Just a masterpiece as all of Herbie´s BN albums. As many of my generation, we first had heard the versions of "Maiden" and "Eye of the Hurricane" with VSOP and it was later that I got the BN . With the exception of George Coleman this is the whole later VSOP band. Anyway I head George Coleman with his own group about the same time (around the making of "Amsterdam after Dark".....

Renee Rosnes - Kinds Of Love (Smoke Sessions Records). Renee's latest release. As usual, some great compositions played by a great band, with Chris Potter on sax, flute & clarinet, Christian McBride on bass, Carl Allen on drums & Rogerio Boccato on percussian. Unusual to hear her on the Fender Rhodes on a couple of tunes. I can't remember her playing one on any of her other CDs.

Last one before I head off to continue packing up my Dad's. We both love this one. . . so beautiful. . . late Jobim was an acquired taste for me but now I just have to have it.

It is, a Japanese variant...and both seem to come through Interplay some how...bottom line, it was a Danish Radio broadcast. Interesting to hear Warne with such an aggressive drummer. Doesn't seem to bother him at all.

I really like trolling through So What Are You Listening To Now as I am often reminded of great records that I need to reinvestigate. This one, on the other hand, I knew nothing about, and it definitely looks like one I need to know.

Two albums by Sheila Jordan -- her 1962 debut and then a leap to 2003:

I agree.  And that album in particular is probably their finest hour (on record).

Yeah, you can smell the factory, BFD.

AFAIC, if you don't know Ruth Brown, your knowledge of American music has a gap that should be filled. so why wait? Check out some Ruth Brown today!
