So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[Buddha the Magnificent]

Martin Lutz Group - Where Are The Trumpets? (Calibrated Recording, 2007).  Martin Lutz - keyboards; Jacob Rose - alto sax, clarinet, b clarinet; Jakob Skov - woodwinds; Mads Ole - tenor, soprano sax; Lars Johnsen - bass; Ricco Kjaer - drums, perc; Paolo Russo - bandoneon.  I really like this one and their 2011 recording It's Swing - Not Rocket Science!

I really like Perdomo's music -- but I've not heard that one.  What do you think kinuta? (Or others?)

Hey, Hutch!  I like it a lot, as good as any of the other half dozen Perdomos I have.

The last of Mobley's Blue Note albums missing in my collection. Had an LP copy and sold it, but never got the CD. But last week I thought it was a shame I didn't have it. IMO it is one of the weakest Mobley albums - the two pop tunes fail to inspire him. Pulled it from the mailbox today after work and played it - I like those typical Mobley hard bop tunes the best, and Lamont Johnsons Maiden Voyage inspired final tune - Hancock sophistication going Boogaloo.

Let's see how many lifetimes pass before this happens again. None of us will live to see it, I'll bet. Not all of this.

Listening in memory of Gerri Allen, because you talk about who set the example of surviving, not just with a life in music, but an integrity of character that never gets discombobulated by the traps that life gleefully offers up to rob us of our beautiful "otherness" (no matter what or how many forms it takes) or render it impotent/irrelevant, well, here you go.

RIP Gerri Allen. RIP Duke Ellington. RIP all the beautiful spirits, now, then, to come, forever.
