I remember seeing McCorkle with Ingham's trio around the time that LP came out. They were the opposite group to either George Colemen or Cedar Walton I think. Not totally sure if Moss and Fairweather were in the lineup or if it was just the trio. Edited December 11, 2016 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a sad life history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susannah_McCorkle Yes, I can't help but think of her difficult life as I listen to her sing these Mercer lyrics with such clarity and conviction and joy. In fact, I can't listen to this great album very much because of that. On "Dream" - "things aren't as bad as they seem." Unfortunately, they sometimes are. RIP Susannah McCorkle.

sidewinder Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) It must have been 1979 when I saw her, likely not long before she and Keith Ingham headed for the States. Like BillF, it was at Ronnie's. She seemed confident and upbeat on the stage as I recall, a fine performer. Some good vocalists featured at Ronnie's during that period - Elaine Delmar, Marian Montgomery and Salena Jones come to mind.

Thanks to whoever got this record signed for me many years ago, or a cruel joke if fake. Dizzy Gillespie/J.J. Johnson, Perceptions (Verve).

sidewinder Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Betty Carter also appeared there annually, of course. Not forgetting Ella and Sarah Vaughan - never got too see those. I think the £2 student card admission wasn't accepted for those popular artists such as Ella, gold expense account only admitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
