A perfect mix of a couple of reinterpretations of standards and more abstract compositions. Plus I love Jaki Byard! 5 hours ago, soulpope said: Most likely the best Herbie Nichols tribute album ever .... btw Arjen Gorter (!!) .... Well, Frank Kimbrough’s Herbie Nichols Project was something! 58 minutes ago, soulpope said: Good one from the heydays of SteepleChase .... Only minor downside of some Steeplechases from the 70s is the recording of the drums, too rockish for these ears. That happens in some Tete Montoliu Trio discs, mainly with Tootie Heath sittin’ in.

No disrespect to Frank Kimbrough and his Herbie Nichols Project (which I appreciate a lot), but proven Monk/Nichols experts like Steve Lacy, Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink simply nail it here .....

Gheorghe Posted Sunday at 07:51 AM Report Posted Sunday at 07:51 AM Two different albums. I had spinned "Bird Fire" last week. Brings a lotta memories back. I saw Archie Shepp in 1979 (when this album was recorded) in Viena at Congres-Haus. Same personnel: With the stellar ryhthm section Siegfried Kessler, Bob Cunningham and Clifford Jarvis. This here is some super bebop at its best. Four tunes, each one sheer beauty, power and perfection. I like especially "Parker´s Mood" which I seldon had heard being played with so much emotion. One of my favourite post Free Jazz albums of Shepp. There would have been another called "Lookin at Bird" but since that album was only Shepp with NHOP it was out of the deal for me, since I can´t enjoy without drums and just don´t like NHOP´ playing so much when it is solo time..... Yesterday I heard Mobley´s Workout. Especially for "The Best things in Life are Free" since I had heard Austrian Tenor-Star Ray Aichinger do it very fine on Wendesday. The album is very nice, great team with Green, Kelly, Paul, Philly J.J., but if I had to pick out just one of the straight ahead tunes it would be "Uh Huh", that´s music for late hours when I actually listen music. In rest it might be a bit too much straight ahead, there´s no Bossa or Samba, no Ballad, just playn 4/4 tunes..... Quote
jazzbo Posted Sunday at 11:09 AM Report Posted Sunday at 11:09 AM (edited) The Joymakers "Down Where the Bluebonnets Grow" cd Wow. These Texans nail the authentic acoustic recording era jazz music feel and swing and play so very well. The engineering too brings an authentic full-bodied sound with no deficiency. I met multi-instrumentalist Colin Hancock who I think is the heart and soul of this band if not the leader. . . an amazing musician. Wow.
