Few can caress a tune like Michael Moore.

Two Days!!

Michael, Ab, Toby, Thomas, Wolter, Mary, Tristan, Ernst, Han!!!

Plus Gus Jansen (sp?) plus the *great* Mary Halvorsen & the wonderous Marcus Rojas!!!

If I went tomorrow I would hear Ray Anderson & Wolter Wierbos together!!!

Guus Janssen -- First name pronounced something like "Hchuss" I believe, as though one were clearing phlegm from the throat.

He's a great pianist. Seen him once live and was really impressed by the scope of his vision coming from Teddy Wilson via Tristano and Monk. He swings, he stutters and of course has great humour like most of the Dutch players. His duo album with Han Benninnk is great . He's a very suitable replacement for Misha in the ICP.

[Steve Reynolds]

Thanks, Larry & Clunky

As you might know, I get pretty fired up for live shows.

Now hearing such great things about Guus Janssen, as well as knowing that two of the best NY improvisors/musicians will be jointing the Orchestra tomorrow night, has me on the edge of euphoria!!!

Some would say on the edge of insanity.

"The Natives Are Restless Tonight" and "The Kicker"

Both from The Horace Silver Quintet album - Song For My Father - on Blue Note.

[John Tapscott]

"Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" from Bill Evans "California Here I Come" - Philly Joe Jones on drums who is a major reason I enjoy this track and CD so much.

Louis Armstrong Tight Like This 1928

starts off like it's going to be a novelty record. but then the
trumpet solo starts, and it becomes my favorite armstrong 1920's performance.

"Butter" from The Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra - 20 Years at the Village Vanguard - Atlantic

Wow, this tune has it all. A beautiful ballad composed and arranged by Jerry Dodgion.

Lovely solos by Ken Werner on piano and Ed Neumeister on trombone along with outstanding ensemble

playing by the band. This is a tune to listen to many times.

Thanks for reminding me of that one, Peter. I bought it in 2009 - relatively recently for me for a vinyl album and I regret my vinyl collection doesn't get many plays nowadays. Looking forward to giving it a spin tomorrow.

17:45 minute track 3 from Dragonfly Breath

Hard to say it is better than the first 2 tracks but the three tracks make for a mind bending experience

That is the highlight of the record for me. I find whenever I pull this one out it gets spun over and over for days.

So far my favorite of the three Ideal Bread recordings is the first one.

That one has 3-4 Lacy tunes that I never heard like I heard them played by others. Listening to Ideal Bread and The Whammies (a thoroughly different approach to Lacy's music) have given Lacy's music a whole new life for me. It's gotten me to go back to many of the Lacy recordings I have that I hadn't listened to in ages.
