Quote

"Being influenced by composers such as Olivier Messiaen and Toru Takemitsu, Celine Voccia studied classical piano at Geneva Conservatory and jazz / improvised music in Paris and Berlin.

Double bass player Matthias Bauer is specialized in Contemporary Music and works with New Music ensembles as well as with musicians from the free improvisers scene.

Anna Kaluza studied jazz saxophone in Cologne and is mainly working in the realms of free improvisation and Free Jazz.

Together they give life to a stunning flow of free-form music, where the interplay between the three musicians is at the highest level.
A must for the more adventurous listeners!"

Here too- Towner is among my favorit guitar players - my last Item added to the collection:

 

 

👍😁

 

I can´t say it is my favourite guitar player or in general my favourite music. 
I think I saw "Oregon" once since it was on schedule of a jazz festival but can´t remember much. 
And I never was a real guitar fan with the exception of sounds of Charlie Christian, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery and Mike Stern when he was with the 1981 Miles band......
Somehow I don´t really like acoustic guitar.

Yep! Tastes are different. I played guitar during  my student days and have listened a lot  to the great Andres Segovia (the master of them all)  on classical guitar. Besides Towner  for jazz guitar my faves are Barney Kessell, Tal Farlow,  Howard Roberts & Burrell & Raney. Mike Stern with the Brecker Brothers is something special (song for Barry).

Right now, another unsung vocalist that I really enjoy Babs Gonzales. He was a complete goof. But he could also deliver straight and emotionally as he does often enough on this LP. A reissue of an earlier LP which is very hard to find:

Babs Gonzales “Babs” Chiaroscuro LP

Some of my favorite musicians behind him here!

Drums – Roy Haynes

Leader, Vocals – Babs Gonzales

Piano – Horace Parlan

Acoustic Bass – Buddy Catlett

Tenor Saxophone – Charlie Rouse, Johnny Griffin

Trombone – Melba Liston

Trumpet – Clark Terry

Violin – Ray Nance

I have his Tales of Manhattan album, which is a classic.

I also have a CD collecting a bunch of his bebop 78s, with unfortunate cover art that suggests the music was taken from Edison cylinders.

Incredibly overlooked/underrated album:

I have all I have ever encountered by him, which is nearly all written or recorded.

I once pleaded with Michael Cuscuna to collect all this into a Mosaic set. His one line response: "Lon, you are out of your mind!"

Listening now to two newly arrived Teagarden LPs from a four LP lot of Jackson I got very cheaply from eBay. First up was a mono LP of “Think Well of Me”–I’ve had the stereo on LP and cd, but never heard the mono and it’s a great mix, and sounded great. Now I’m listening to “Mis’ry and the Blues” one of my favorites–I’ve never had it on LP only on cd, and it’s a great sound stereo copy. Now I need to decide of I want to splurge on a (more expensive) mono copy. I’ll keep an eye out I’m sure I’ll find one eventually I can’t resist. I’m a Teagarden fanatic, more so as time passes.

These are my favourite of his records. But I don't own them!
