Joe Farnsworth, City of Sounds (Smoke Sessions)

[HutchFan]

One of my top discoveries of 2021. Even tho' it came out in 1996, it was new to me. 

Sylvester's sound reminds me a bit of Arthur Blythe's, without being derivative. They just have a similar sort of pungency. 

IMO, the best cuts are the ones with percussionist Bobby Sanabria sitting in. 

If you'd like a taste:

I still think that's a lousy cover photo. I wonder if Joe picked it himself? He's doesn't look like he's digging the sun in his eyes. Maybe Joe got a kick out if it?

Good CD though. Everyone plays well.

Definitely on my Ogun want list. I see it is back in print.

That cover design always reminds me of ‘Agharta’.

Joe Farnsworth can make almost any date a good one. I love to see Joe on the stage. He has never disappointed me.

I just bought the reissue [Frames by Keith Tippett's Ark]. Arrived at my US dealer Nov. 15. Lots of Ogun reissues these days!

Here's listening to the recent Omnivore 2-CD release of his solo piano private recordings, on a repeat mode. What a fascinating player! A mix of Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell (or rather Elmo Hope?) with hints of Art Tatum.

Nice thing, got it from my wife last Chrismas, fine how she knows which artists I might like and what I maybe don´t have.

This is from the early 60´s, really a period I don´t have much Dizzy. 
I must admit that Dizzy first of all was one of my first inspirations for bop and bop influenced latin, I love all his compositions and above all his trumpet. 

Maybe I was sloppier in collecting stuff of Diz from the mid fifties on. He was heavy under Norman Granz and most of the albums are reunions with other musicians from other styles and sometimes I don´t hear the kind of drummers that I like to hear together with Diz. 

But this one is very interesting. Fine playing by all musicians, Leo Wright lived in my hometown during his last years, he was married to a very fine Viennese female singer. 

Very interesting the piano of Lalo Schifrin. 
He has a very very developed technique and really plays. But he is most beautiful when playing the lines and stuff, but maybe it´s my fault, if he goes playing block chords it is a bit too much, a bit too powerful. I like Block Chords more in a the way Garland would do it. In the way Schifrin plays it it sounds a bit like an angry woodpecker.....
