It's been hot in Tokyo lately, so I've been listening to a lot of albums with wild tenors (not Stan Getz style) playing bossa nova, samba and calypso.

Great Cover Photography .... btw Steve Ellington (!) ....

I have only the Dimensions-Inventions, which was among my first jazz albums back then, but I never heard him play standards.

This month when I turn on my stereo in the morning it’s an exciting first few minutes as the sound struts out. The system has never sounded better! Music is a thrilling component of the day.

Right now
“Duke Ellington in the Uncommon Market” OJC cd

 

 

Not your typical Ellington concert (actually excerpts of three concerts, one in Sweden, one in Italy, and one in France) of rarely played material. Waking my brain up!

Fascinating box set for those who have been fascinated by Ziggy and the Spiders.

Well, not only that, but Laswell insists on milking his live recordings no matter what the quality - which, as you might've guessed - is not all that good.
Like usual, just click and listen for yourself.

I checked the track Meet Your Maker this morning. I dig Bill's sound and this one wasn't so bad...kind of sounds like Jane's Addiction playing 70's Miles. I'll have to listen to the rest at some point.

I absolutely love both of the Mars Williams albums on Corbett vs Dempsey. Excellent playing and fun to listen to. 

After this, quite a change in pace and style:

Vol. 1...Going to George Coleman from Mars Williams was actually a little jarring. This sounded like easy listening jazz at first, but it gets better as it settles in. Walton, Sam Jones and Higgins actually make a great trio 🤔

Vol 2 with Bob Berg on tenor who I'm enjoying more than Coleman at the moment. 

Bob Berg enjoyed some of his finest hours with this band ....

Picked up this Verve Elite used at my local record store yesterday. Turns out today is Mr. Smith’s birthday!

Robert Parker/Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo “Duke Ellington – Swing 1930 To 1938” cd

I found where I had placed about 18 of these “Digital Stereo” re-workings of classic earlier jazz and chose this one to listen to today. They are fun, some better to listen to than others, but the track choices are interesting.
