Reminded via another forum`s Enja Records thread .... a moving trbute to the late Ed Blackwell .... btw both solo and accompanying work of Mark Helias is simply superb .... 

This must be great, I am a big fan of Ed Blackwell. Under his own leadership I only heard the stuff that is on Strata East which I like much more than the thing led by Wilbur Ware. I can listen for hours to good drumming.....

I find that Hip Bop manages to capture and reproduce certain characteristics of the classic Blue Note sound and production.

If I only would have noticed the name of that guy from the states, whom I heard once. 
I led a jam session at Zwe in Viena and a very very heavy guy came down into the club, having an alto with him. He was so heavy that Mingus or Fats Navarro would have been lightweight compared to him.
I saw him with the alto and from the piano I waved him on stage and believe it or not.......: It was like if Jackie McLean would have been again among us. THAT ALTO SOUND, it was like if it was him, well there was also a bit of Dolphy and sure a lot of that unknown guy himself in it, but it was INCREDIBLE how great it was. I talked a litte to him later, but he was only "a tourist" as he stated and I never saw him again...... I would have liked to play with him very very very much.

Ricky Ford “Tenor Madness Too!” Muse cd

This one keeps revealing bits and pieces to me, in part because the muddiness of the sound causes me to seek out little details and in part because there’s a looseness to the performance that draws me in different directions.

A quick search would have found the answer on either wiki or discogs.

March 4, 1989

Red Norvo “Rock it for Me” HEP cd

 

 

Mildred Bailey is really great on these sides with Red. I keep being reminded of Billie Holiday when I hear Mildred, they both were pioneers of the microphone, allowing a more intimate, involving presentation.

So what did you think? I saw Kris Davis live for the first time a few weeks ago and was very impressed.

It is a solid recording.  I saw the Borderlands Trio live several years ago.  They approach the piano, bass, drums configuration with a peculiar (in a good way) perspective.
