So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

I needed some soothing. So I spun two discs from soothing singers.

Eliane Elias "Love Stories"

Then 
Helen Merrill "Lilac Wine"

That worked! Now I need something more bracing. . . 

Thelonious Monk "Live at the It Club" disc 2

(I am finally getting used to the remastered It Club recordings, after decades of listening to them on LP with Columbia reverb painted on heavily).

Brew Moore with a variety of sidemen.

Brew is known to have said (paraphrase) "If a tenor player does not play like Prez he is wrong".

Most of the other tenor players influenced by Lester Young were also influenced to a lesser extent by Charlie Parker. The other exception is Paul Quinichette.

Always pretty good, sometimes very good. Billy Bang's contributions to the the ensemble sound (where they are) are significant.

If you get more bounce with Curtis Counce do you get more crunch with Johnny Bunch?

Can you get more smack with Roberta Flack?

Hard to go wrong with such a killer band: Joe Henderson, Kenny Garrett, Steve Nelson, Mulgrew Miller, Christian McBride. This album kicks ass

I heard it first in the 70´s on a brown Bellaphone album from the series "Jazz Tracks" featuring this session (with the tracks splitted in 2 Parts, maybe from 78 RMP sides. 

Great ! My aims was to play Dizzy Athmosphere at that tempo, really a challenge

I remember when Mulgrew toured that album - no Henderson and McBride but Nelson was in the lineup as well as Wallace Roney. Good stuff.

I forgot to mention Eddie Henderson. Wallace Roney would be a fine replacement!
