Rabshakeh Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 Tia Fuller – Diamond Cut I've been trogging through a lot of 90s smooth jazz recently and assumed from the cover art and the reference to "diamonds" in the title that I'd added this to my to-listen list then. It is actually a reasonably advanced and perfectly enjoyable bop record, with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette as rhythm section and Sam Yahel on organ. It is in Mack Avenue, not Warner Brothers, so I should really have clocked. She backed Beyonce and was apparently Geammy-nominated, so, a bit like Donny McCaslin, she seems to be more famous with those who are listening out for pop musician's backing bands. Quote

Rabshakeh Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) John Zorn - Jamie Saft Trio – Astaroth (Book Of Angels Volume 1) John Zorn - Erik Friedlander – Volac (Book Of Angels Volume 😎 Relistening to these now, probably the best of the bunch, in my view, particularly the Saft, which would stand on its own as a very good record. Saft is not a musician whom I know at all, outside of his work with Zorn. Edited October 10, 2023 by Rabshakeh Quote
jazzbo Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 Relistening to this one this morning. This one helped me last night ease out of troubled mind from watching news analysis. It’s quite a nice release with some interesting arrangements of Strayhorn material. Planet D Nonet “Salute to Strayhorn” 1000×1000 72.3 KB Followed by Great new cd reissue.

HutchFan Posted October 10, 2023 Report Posted October 10, 2023 João Donato - A Bad Donato (Blue Thumb, 1970) I like this album. It's pleasingly strange and uncategorizable. But I think Donato's collaboration with Eumir Deodato -- DonatoDeodato (Muse, 1973) -- is even better. Quote
