Makaya & The Tsotsis

Great record!!!

[Chuck Nessa]

I think this session has been given lower ratings than deserved. It is one of my favorites.

[Larry Kart]

Likewise, I was surprised that on a recent list here of latter-day Ellington recordings, many of which were singled out  as being of special merit, this one was not. It's superb:

I agree. Not my favorite Ellington, but still a favorite.

Joe Morris Trio: Symbolic Gesture (Soul Note)

Django in Rome - CD D

Sometimes when I listen to Django's recordings, I find myself doing a subconscious Dean Benedetti/Bird thing - just listening to Django and tuning out the other musicians.

@Hutchfan about Kühn Trio Love & Peace

Not my cup of tea. But I´m not into piano trio format either.
Just  curious about latest works of our  pioneers like Kühn brothers, Heinz Sauer, Manfred Schoof, Hampel etc.

To Joachim: I like Kühn without sidemen. Once caught him  at a solo concert. Fascinating improvising, Bach lurkin through the keys....

A good one that's slipped through the cracks, to some extent.
