Terrific!  I'm a fan of both Tjader and Palmieri, so I think they sound wonderful together.  

They also collaborated on another LP, El Sonido Nuevo.  Also easy to recommend.

I never had an opportunity to see either of them perform.  With Kenny gone, maybe I'll have a chance to catch Norma some day.

 

Definitely catch Norma, if you get the chance.

I caught Kenny’s 80th tour as well. No Norma on that one but a very fine Italian vocalist whose name escapes me for the moment (Diana Torto).

Looks like ‘The Lighthouse’ is high profile on here today.

The only time I saw Kenny was very early in his career - in 1962 in a club in Leeds when he appeared with fellow Canadian Art Ellefson in a sextet of Dankworth sidemen led by Eddie Harvey.

Interesting.  When did Wheeler emigrate from Canada to the UK?  I didn't realize that he'd already made his way over in '62.

 

 

Continuing with the Wheeler-Winstone-Taylor theme:

Live at Roccella Jonica (Ismez Polis/Splasc(H), recorded 1984)

Early 1950s I believe. At a time when it was easier to move to the UK than the US for Canadians, thanks to the old Empire links.

Wow.  I had no idea it was that early.  Good to know.

Yes, the ‘Windmill Tilter’ LP insert has a good bio write up for Kenny. He emigrated not too long after completing Royal Conservatory studies in Toronto. A big gain for us over here.

Those links also brought us Joe Harriott, Harold McNair and (for a while) Dizzy Reece.

Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch (Blue Note, 1964)

Carlos Garnett - Black Love (Muse, 1974)

I love all of the voices on this album, but I wish Dee Dee Bridgewater was on more than just one cut. She brought something extra-special to the table.
