So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[HutchFan]

Earlier: Listened to the Hermeto disc above for a second time.

 

Now:

Mike Westbrook Orchestra - On Duke's Birthday (hat ART)

 

[ghost of miles]

This is my favorite of the three Wounded Bird Kenyatta reissues I picked up recently.  In fact, pretty much ready to listen to it again right away:

New-on-the-scene British pianist. Acknowledged my suggestion that Barry Harris was an influence. Notice he got to accompany Grant Stewart on his 2020 tour.

What a great cover it has.

 

Now listening to:

Wadada Leo Smith - Ten Freedom Summers (Cuneiform, 2012)

Someone told me this is the highest ranked record of all time on Metacritic. 

That makes sense, I guess, because it is really really good, but I am trying to imagine the average music listener coming across it.

Needed something different!

"Count Basie at Newport" Verve Master Edition cd

[Peter Friedman]

[Joe]

[jazzbo]

Right now, scratching my frequent itch to play Jobim music. 

Joe Henderson "Double Rainbow--The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim" Verve cd.

[Gheorghe]

Like the Croydon Concert from the same year and period, this is also great live Art Pepper with my favourite quartet. In that summer, Art Pepper also performed at "Velden Jazz Festival", but as much as I remember he didn´t have his own quartet and had to perform with Stan Getz´s rhythm section. I think, Lou Levy was on piano, to bad that it was not recorded, Pepper with Lou Levy , with all due respect to Milcho Leviev and George Cables, also would have been some interesting stuff.

I think Pepper may have made a record with Levy for the Japanese Atlas label, one of those records that couldn't be released in Pepper's name because he was signed exclusively to Galaxy.  ... Don't recall for sure though. (And if they did, I don't have the record.)

It does seem like Pepper and Levy would've made a very natural pairing.
