So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Gheorghe]

The title of the album sounds much more like Sun Ra, but it´s pure Max Roach with Odean Pope, Cecil Bridgewater, Calvin Hill, and they Play some bop standards like "Straight No Chaser" "Good Bait" (in 3/4 time), Tricotism (bass feature), two ballads (If you could see me now, I remember Clifford), and 2 Max Roach Originals.

Don't know about the book which I'm sure is very good, but the CD sure is excellent. 

I met Clark Terry at a gig six years ago and told him I'd been reading biographies of British jazz musicians. He said there'd be another coming out - of his Dad - and he'd be writing it. I promised to buy a copy.

Yes, it's very good. Stan, a very introverted character, seems to have kept detailed diaries throughout much of his life. Very useful for a biographer!

Is it possible that this was the only Tina Brooks album that was issued during his lifetime? As much as I remember the others were issued after his death. I think, "Back to the Tracks" got a cataloge number but was not issued. 

All his recorded Music is very fine, also all his stuff as a sideman, above all I like very much the Kenny Burrel "Five Spot" where Brooks is especially fine.

Oh my....all candy, all the time...look out ears, you know you got a sweet tooth!

[HutchFan]

This has been one of my favorites for a long time.

[JSngry]

ended up on my iPod somehow, no idea...it ain't bad. It ain't great either, but it ain't bad. Pretty good, actually, in that post 2nd Quintet BN spinoff records kind of way.

Just not sure how it ended up on my iPod.

I am liking Marcus Gilmore here.

[Peter Friedman]

With Ben Webster, Frank Rosolino, Andre Previn, Leroy Vinnegar, Shelly Manne.

This album has some of Ben Webster's best playing on record. (in my opinion)

Oh yeah. An he's an excellent drummer.  And it runs in the family -- since he's Roy Haynes' grandson.

 

 

NP:

Frank Kimbrough, Joe Locke - Saturn's Child (OmniTone)
Almost inevitably (given the instrumentation), this is reminiscent of Chick & Gary Burton.  A little less ECM-y though.

"Ebb Tide" should be heard to be believed.

Eric Dolphy "The Illinois Concert" Blue Note cd

[JSngry]

This is a really good record from perhaps an unlikely time, but from a not at all unlikely combination. And it's nice to hear this as a trio, without any of the "usual suspects" along on saxophones.
