Rabshakeh Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 Henry Mancini – Combo! I'm not about to suddenly become a lounge guy but this is really a very good, creative record, with all the usual West Coast guys hamming it up, and only a few swinging funky bach harpsichord jams. I am surprised that it doesn't get mentioned more alongside the likes of Quincy Jones. Perhaps it is too jazzy for the easy listening fans but too easy listening for the jazz fans. Quote
jazzbo Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 Hoping my dog will settle down this morning. Maybe Ella will help! Ella Fitzgerald (with the Tommy Flanagan Trio) “Montreux '77” OJC cd Quote
jazzbo Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 Okay, she finally settled down. I’m enjoying the cool morning while it lasts. Should stay fairly cool, mid-seventies, today. . . but plenty of rain expected. Shifting to Big Blue, Bob Dylan, “The Cutting Edge” disc 5. “I’m in the kitchen with the tombstone blues.” Love take 1.

jazzbo Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 Right now, something different. . . .the first spin of the 2023 Blu-Spec CD2 Miles Davis “Agharta,” disc 1 The system is astonishingly good lately and this disc sounds wonderful. Quote

TTK recommended this to me a while ago. It's really good. Sometimes the jazz police simply should shut up. Quote

JSngry Posted July 30 Author Report Posted July 30 Lloyd is a little overly fluttery, but Cedar Walton is in there all the way. With Buster Williams and Billy Higgins also being in there, Lloyd don't get in the way none, not at all! Quote
