Chris Potter - Gratitude (Verve, 2001)

I think this has aged well, unlike the truly awful cover art.

[jazzbo]

Richard Sears Sextet (featuring Al "Tootie" Heath) "Altadena" These compositions and arrangements remind me of both Charles Mingus and Wynton Marsalis small ensemble recordings. A very nice disc.

Followed by
What may be my favorite Betty Carter album, the wonderful "I'm Yours. You're Mine" which showcases her supreme artistry as a singer, a song selector, an arranger and band leader (and also talent scout).

Kenny Werner - Lawn Chair Society (Blue Note, 2007)

Knuffke too.

Why in all the world did I buy this? Probably for Ray Crawford's participation. But that isn't enough reason to keep it.

Now this instantly gets me. Paul Bryant had his own style and very subtle dynamics. Great stuff.

I didn't know that. On the presumption it's on Spotify I'll have to give it a listen.

By my count, the Dave McMurdo Jazz Orchestra made 6 recordings, 3 of them double CD sets. I have them all.

Based on a recent mention here .... superb platter ....

Still sounds incredible, every time I listen -- which is often!

Whenever I see this cover or play this music, I can't help but think of what Kenny was going through when he made this.
