So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Bobby Hutcherson - Head On (Blue Note)
An atypical Hutch record because all of the pieces (except for one CD bonus track) were written by Todd "Bayeté" Cochran.

Terrific ......... the news that there will be a third volume with unissued material from the Columbia vaults almost kills me.

White enough to get in trouble during the LA riots until he was recognized.   (And of course yo might well asl "which LA riots" there's been so many.

Kenny Barron Trio - Lemuria-Seascape (Candid)
One of my favorite Kenny Barron records. It's like home cooking; it may be familiar but it always tastes good.

! They were a quartet with Stan Getz!

Yes, skin-wise he was white. Culturally, though, he decided to "live as black" pretty early on and did so until his death. I'd use the word "psychologically" but that implies that there's a race-specific/genetic psychology, and of course there's not. But there is definitely an experiential mindset that comes from living black in America. Otis not only realized that, he embraced it fully. Fully.

His books are required reading, imo.

Also one of my favourites. On my CD´s is a short piano solo piece that´s untitled and in the liner notes it´s stated that nobody could find a title to that little piece.

I´m not sure, it sounds like if you might know it, but that can be Monk´s style, the way he approaches ballads.

But I´m not sure, could it be a little theme from "In the Stage Door Canteen" ?

That group was fantastic, I think the stuff was on a label "Affinity" .  "Impressions fascinated me most of all.
