Andi Steirer "Trance of Noiz" : This is a first class album of Austria´s greatest percussionist Andi Steirer. I am very proud that I got him for my own album "Waltz for Serena". Though he is very very much in demand, I´ll have him also in future on some of our gigs, most possible the larger ones. 
He is so fantastic and this album is so great. It has also some of Andi´s own compositions like "Hongkong Tavern" "Do Da Doo" as well as stuff with great guitarist Rens Newland , co-compositions between them both, like the title tune "Trance of Noiz". The album also features the wonderful saxophinist Thomas Kugi on soprano and tenor.

Starting off with

Followed by

Chet Baker & Jack Sheldon “In Perfect Harmony: The Lost Album” Jazz Detective cd

This is a short but sweet fun album. Joe Moondragon’s electric bass is a highlight.

I’ve been wanting to revisit this newest from Joel Ross, one of my favorites of the new cats, but it got lost in a few stacks of new arrivals. Found it!

Great disc.

Theo Hill “Reality Check” Posi-Tone cd

Theo Hill - piano; Rhodes; synthesizer
Joel Ross - vibraphone
Rashaan Carter - bass; electric bass
Mark Whitfield Jr. - drums

This one has grown on me. I like it more now than I did when I bought it a few years ago. Joel Ross was the attraction, and he contributes strongly.
