B. Goren. Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 His recordings for ECM are also recommended: "Italian Ballads" is also one my favorite: Quote

David Ayers Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 New Rava title due in August from ECM - On The Dance Floor. Dust off those boogie shoes! It's a Michael Jackson tribute, I believe. Still not curious? Still no takers? Well he's touring it and it's coming out whether you want it or not! Quote
Guy Berger Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 New Rava title due in August from ECM - On The Dance Floor. Dust off those boogie shoes! It's a Michael Jackson tribute, I believe. Still not curious? Still no takers? Well he's touring it and it's coming out whether you want it or not! At first I thought you were kidding, but now I'm intrigued. I wonder what the look on Manfred Eicher's face was when Rava brought it up. Quote
six string Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Am I alone in thinking that is a bizarre idea? Not so much a tribute to MJ or even a jazz tribute to MJ but a jazz tribute to MJ by ER? Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Would that be the Kurt Vile who collaborated with Beastly Brecht? Quote
Pete C Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 If Bollani is part of the project he may have had something to do with it. Quote
Joe Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Would that be the Kurt Vile who collaborated with Beastly Brecht? Surely he doesn't mean this Kurt Vile (though he could)... http://kurtvile.com/ Quote

Pete C Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Joel Forrester does a great version of "My Guy," but he got mad at me when I suggested he do a Motown songbook album. Joel also does a version if the Fleetwoods' "Come Softly to Me." Quote
David Ayers Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Jackson was pretty much a genius - juust about, though if you put him against Astaire... Interesting Rava is going for mainly later songs. If this is a record with some real beats then I am in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIyjTvpUh6Y Quote
Pete C Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Jackson was pretty much a genius - juust about, though if you put him against Astaire... And many have said, if you put Astaire next to the Nicholas Brothers... Quote
David Ayers Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah? And what if you put the Nicholas brothers on the Titanic? Eh? Quote
T.D. Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 Am I alone in thinking that is a bizarre idea? ... No! I'd never consider purchase. Would like to read a review, though... Quote
Valeria Victrix Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 To answer the thread title - Yes, me for one! I very much enjoyed The Pilgrim and the Stars, The Plot, and Tati. I think his early stuff had more edge, whilst his more recent stuff is smooth, suave and makes for a lovely listen. Quote
