Miles Davis "Porgy and Bess" Columbia LP

Listening to my Dad's copy of this.  
I lost him on Monday evening and wanted to hear this, which we listened to together many times.

He gave this to me when he went all cd, and I have better sounding digital copies but this still sounds pretty darned good.

[Rabshakeh]

Jose Roberto Bertrami – Blue Wave (Milestone, 1983)

Marc Levin – The Dragon Suite (Savoy, 1968)

 

[BillF]

Now playing:

[Rabshakeh]

Morning Glory (Antilles, 1973)

I'm reminded of how much I really like this record.

[Peter Friedman]

I thought Ricky Ford  played very well.

Didn't care for the comping of pianist Mark Soskin.

Two terrific LPs.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, Lon. I feel that pain still today. It gets better as time passes, it evolves, but the loss itself never leaves.

[HutchFan]

Sarah Vaughan - The Benny Carter Sessions (Roulette)
Now listening to the cuts originally released as The Lonely Hours

 

 

 

Condolences on your loss, @jazzbo  So sorry to hear of your father's passing.

Thanks Jim. I'm actually doing well. I got to spend the last nine years with my Dad and develop a friendship I never dreamed I would have. And he has been bed-ridden in Hospice for 13 months, it is not right for anyone to be bed-ridden that long. He was a fantastic man I am going to celebrate rather than be sad over. That's the plan.

Saw Leo with a local rhythm section here at Club 43 in Manchester in the later 1960s. It was after he'd made his name as a member of the Gillespie quintet.

I never saw him, but one of my first three jazz LPs (all received at once) was his fantastic "Blues Shout" on Atlantic which influenced my jazz. discovery..

Big  for the Levin, don't know Bertrami at all, should I?

[jazzbo]

I had time to slip one in before family events.

Disc one of this set. 

Alain Jean-Marie "Beguine Reflections"

I've enjoyed Marie's work with Berney Wilen for a few decades but this is the first time I have heard his leader work. Very interesting!

It's a different thing. Bertrami is the keyboardist from Azymuth. It's a lot more Jazz than that group, but still...
