For those who like these musicians (and I realize that not everyone does), this is a superb recording. 

 

Now: Realized I hadn't listened to any Valery in a while, so pulled this one off my shelf at random for a listen. Then I realized this is not the most appropriately titled CD to be listening to under the circumstances.

Looks like Ray Bryant is subbing for Ramsey.

He's doing an amazing job and Carmen is really "on."

 

Right now

Mezz Mezzrow "1936-1939" Chronogical Classics cd

Some great music on Bluebird and Decca, much featuring the amazing Tommy Ladnier.

ML DD 4 - Was Macht Ihr Denn?

[soulpope]

[Peter Friedman]

New name to me. Stephenson sings well, and plays some fine tenor sax on a few tracks. The piano player is also a very good"new" player - Julius Rodriguez.

Woody Shaw - United (Columbia, 1981)

Now:

I love Buster Williams' accompaniment on this album.

Nice album, though. 

Probably my favourites are Profile and A Star for You.

I think Profile is my favourite. But all his CD's are solid.

Sonny Rollins - Love at first sight (Milestone, 1981)

One of the Rollins records I like most from his later period (although it’s closer to his debut than to us now). There’s a swing-like dedication to the tunes. Plus it’s fun to hear the recovering fusionite backing group play so straight ahead.

Yep ....

Steve Lacy - Dreams (Saravah, 1975)

Not true of the whole record, but to my ears the opening track "The Uh Uh Uh" sounds very much like  electric era Ornette Coleman.

Yes indeed. The McConnell crew is always top of the line.

The cover of my edition looks a bit different

Farnsworth is playing here in ATL this weekend. I may go see him, depending on how my days shake out.  With Mark Whitfield on guitar.

wrong guitarist

Currently on this mad one:

Arturo Sandoval - Tumbaito

This is my first time with pre-defection Sandoval. It's pretty... maximalist.
