Excellent!  

 

Yes, I really warmed to it today.  Previously I'd found it a bit studied/academic but not today

[kh1958]

Lee Morgan, The Complete Live at the Lighthouse (disc 1) (Blue Note)

[duaneiac]

Mr. Brown graciously autographed the booklet for this CD when I saw him at Yoshi's one night.  In addition to his musical talents, he also deserved high marks for penmanship!

Dizzy Reece - Asia Minor (New Jazz, 1962).

Bud Powell "1962 Copenhagen" new Steeplechase cd

Great cover art by Saul Bass I think

This really is shaping up to be a special release on initial play through the 4 discs

Yes sir!

 

Next up:

Duke's duet with bassist John Lamb at the beginning of "Ad Lib on Nippon" is so loose, airy, and abstract that it's like an improvised composition within the larger composition.  It feels like these sorts of moments from Duke are sideways glances through partially opened doors, like he's anticipating what would be happening in the avant garde -- and jazz in general -- in the coming years.

Now:

 In one way or another I've been listening to a lot of Dameron lately. Five of the eight tracks on this CD are Dameron compositions.

In an interview Magnarelli named his Dameron date as one of his favourites.

Plenty of Tadd on this too:

Just reading about this, "provocative aplomb" sounds intriguing.

I hadn't seen that bandcamp page. So many words.

I'm actually very impressed by it. I see from Bandcamp that he has a lot of other records out, mostly in group format. If anyone has any they've enjoyed, please let me know.

I've not heard the name before.  If you're on a solo sax thing at the moment let me recommend 'Dreamsing' by Rachel Musson.

And no, I'm not her agent or family...

Got it. Just got a share in the distribution profits.

I will check that one out too.

Thanks!

Spinning this one to start the day because I had to stop it fifteen minutes in yesterday to deal with family stuff and the system was shut down for the rest of the day. . . .

Bud is playing really well here.
