Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 2 Report Posted October 2 Eddie Higgins - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (Venus). Higgins in a quartet with Scott Hamilton. Beautiful playing all around. Quote

I found the LP years ago without ever having heard it, and bought it just for that track. I couldn't even imagine how the quintet would play it. Turns out it's a killer version! Quote

Fred Beckett was a great trombonist! I'm listening to a classic from the golden age of Columbia Legacy reissues Quote

Then everything works for me. Quote

Then everything works for me. I like most of the MGM-era stuff, but from Capitol on, my favorite Shearing albums (and individual tracks) have Latin percussion. I like his solo piano albums, too, though I don't spin them often. Quote

Gheorghe Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 2 hours ago, soulpope said: 👌👍 .... Strange, so much as I liked "Back to the Track", I didn´t find much stuff for me on the "Waitin´ game". Somehow like I don´t like the before unissued album they made with Freddie Redd. I love his compositions, his playing and his choice of musicians so much and was so disappointed by I think it´s titled "Redd´s Blues", with an obscure drummer, who doesn´t fit in, and the ensemble playing and the horn solos are also a mess.....

jazzbo Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 (edited) Fiona the dachshund has decided that this is the first COLD morning. Feels welcome to me! Starting off with Tina Brooks "Minor Move" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD. I wish they had used the original Japanese cover. But this sure sounds better than the last release!
