HutchFan Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Tony Williams - Native Heart (Blue Note, 1990) with Wallace Roney, Billy Pierce, Mulgrew Miller, and Ira Coleman (or Robert Hurst on half the cuts) What a great band. I love Tony's hookup with Mulgrew. It was a perfect hand-in-glove fit. and Jaco Pastorius - Word of Mouth (Warner Brothers, 1981) Edited February 22, 2021 by HutchFan Quote

duaneiac Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 The only Chick Corea band I ever saw in performance was his Origin group. It was a very enjoyable, kind of loose set at Yoshi's. Mr. Corea played piano & marimba, as he does on this CD. I recalled really liking this disc back when it was new (1999) and was pleased to find the music still sounds holds up. Nothing uniquely innovative, just some engaging compositions played by a very good jazz ensemble. Quote

jazzbo Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 Listening to this one again to start off my listening day. I had forgotten how prettily Zoot plays on the soprano sax. Like Barney Wilen he has a distinct and pretty sound on all the horns he plays. I'm also really enjoying Tana's subtle drumming. Zoot Sims "I Wish I Were Twins" Pablo cd Quote
JSngry Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Posted February 22, 2021 I wonder what Eno would do producing a straight jazz record? Why would anybody even think that? Quote

Nothing uniquely innovative, just some engaging compositions played by a very good jazz ensemble. The single disc of that group live at the Blue Note is quite enjoyable. I picked up the box set a few years ago for a ridiculous price ($10 new, I think?!) and while it’s not perhaps Miles-at-the-Plugged-Nickel worthy, still a somewhat underrated point in the Corea discography. (There’s no overlap between the single disc and the box set, btw.) Right now: Edited February 22, 2021 by ghost of miles Quote

Right now Abbey Lincoln "Straight Ahead" Candid/Solid Records Japan cd, mono mix. Haven't listened to this for some time. . . what a BAND!
