"Classic Don Byas Sessions 1944-1946" Mosaic Records 10 cd set, disc V1

Don-Byas-Mini-4x4x300-e1697375028728-102

Some great Sammy Benskin on piano, and early Monk.

Don Byas is great! I am not sure if he made many albums, I have the Savoy double album, and a Black Lion album "Anthropology". 

 

Last night I spinned 2 albums: 

Freddie Hubbard at Keystone is great, wonderful live stuff. I like very much that great composition "First Light", and that live version of "Red Clay".

On the other hand, my very very very favourite generally in music, Pharoah Sanders sometimes played just straight ahead music and was top in that field too: Here he does old stuff like "On A Misty Night". But I like most the title tune "Heart is a Melody" even if it´s borrowed from "The Creator" , and the great "We goin´to Africa".

He made quite a few recordings. What I loved about this disc was the Monk piano, and the wonderful playing of pianist Sammy Benskin who didn't record nearly enough.

 

Now on to

Don Rendell Ian Carr “Live” Universal Japan lp facsimile SHM-CD

 

9bfbef33d20bcb8d8f5e74a12ca06b35c3e2f241
Bass – Dave Green
Drums – Trevor Tomkins
Piano – Michael Garrick
Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet – Don Rendell
Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Ian Carr
 
I just want to note that the engineering on this Carr-Rendell cd (original recording and excellent digital mastering) is superb. Natural and dynamic sound, and the recording of Garrick’s piano is excellent.
