felser Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 Tom Peron - Interplay. He's a fabulous trumpeter out of the Bay area. I had never heard of him before getting a CD by him in a private collection I purchased. Was blown away by the warmth, clarity, and swing of his playing. His other CD, 'Dedication', is even better. Has a tenor player named Darius Babdazeh, who has the Joe Henderson thing down. Quote
mikeweil Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Got this one today and can't believe we overlooked it: Two superb rhythm sections: Joe Zawinul/Sam Jones/Louis Hayes or Wynton Kelly/Paul Chambers/Philly Joe Jones, and a beautiful muted rendition of Love Letters ranking among the prettiest trumpet ballads I have heard!

47 West 63rd N.Y.C. Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 Joe Magnarelli: Hoop Dreams (Criss Cross 1280) Joe Magnarelli (tp/flh); Gary Versace (p); Paul Gill (b); Tony Reedus (d). Great CD, in the tradition of Kenny Dorham's Quiet Kenny. Quote

fasstrack Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 I realize that Ruby Braff usually played cornet, as does Warren Vache, but here are a few quartet recordings by them. Ruby Braff - Live At The Regattabar - Arbors Ruby Braff-George Barnes - live At The New School - Chiaroscuro Ruby Braff and Ralph Sutton - R & R - Chiaroscuro Ruby Braff/George Barnes - Plays Gershwin - Concord Ruby Braff/George Barnes - Salutes Rodgers and Hart - Concord Ruby Braff - The Canadian Sessions - Sackville Warren Vache - Iridessence - Concord Warren Vache - What Is There To Say? - Nagel-Heyer Bless you for mentioning both Ruby and Warren. Both are gems and I'm a major fan. Quote
fasstrack Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 I'm quite surprised no one mentioned the Art Farmer-Jim Hall collaboration (unless I missed it). The best known one is Interactions, and deservedly so. I Love Sweden is also good. Chet Baker, the Tokyo concerts (1987) is very nice. Also, These Rooms (Jim Hall/Tom Harrell). I'm sure I'll think of some others. Bedtime for Bonzo just now. Quote
Enterprise Server Posted June 25, 2006 Report Posted June 25, 2006 "Also don't forget 'The Ringer' by Tolliver, the studio session which came before the great 'Live at Slugs' albums. It is up to the same standard. 'Grand Max' was the name stuck on the Black Lion CD reissue of 'Live at Loosdrecht', which came out as a 2LP set on Strata-East in the 70's. Reggie Workman is amazing on that. And don't forget Tolliver's 'Compassion', a quartet with Nathan Page on guitar instead of a pianist. 'Empyrean Isles' is also fabulous, as is 'Outpost'. I've never been a big fan of 'Candy'. For the person who didn't knwo which label 'Empyrean Isles' was on, it was Blue Note." Great info. I know all of this already. But it was just nice to hear someone else take note. I have all the Tolliver quartets. And I love the Freedie Hubbard and Herbie Hancock classic, "Empyrean Isles". I think the cover graphics is outstanding! I really like it. Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Effi was Stanley Cowell's wife at the time. They were high school sweethearts from Cleveland. High School in Cleveland? They must have moved there, because I know he came from Toledo. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Don Ellis - Essence - (Pacific Jazz) wih Bley, Peacock and Martinis Don Ellis - How Time Passes - (Candid) with Byard, Persip and Ron Carter Thanks for mentioning Don Ellis.
