So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[HutchFan]

Sir Roland Hanna - Solo: Round Midnight (Town Crier, 1987)

A remedy for the Monday morning blues.     

 

[HutchFan]

Now this:

[ghost of miles]

[Peter Friedman]

Disc 4 - Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb

[Gheorghe]

finally it arrived here. Wonderful, especially "More than you Know". Some have critics about George Cables ´ ballad features, but I really like what he does here. Dexter is wonderful. And very great solos by Rufus Reid and Eddie Gladden too.

[Dan Gould]

Sammy Price Sextet featuring George Kelly, November 12 1977. Somewhere in France I think.

Sonny Rollins - Reel Life (Milestone/OJC, 1982)

Picked up this CD a few weeks ago, so I'm still getting to know it.  But I dig it. ... Of course, it's nowhere near Sonny's heaviest record, even from the Milestone years.  Plus there's that early-80's soundtrack-y sheen happening production-wise.  But still.  Sonny is Sonny. ... And when he launches into "McGhee."  Whoooooo!!!  LOOK OUT!!!

This morning in the car:

[jazzbo]

SF Jazz Collective "Wonder: the Music of Stevie Wonder"

A studio album (not a compilation from the live cds of the tour for this music by the Collective). Quite nice.

Did they record this CD before or after touring?  Or was their tour perhaps curtailed by the pandemic?

I have a few of their CD sets (the first five and #7) and have seen them in SF a few times, the most recent being when they were performing the music of Jobim.  I still wish they would do "The Music of Bobby Hutcherson" one year.  He deserves that.

[HutchFan]

Charlie Rouse - Epistrophy: The Last Concert (Savoy; originally Landmark)
with George Cables, et al

 

[jazzbo]

Horace Silver Quintet, "The Stylings of Silver" 24 bit by RVG Blue Note Japan cd

Yes !!! ... That is OVER-due.

This was recorded in the studio in 2012, after the 2011 tour. There's a new flood of copies of these sets lately on both amazon and Dusty Groove--the latter are cheaper when they have them. I have a few on the way that I think complete my collection. Yes, I'd love to see a Hutcherson tour planned and recorded.

[jazzbo]

Charlie Parker, "The Savoy 10 Inch LP Collection" Concord cd

Sound is pretty darned good. I thought a 10 inch was an EP? Regardless this was a good excuse to buy this material over again!

Thanks for letting me know about that.  I will have to be on the lookout for some of their other sets then.

Now playing:

An EU reissue which, in addition to this trio album, also includes Jazz Epistle -- Verse 1 by The Jazz Epistles, both albums from 1960.
