I don't think that's Ben Sidran. I think that's Kevin Spacey.

The SHM-CD. Such a great album, KD and Joe are great together and McCoy, Butch and Pete are a great rhythm section. 

Very in your face sound with this reissue.

[duaneiac]

This is a fine example of the sort of lovely, technically flawless yet glossy and gutless singing which makes so many people disdainful of jazz singers.

McCoy later, and very different.

Auditioning a new set of  interconnects with this LP.

This LP is great for revealing subtle audio bits.

Thought I'd give this a listen on Spotify and I must say, I like it. I'm partial to Sue's voice too.

Continuing with LPs. This one sounds great. . . I haven't listened to this release in either cd or LP form in a while.

RANDY WESTON AFRICAN RHYTHMS: SAGA. GITANES JAZZ / VERVE 529 237-2 [1995]

[mikeweil]

I just love this album. Richard Davis is a monster bass player here, Ashby responds with some very inspired harping, Grady Tate is his usual reliable, creative self - what more can you ask for?

[jazzbo]

Listening to Side 2 and then Side 4 so I get both bands.
