Enrico Pieranunzi - FelliniJazz (Cam)
with Kenny Wheeler, Chris Potter, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian

That looks like an interesting release.  I'll have to do some searching around for that one.

From time to time I simply need re-listening to this words defying platter ....

Does anyone have an idea why this tribute is relatively brass heavy (2 trumpets, 2 trombones) and reed light (alto & baritone)?
Seems strange to me, as Ellington's reed section was always a highlight - at least for my listening.

I hadn't listened to this in many years and was thinking of selling it, which would have been a big mistake!  The Trance is a captivating piece; almost puts you into a trance.  Parts of it sound very mid Eastern, at least to me.

Never dump a Booker Ervin record, you'll always want it back eventually.

This is definitely an influence - the major reason for this is Reggie Workman (replacing here regular Richard Davis) who sounds like playing an enlarged Oud ....

The Two Sides of Hampton Hawes (JAS, 2 LPs)
LP 1 - originally released as High in the Sky (Vault); trio with Leroy Vinnegar & Donald Bailey

5 stars.

I love this one, too - so atmospheric.

My listening pile today:

Rowles has such a unique way of approaching familiar tunes in surprising ways - "Stars and Stripes Forever" here is hilarious!

More of a Jazzland All Stars disc ,,,

Is it just me, or is Billy Higgins rather low in the mix?
