Marcus Roberts “Time and Circumstance” Columbia cd

I love this disc. Roberts is a phenomenal player. I saw him live and I’ll never forget his hands speeding in a blur across the keyboard, each note perfectly articulated.

Carmen McRae “Carmen Sings Monk” RCA cd

The woman knew Monk a long time, from the 'forties, and that shows in her interpretations. It’s been too long since I have spun this wonderful disc.

In another forum someone  made the statement  'I never heard a good JAZZLAND recording'

Does the person making that statement mean good musical quality or good audio/recording quality?  Either way, it seems like an absurd thing to say.

Jazzland  JLP 933 - Harold Land  "Eastward Ho! - rec. 1960 - Engineer: Ray Fowler

Yup.  That Harold Land album is one of many examples that we could name.

Interesting MPS editions: Have quite a bunch of Herbolzheimers on vinyl  (on Panda / Koala /Teldec) and CD's.  He was leading the german youth jazz orchestra (BUJAZZO). Real excellent big band in the traditional sense & always  swinging. Even the pop oriented  4 LP vinyl series.

I'm not familiar with those.  Thanks for the heads-up.

Sales figures may prove me wrong, but it was my sense when this album was released that we were at the peak of the jazz comeback.
