The title is "Giant Steps" in French - she wrote her own French lyrics, inluding the solo. Excellent disc.

Back in May, JazzWax had a column on Hank Mobley in Vocalese where she and several artists were featured. They were all good but I was impressed by her. I've sampled some of her work that she's posted on YouTube. Good stuff.

Discs 14 & 15

Perfect fits in abundance.

Curtis Fuller "The Opener" Blue Note Japan RVG lp facsimile cd. Over the years improving my system has made me really appreciate this series of releases from Japan. This month and last I purchased a few dozen of the most reasonably priced I could find that I did not have yet.

"He Loved Him Madly" has many ways in, out, and all around. This, however obscure, is definitely one of them.

 

[Justin V]

Javon Jackson (w/ Les McCann) - Lucky 13

[JSngry]

"Maiysha" intersecting with Rahsaan and/or vice-versa...just saying, nothing happens in a vacuum.

 

[duaneiac]

A generous 25 track compilation which includes the namesake album (which included Tommy Flanagan and Jo Jones) from1959 along with tracks which find Ms. Osborne in such company as Mary Lou Williams, Beryl Booker and Coleman Hawkins.

As more Dolphy was required .... :

Dreamers, not Drippers.

What stood out the most for me on these two Red Rodney Quintet sessions was the fine bebop alto playing of Jimmy Ford.

Willis Jackson & Pat Martino together are always potent.

Where's the ENVY emoticon??? 😉

 

NP:

The first of Basie's and Peterson's two-piano, small-group collaborations for Pablo. IMO, it's also the best of the series -- due in no small part to the subtle but swinging presence of Freddie Green, who does not appear on the other releases.

Another Blue Note Japan RVG LP facsimile cd, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "At the Jazz Corner of the World, Vol. 2." This features a great Blakey unit with Morgan and Mobley captured in great sound.

I followed this with a great cd from Eliane Elias, "I Thought about You: A Tribute to Chet Baker"

Cd 8

Ceremony * La Noir a Soixante

Listening to Eliane Elias "I Thought about You" again as it sounds so good and suits my mood today. Makes me think of my lovely wife who came into my life "Just in Time."

Followed by
 
Dizzy Reece "Blues In Trinity" Japanese Blue Note RVG LP facsimile edition cd. I've always liked this one and this is the best sounding version on my system.

Wallington with Curly Russell and Max. I have the original lp but am listening to the cd version.

[jazzbo]

Gary Bartz "I've Known Rivers and Other Bodies" OJC cd.

I love the Bartz recordings of these years. He sings on his alto in ways no one else does.
