Herbie Mann - Flautista!

 

I find that Herbie Mann records have a roughly 20% hit rate, but the ones I like, I really like.

That's a great Mann record.

Right now

Dexter Gordon Quartet "Live in Chateauvallon" Elemental Music disc 1 of 2

Nicely recorded at the Jazz Festival in '78. With George Cables, Rufus Reid and Eddie Gladden.

Metamorphosen/Metamorphsis is something I keep coming back to. An amazing piece.

Bass Communion

Roy Campbell - Ethnic Stew and Brew (Delmark, 2000)

"Chet Baker in Paris" box set of the Barclay Recordings, disc 1. I just adore the nine performances with Dick Twardzik; it's tragic we lost him so young.

Duke Ellington "Such Sweet Thunder" CBS France cd

Earl Hines & Jimmy Rushing "Blues & Things" Master Jazz/New World cd

WOW. I forgot how great this disc is. Five masters who know what to do, and boy do they get it done. And the producer and engineer are right there with them, capturing all the nuances and presenting them to you gently, as if you were sitting fifteen feet away in awe.

Such a relaxed swing and careful yet happy delivery. 

WOW.

I put this on when my parents are around. They hate music but this is something they'll tolerate for some reason. Just a great vibe. Another of those fantastic albums that shows just how arbitrary the dividing line between jazz and blues can be sometimes.

Tutty Moreno "Forcas D'Alma" cd. I love this drummer. His wife Joyce appears on this one too, and alto player Nailor Proventa is awesome here.

Or Earl Hines. Or Budd Johnson. Or for that matter Bill Pemberton or Oliver Jackson!

I caught that Eastern Rebellion group with Berg on several occasions - he was great in that context. 

Yep .... and Bob Berg very promising at that time ....
