What's the deal with them? Quote
HutchFan Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) They're both very good. Perhaps not quite on the same level as At the Great American Music Hall -- which is my favorite Carmen record from the 1970s -- but close. Repetoire-wise, these Groove Merchant LPs are in the same bag as the GAMH album - a mix of jazz classics and current hits. It doesn't at all feel forced, like a concession to the marketplace. It's all soulful. The line-up on Ms. Jazz: Zoot Sims – tenor saxophone Bucky Pizzarelli − guitar Tom Garvin − piano Paul West − bass Jimmy Madison − drums And the line-up on It Takes a Whole Lot...: Joe Pass − guitar Dick Shreve − piano Ray Brown − bass Larry Bunker − vibraphone, percussion Frank Severino − drums The music's readily available for sampling on YT. Check it out. If you dig Carmen, I think you'd dig these records. Edited January 31, 2019 by HutchFan add YT link; re-formatted a bit Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 The December Band, Volume II (GHB). I bought this album in Preservation Hall in 1990, on my first visit to New Orleans. It's legendary among New Orleans music fans, mostly for the contributions of alto saxophonist Captain John Handy (1900-1971; not the John Handy who played with Mingus). Quote

One of my favorite Mississippi hill country bluesmen. Joe Callicott was (is) great. Just listened to some of his 1967 recordings (plus the two sides of his 1930 78) on Arhoolie. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Horace Parlan - On the Spur of the Moment (BN/Music Matters). One of the few (three, I think) of those expensive 45 RPM two-record MM reissues that I have. They do sound good, but I can't see myself going any further down that road. Quote
