So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Tyshawn Sorey Trio - Live at the Village Vanguard

with Lovano and Frisell recreating the Motian trio, from the recent livestream, I'm guessing.  Unauthorised, I'm sure.

I loved it. Brett Allen on guitar is really good.

Stanley Cowell, Billy Harper, Reggie Workman and Billy Hart - Such Great Friends (Strata-East, 1983).

First time I’ve listened to this one. I’m enjoying it. A fuller and richer sound than you normally expect from the early 1980s.

Now on: 

Blue Gene (Prestige, 1958) by Gene Ammons.

This time disc IV: So, about the Amsterdam Concert I can say, that it has the same tunes like the "Great Concert in Paris", but "Paris" has a much better recording sound. One very nice thing is, that here on "Sophisticated Lady" it´s also 16 bars of Jakie Byard solo. 

There is much great stuff happenig, but I like the "Paris Concert" more. 

And I hope it´s not a sacrileg, but I´m not really happy with Johnny Coles on trumpet. Somehow, as we see from the Paris concert, the proceedings go even better without him.

Somehow, he doesn´t really fit into that group of giants like Dolphy, Byard, and Clifford Jordan, who becomes greater and stronger every time. 

Johnny Coles has a more plaintative sound, it reminds me a bit of Ornette Coleman if he played trumpet. 

And on the Amsterdam section you sometimes have difficulties to hear the bass, which is a pity, since Mingus, as I think, was the most exiting  bass player ever, with all due respect to Paul Chambers and Ron Carter and all of them. 

And Danny Richmond get´s more spotlight on the Paris Concert.

I was expecting a really godawful record, but in fact got a good quantity of upbeat E-Z cheer, disposably keepable for the next time you want cocktail music for people who are tired of Chet Atkins and want something more mod-y and peppey. But you do need to take Joe's head off the guitar neck, I get that it was intended to be an olive on a swizzle stick, but, ok, Joe, you tried. Now let's go and get that fixes, thanks buddy!

And let's all take note, because this is important - he does NOT ruch the time here, not at all. Extra 25 Enjoymnet Points for that alone!

The first 8 tracks here are a trio with Teddy Wilson and Jo Jones and are worth the price of admission alone.

Hank Mobley "Roll Call" Blue Note Japan 24bit by RVG cd.

Lots of energy in that recording space

"Honi Gordon Sings" Prestige cd 

I love the song "Strollin'" . . . this version and others. Haven't spun this cd in some time and I'm enjoying the revisit. Great band with Byard, McIntyre, Richardson, Duvivier and Shaughnessy.
