So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

You might well have loved them live. I think I saw them 6 times, the first in 1974 when they were touring behind Mysterious Traveler, the last in 1984. It was always an adventure, the good kind. Even when the Jaco antics got weird, Wayne would project his royal Wayne-ness into the mix and that was that.

Adventure - not just elation, but adventure - at a jazz gig. Those were the days!

I did see Jaco as a leader live once in Austin  (1982 I think), and Joe Zawinul at the Caravan of Dreams a few years later--the latter was especially good, so yes I missed out on something I probably would have loved.

From last weekend's concert I attended, Dejohnette Coltrane Garrison, Matt Garrison sounds adventurous to me.

Hmmm.  What's "The Nandnow"?   I'm curious what you thought of this one, Bill.  I like Benny Green's playing ever since I first saw him in Joshua Redman's and Ray Brown's bands.  I have a few of his CDs, but I admit it has been years since I've checked out any of his new releases.  So much music, so little time.

Evan Parker - Process and Reality (FMP)

Green is always a sound in-the-tradition pianist (and there are precious few left!) This album is partly a showcase for youthful bop (is that a contradiction in terms?) vocalist Veronica Swift, whose singing is acceptable.
