Stephane Grappelli/Martial Solal: Happy Reunion (Owl)

Listening to this LP, I was reminded of a conversation I had with a musician friend. We were talking about listening to Hank Jones and Benny Carter. My friend had some good advice. He said that listening to those gentlemen's music was different from listening to Monk's music or Bird's music. You won't hear adventure and excitement, but you will hear music that's played perfectly. That's what I heard when I listened to Happy Reunion this afternoon.

Ken Colyer - Club Session With Colyer (London). My affection for British trad trumpeter Ken Colyer is not really rational, especially considering my comments about derivative music elsewhere in the forums today. Part of it has to do with Colyer's interesting repertoire - few, if any, New Orleans bands would have been playing "Chrysanthemum Rag" or "Snag It" in 1956. And Colyer was just so damn good, even if he wasn't that original.

Oh, well - I never claimed to be consistent.

Continuing my irrationality:

Ken Colyer's Omega Brass Band - Marching to New Orleans (British Decca 10"). When it comes to New Orleans-style brass bands, only Bunk's Brass Band, the Zenith Brass Band, and the Eureka Brass Band beat Colyer's Omega BB to records.
