Anyone heard this record before? How did stay under the radar for so long? That or I just live under a rock. 

Al Tanner Quintet

Gorgeous.

Not a recorded track but a live track: 

Two days ago I listened to the trio of my favourite Austrian pianist Oliver Kent ("Triple Ace" with Uli Langthaler who also plays with me on many occasions, and the great Serbian drummer Dusan Novakov) and they did a fantastic version of that old pop song "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree" , but as a fast waltz, with extended solos of highest quality and going modal with a bit McCoy feeling, but very very individual. I could have listened for hours only for this tune. 

As I mentioned in my thread "A Great Day...in Vienna" I have the highest praise for Oliver, such a wonderful musician an human being, and it´s a big honour for me that he praises my own playing too.

Jason Isbell: If We Were Vampires

[HutchFan]

YouTube has the title wrong on the video below.  It's actually "Day Dream" (two words, singular), not "Daydreams."

Gonsalves' playing on this Strayhorn composition is sublime.

The Band: Atlantic City

[Chuck Nessa]

Hot Bones and Rice by the Charlie Johnson's Paradise Orchestra.

Back in the '60s I bought a 10" lp on Label X by this band and it has stuck with me for all these years.
