The Brecker Brothers – Return Of The Brecker Brothers (GRP, 1992)

 

It's an excellent record. 

"Song for Barry" is my favorite track. Have it also in a great live version

Too bad there is no recordings of the Earl Hines Band that had so much young talent in it. I think it was also Budd Johnson, and some who later became bop stars, including Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughn also.....

Yes.  The closest thing that we have are the Billy Eckstine band recordings from 1944-1945.  But Bird wasn't present on any of those.

Don't understand a word of it but it just swings!

Well I´ll do ! thank you ! But it must be a certain mood and a certain amount of time when I´m not listening to figure out, but just listening. One thing is sure, it swings. But my first choice if I felt like listening to Ella always was the "Ella and Basie".

Listening to Dave Schildkraut with Stan Kenton, Johnny Richards, Miles, and Chuck Wayne and had to come back to this one.

[Balladeer]

Philip Catherine with Paulo Morello & Sven Faller - Pourquoi (Enja/Yellowbird)

Subtle, wonderful sounds on electric guitar, nice flow, gorgous pieces -
PC is a gentle giant on this late masterpiece

a long-time favorite... played Tony Bennett's Cloud 7 yesterday which also features Wayne, Schildkraut and the elusive trumpeter Charles Panelly...

Now playing:

Egberto Gismonti - Nó Caipira (Carmo; originally EMI Brazil, 1978)

with Gismonti's Academia De Danças:
- Mauro Senise (ss, as, fl)
- Zeca Assumpção (b)
- Zé Eduardo Nazário (d, perc)

and orchestra

IMO, this album is unclassifiable and brilliant, a tour-de-force.  I don't think I've ever heard music that integrates such a wide range of disparate elements/styles/genres so organically and so successfully.

And really, really enjoying it. The booklet is also very good. I've picked two bibliographical references from it.

Pick this one up if you can still find it.  If I could have only one blues disc, it would be disc 2 from this set.  (It is not a selected compilation as the title might suggest but all of Muddy Waters' first recordings for Chess)

What he said, but if you are looking for more move on to this

and then this

I spent many hours hearing Muddy and band on the South Side (Pepper's Lounge) and North Side (Big John's) in the '60s and '70s.
