oe Locke David Hazeltine “Mutual Admiration Society” Sharp Nine cd

I have enjoyed revisting this and “2” its sequel. I especially like the lower tempo numbers where the vibraphone “rings out” more. Engineering is really nice on this–all instruments are well portrayed and the overall balance seems very natural.

Yeah yesterday in Utrecht  it was an amazing experience. The addition of Anja Lechner works out perfectly. 
 

 

now onto this one:

the cover reminds me immediately of the excitement I felt during the Arab spring revolutions. I really had a feeling something was about to change in the Middle East for a while. A year later I visited Egypt under Morsi and I already felt things weren’t turning out good. And if you look at those countries now: Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Libya…. It all turned out the wrong way. Even Brahems Tunisia is off worse now than under Ben Ali. It makes me sad. Brahems music suits excellent for that mood. Great record.

Jimmy Smith “Cool Blues” Blue Note RVG Edition cd

Despite the complaints many raise against RVG Edition cds I find quite a few that sound really nice at least to me on my system–this is one of them. Great music here!

Drums – Art Blakey or Donald Bailey
Guitar – Eddie McFadden
Organ – Jimmy Smith
Tenor Saxophone – Tina Brooks

Recorded live on mono at Small’s Paradise, New York City on April 7, 1958.

Remastered in 2001. All transfers from the analog tapes to digital were made at 24-bit resolution. The original CD issue on this material (B2-84441) contained pitch errors that have since been corrected.
