A few days ago, John Tapscott posted a highly positive comment about a  new Jacob Chung  album. I was not aware of Chung and so just checked out his earlier session below.

After indicating that, in my view, Bernard Peiffer's recordings lack swing, I am happy to report that the Jacob Chung album "Epistle" will swing you into next week. I really like this one.

An early trio recording by the man who would become Peter Nero shortly thereafter.

“Bernie Nerow Trio” Mode/Muzak Records Japan lp facsimile cd.

Like all these Muzak reissues the remastered sound is wonderful.

 

The strange thing is I think Peter Nero must have been very popular in U.S.A., but maybe not well known in Europe, but a school friend of mine had one of his records, since his uncle was a bar pianist. They had a lot of Erroll Garner and one LP of Peter Nero.

Here two albums I listened to yesterday: 

1) The Album with Contrane is much more reprezentativ than the one "Monk with Coltrane" that was done in the studio. 

Here both really spread out. I like Trane´s solos on "In comes Bud", "I Mean You" and "Epistrophy" most, and Monk plays some of his nicest solos and plays beautiful chords, that really make another sound than most pianists chords. Monk´s are so rich and he can make so great and beautiful sounds.

 

2) No that´s also a marvelous album full of beauty. McLean has such a beautiful sound on all stuff he played, may it be more daring originals, or like here really old tunes. 

The only jazz standard here seems to be "Stable Mates" and besides the version Coltrane plays, this is my favourite of it. And that tune "Let´s face the music and dance" that really sounds great. It´s a harmonically and melodically really interesting tune !

Seeing this made me realise I'd not heard about Gjerstad for a while, he used to be a regular visitor to the UK. 

Just checked his Bandcamp and he's still releasing which is good to see. Time to catch up on some recent releases

Bill Evans “Momentum” Limetree 2 cd set, disc 1

Bill Evans, Eddie Gomez, and Marty Morell in Groningen, Netherlands, in 1972

Japan is reissuing this in December as two separate cds, and I was wondering if I should order the Japanese release. . . don’t think I need to, this sounds just fine. Nice playing–I’ve always liked this trio.
