It has been a very long time since I sat down and listened to Canyon Lady.

I love that record.

HEY! Looky here! After Delmark's 70 years and
over twelve thousand recordings later, we get an
"anthology" of 10 tunes on a single disc. YIPPEE!
My show dedicated to Chris Strachwitz was
nearly three times longer than this.

One of my favourite McLean albums.

From LD´s BN records I think I like this one most, since it is more the kind of "jazz" that I like. I like his first album, this one, the omnipresent "Blues Walk" (for easy listening) and his sideman playing with Cliff Brown and Art Blakey and the Jimmy Smith date with also Blakey, Mobley, Donald Bird. 

Many others seem to be outright smooth to me with lesser interesting drummers, or tons of albums with organ...

Keith Jarrett “Creation” ECM cd

Solo piano from 2014. Perfect way to start a day too early.

Now:

KD's best?  I think so.

 

Last night:

Disc 1:  Such a superb compilation.  It's terrific to hear Louis in so many contexts -- with different bands (King Oliver, Clarence Williams, Fletcher Henderson, his own Hot Five) and backing various singers (Maggie Jones, Bessie Smith, "Chippie" Hill).  . . . Armstrong's comprehensive sets are essential, of course.  But I feel like the variety here makes for an experience that's more like spinning a (big!) stack of 78s.

Milton Nascimento - Milton (A&M, 1976)
with:
- Milton Nascimento – guitar, vocals, arranger

- Wayne Shorter – soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone
- Raul De Souza – trombone
- Herbie Hancock – piano
- Hugo Fattoruso – piano, electric organ

I think this is a masterpiece, beyond category.
