I need to try it again. I wasn't that into it the first time I heard it.

Rab,

Is that your reaction to Solal in general?  Or is it just this particular LP?

Just wondering.

A mix. I love Solal with Konitz (really love - some of my favourite tunes and albums) but I am otherwise allergic to him.

Currently on:

Tjader Plays Mambo (Fantasy, 1954)

Not my favourite Tjader Fantasy, but good enough. I love the simplicity of the cover.

Interesting.  I've noticed that many (most?) listeners have STRONG reactions to Solal's music.  Very positive or very negative.  Like super-strong coffee.    

I suppose it's obvious that I think he's the bee's knees.  

It sounds like you might be one of the few in the middle -- with a "Konitz clause."

Me too.

But this LP is my MOST favorite Konitz / Solal collaboration:

 

One of my desert-island discs, for sure.

I'm a devotee of European Episode on Campi. 

In terms of just a track, rather than the whole record, their version of Just Friends on Satori is really up there for me.

You'll get no argument from me on that.  I think Satori is a masterpiece from start to finish.

Top notch ....

After reading that exchange re: Solal and Konitz, I played this one.

I prefer my Konitz with Sal Mosca, Ronnie Ball and a few other pianists.

Orquestra Tabajara De Severino Araújo "Tabajara Plays Jobim"

A really dynamic, fun disc.

Two perennial Lee Konitz favorites here ....

Re-spinning this one, Doug Carn "Infant Eyes." This is one of the nicest recordings in the Black Jazz label if you ask me, just nicely engineered to an enveloping sound field. And great playing, and singing by Mrs. Carn. "Always keep room in your heart for love."

Real Gone Music managed to reissue all the catalog! A wonderful thing!

To be honest, found this one to be rather dull.

Gonzalo Rubalcaba "Antiguo" Blue Note cd

From what I think of as his "Zawinul" period. Still dig it.

Followed by disc 2 of Lee Morgan "Complete Live at the Lighthouse" Blue Note Japan SHM-CD edition.
