So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Ted O'Reilly]

I think this was Putte Wickman's last recording...  Wonderful playing right to the end if so!  Everything's right about this disc...

[Peter Friedman]

Disc one - Interesting to hear Art Pepper with Duke Jordan.

This morning I spent with my Dad and on the hour plus trip there and then the hour plus trip back I listened to:

The debut release from Miki Yamanaka, a nice pianist with Steve Nelson on vibes.

and Duke Ellington "The Pianist"

This afternoon Fiona the dachshund and I toughed the hot weather upstairs to listen to:

Helen Merrill "You and the Night and the Music"

Wynton Marsalis "The Magic Hour"

Grant Green "Carryin' On" Blue Note 80th Anniversary reissue cd

I love this record. I think when I first heard the title tune "E.S.P." it was on a Miles Davis Sampler "Greatest Hits". Then, this was a cheap way to buy some Miles. Later I bought all the Albums of Course. From the first CBS "Round Midnight" until the last "Agharta". I think I like most the Albums from 1963 on, the live stuff and the Studio productions with the second great quintet.

 I listened to the complete recording (different takes) what becomes a little boring after a time but the record itself is very nice !

[Gheorghe]

@Referentzhunter: You are Right, now I remember it, it was my same Impression on first Hearing. I think one must understand under what circumstances the Album was made, it was just the movie score for that Film Noir. 

For my personal tastes, I also prefer the other records that Miles made during that period, the first quintet, the Prestige and Columbia Albums.

This morning I'm re-listeneing to two I spun yesterday:

The debut release from Miki Yamanaka, a nice pianist with Steve Nelson on vibes.

Grant Green "Carryin' On" Blue Note 80th Anniversary reissue cd

Miki's is a very nice sounding release. I wish I liked Joey Baron more--his work doesn't really thrill me, so I'd have welcomed a different drummer.

The Green is not among his best work but this new mastering has made me appreciate it more. Some nice song choices.

Disc 1: I only own this single disc, but I would like to buy the whole set at some point. 

[Peter Friedman]

[HutchFan]

Scott Colley - The Magic Line (Arabesque)
trio with Chris Potter & Bill Stewart

For the decade or so that Arabesque was in the jazz game, they released some outstanding music.

James Moody - Return from Overbrook (Chess)
Compiles two Argo LPs originally released as The Last Train from Overbrook (1958) and Flute 'n the Blues (1956).

Powerfully soulful music.

[Peter Friedman]

[HutchFan]

Anthony Braxton - Five Pieces 1975 (Arista)

Powerfully soulful music (of a different sort ).

I finally got around to opening this two cd set that arrived a few weeks back. Nice sound. Great performances. 

Stan Getz, "Getz at the Gate" disc 1
