I´ve never heard that. Maybe only a duet would be a bit too spartanic for me. I think both at that time were a bit past their prime, at least Dizzy mostly had bands, where he was "supported" by fellow trumpetists like Sandoval, John Faddis etc, so I always wondered how they could manage to make a full album . I had seen a video of Diz with Max also from the 80s, where Diz had a big band and then a vintage bop quintet with the interesting choice of Mulligan on bs, and Max was on drums and it was a wonderful set of some of the best bop standards, almost as good as the "bop session 1975".

Both excellent ....

The Hawk Talks session fron this double CD. A Mosaic box set of the Bellson Clef/Verve sessions would be really great. Much more varied and interesting than Buddy Rich.

[mikeweil]

Bellson is a much more interesting drum soloist than Rich.

David Sanborn – Straight To The Heart

Me too now.

The 'Hideaway' album was a gateway from Bowie to Jazz for me. Just looked it up, I saw him in a rammed Town & Country club in 1992, it was great.

Now streaming:

Quarteto Em Cy (Odeon Brazil, 1972); reissued by Elemental

Although they're very different, I think learning to get inside The Singers Unlimited's music laid the groundwork for my understanding of this group. . . . Coming out of bossa nova, this quartet taps into that early-70s Euro-sophistication/decadence vibe, but -- paradoxically -- there's also a strain (maybe even more prominent) of late-60s idealism/pop-innocence.  Naturally, they're locked in on that delicious, distinctively Brazilian sway & sinuousness too.  Since I don't know Portuguese, I have no idea what they're saying.  Regardless, from a purely musical point of view, it's an intoxicating mix.

(Im)pure Pop for Now (no-longer-young) People.

Chick Corea Elektric Band – To The Stars

Chick's clientology record. A tone poem inspired by the works of Elron. David Weckl kills on this record, even if it isn't all that great otherwise.

A ride on a rocket ship or a slog through the muck.  You never quite know what you're gonna get with Chick.

I always found the Elektric Band to be slog through the muck, and is some of the only Chick I have fully excused myself from ever needing to explore further.
