OliverM Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 Very much enjoying this on the morning of a strike day! Quote
Justin V Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 From the Pres Verve box. I sure hope that trombonists coming up are still checking out Vic Dickenson. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 Grateful Dead "Ready or Not". . . .This is a compilation of live tracks of songs that the last incarnation of the Dead with Garcia had never recorded in the studio. This is nowhere near the era of Dead I like and this cd hasn't changed my mind, but I had to check it out. . . . Quote

I have several of Da Fonseca's recordings, and I've enjoyed all of them. So I'm betting this one is good too. Listening to "DuDuku Da Fonseca Trio Play Don Salvador" again. It's quite a nice album.

duaneiac Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 Produced by the late Dr. Herb Wong. This album has a hidden motherlode of talent. Performing in the groups listed on the album cover one will also hear Art Pepper, Joe Henderson, Charles McPherson, Jerome Richardson, Roger Kellaway, Tom Harrell, Dave Liebman, George Mraz , Billy Higgins and more. Good stuff. Quote
duaneiac Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 The sequel album, like most sequels, is not as great, but still has an impressive cast: McCoy Tyner, Phil Woods Quintet, Chico Freeman Quartet, Sheila Jordan/Harvie Swartz and Dianne Reeves among them. Saxophonists really seem to love "The Christmas Song". Dexter, Jug and Jaws all beautifully rhapsodized on that tune -- each in their own way -- on an OJC compilation I listened to yesterday. Joe Henderson was the standout performer on this song as a member of the Mal Waldron Quartet on the CD above. Chico Freeman does a very warm version in a duo with Larry Willis here. Quote

HutchFan Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 Kenny Werner - Beat Degeneration (Night Bird/Sunnyside) with Johannes Weidenmueller (b) and Ari Hoenig (d) Outstanding music by a tremendous trio. Recorded live in Paris in November 2000, this CD is on my list of Favorite Recordings of the 21st Century. Quote
