I like it too, though I could have done without Mehldau. A friend of mine has a Japanese CD of Konitz and Haden playing solo from the same club dates.

I like it too, it and its partner. Like 'em a lot, actually. Mehldau often sounds like he's squirming on the piano bench because he jas to go pee, but so does Joanne Brackeen, and that's somebody else I don't let ruin my day!

Anat Cohen Tentet: Happy Song

[HutchFan]

[jazzbo]

Playing around with the newly-arrived Decware ZROCK2 and the long-standing and -serving Decaware Torii Mk III today has been fun. I've listened to:

Antonio Carlos Jobim "Passarim" SHM-CD

The fantastic sounding new cd from Solid Records of the Duke Ellington release "My People" (this is a favorite recording of mine, I have mono and stereo LPs and two other cd releases, this one smokes them all).

Thelonious Monk "Live in Rotterdam 1967: the Lost Recordings" CD edition

[rostasi]

More than likely, these are her last concerts.
The Beethoven “Choral Fantasy” is especially nice.

[Peter Friedman]

This 2 CD set includes 3 complete Muse albums plus 2 additional tunes.

with Charles McPherson, David Schnitter, Richie Cole, Barry Harris, Roland Hanna, Sam Jones, George Duvivier, Buster Williams, Roy Brooks, Leroy Williams, Eddie Gladden

Clarke Boland Big Band "All Smiles" MPS lp facsimile reissue from this summer. Sounds glorious.

[bluemonkey]

Adrian Iaies Trio: Las Tardecitas De Minton's
Discs 1 & 2 of 2

[Larry Kart]

Fine charts, mostly from Puente (his "Con Alma" is especially nice, perfect tempo), vivid sound, and even someone who's normally less than enthusiastic about Phil Woods (that would be me) would have to admit that he's in very good form on his three tracks here.

Jackie McLean, "Consequence" Blue Note Connoisseur.

Enjoying Harold Maeburn's work here. He played with a different style in some ways than his pianist stablemates. Lee and Jackie are having fun.

Rosa Passos, "Rosa" . . . candy for the ears.
