It's been some time since I have played this one and I wanted to hear the lush strings reproduced so well here.

This was the first work I heard from Ms Possi. . . and it made me a fan!

Not to my taste. This made it clear that Bunky Green is not a jazz alto saxophone whose  playing I find of interest.

This is one of the Maybecks to which I tend to return.

I am often disappointed in Turrentine records, but then there are some that I think are just magical, such as this.

I saw them when they first came to London (I think). One of the most memorable gigs of my life. I was so impressed. I think they gave me a hernia.

Deodato's arrangements make the difference for me.

Just finished:

Alexander von Schlippenbach - Pakistani Pomade (FMP, 1973)

Now on: 

Wynton Marsalis - Standard Time, Vol. 5: The Midnight Blues (Columbia, 1998)

Wynton with strings works, I think. I enjoy this one a lot more than the other more well known standards sets that he did in the 1980s.

You've been playing this a lot recently. Looks worth a go.

Yes, Shot on Goal is definitely worth checking out. 

And Silva's Speak No Evil is outstanding too -- maybe even better.   

 

 

 

Now spinning:

Really a great regathering of original bop stars.
