So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Michael Weiss - Power Station (DIW). After finishing up Weiss's latest offering, an LP cut of 2003's "Soul Journey", I thought that I hadn't spun this CD in a while. Weiss again with Joe Farnsworth on drums but with the added advantage of having some great work by Eric Alexander and John Webber. Such a great band. I really dig this date. It's too bad it's only ever been available as an expensive import.

It's interesting to listen to these two dates back to back since there is some overlap in the tune selection, with 'Atlantis', 'Orient Express' & 'Soul Journey' appearing on both.

Jason Palmer - At Wally's Vol. 1. 

Jason is a fascinating player. Mellow yet dynamic. This is a much more "lively" set compared to his Rhyme and Reason set which was live at the Jazz Standard. Rhyme and Reason sounds like a studio album recorded live in front of an audience versus At Wally"s which sound like a live set that happened to be recorded, if that makes sense. I don't think I've ever heard Jason as "fiery' as his presence on Michael Thomas' Event Horizon which was live from the Jazz Standard, but no matter what or how he plays he is always enjoyable.

Your selection, Bresna of the excellent Michael Weiss disc reminded me of this one, as I'd seen a fine clip of Michael playing with Walt. 

I dig Michael's choice of tenormen!

James Newton "Romance and Revolution" Blue Note cd

[Referentzhunter]

[HutchFan]

A desert-island disc.

 

[jazzbo]

Duduka da Fonseca & Helio Alves & Maucha Adnet "Samba Jazz and Tom Jobim" Special guests Wynton Marsalis and Claudio Roditi

This is one of those albums where when I see the cover I want to play it. Expertly played music with that live performance thrill to it. And Maucha Adnet's wonderful singing on important tracks. Very well-recorded as well.
