So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

John Mayall “Jazz Blues Fusion–Performed and Recorded Live in Boston and New York”

Freddy Robinson, Blue Mitchell, and Clifford Solomon make this a great record. I saw Mayall with Blue Mitchell the next year at the University of Chicago when he was taped for one of those late night concert shows, in a double bill with the Ohio Players. A great night!

I used to listen to this quite often and wondered why this band never toured. With Osby's rep these days, I doubt Lovano would ever consider doing that today.

Hearing this live was one of the most astonishing musical events of my last ten years. I miss Jaimie not making new music

Wow, John Hicks poured himself into this recording, and the engineering on the piano is amazing!

John Hicks "A Billy Strayhorn Songbook: Something to Live For" HighNote cd

 

Followed by

 

A Chet Baker that was released that slipped by me til now.

Chet Baker "Late Night Jazz" Anagram/Elemental Music cd

With the always interesting Philip Catherine on guitar, recorded three months before Chet's passing. As the title suggests langorous and mellow performances.

Yep!    Hicks' late-in-the-game recordings for HighNote are consistently excellent.

Bill Evans "You Must Believe in Spring" Warner Bros. cd

Evans' frist release for Warner Bros. A wonderful album in all ways.

I must hear that band. Is there only Mozaic collections for sale, or any individual CD too ? To have Liebman and Foster, some of my very very earliest favourits (caught them both with Miles) so it´s natural they became my heroes....

@Gheorghe,

Several of the best cuts in the Pendulum Mosaic Select set first appeared on this LP:

The David Liebman Quintet - Pendulum (Artists House, 1979)

However -- aside from the Mosaic set -- I don't think the music has been reissued in CD format.

Interesting. Was this actually a recording of a rehearsal? When are the recordings from? (Discogs is a no say).

[HutchFan]

Now playing:

Chris Potter - Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard (Sunnyside, 2007)
with Craig Taborn, Adam Rogers, and Nate Smith

Oh yeah.

Jazztet: Art Farmer and Benny Golson - Big City Sounds

Hadn't listened to this one before. Much better sound but just as creative as the first record.
