I have no idea. My cdr came from a friend too.

 

I'm a huge fan of Hank Jones but that doesn't make your comment untrue. I can't explain why I don't post him more than I do but I went through a serious vertical integration of Hank Jones back in the late 80s/early90s and bought truck loads of his music. Japan loves him and I've been eyeing several Japan only albums at CDJapan but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I almost got to see him a couple of times including having tickets in hand and showed up at the box office to find out that Hank had to cancel due to Elvin's funeral. What could you say about that? Kenny Barron stepped in but I declined after a little thought. We got our refund and went to dinner and went home after that I think. I was so disappointed that even though Kenny is a fine pianist that I like a lot but I have seen him multiple times and the shock of not seeing Hank was too much to bare. So,eti,es I regret not staying for the music but that was my last chance to see him.

 

Anders Jormin – In Winds, In Light (ECM Records)
— With Anders Jormin (double bass); Lena Willemark (vocals); Marilyn Crispell (piano); Karin Nelson (organ); Raymond Strid (percussion)

 

What others of his releases are worth chasing?

 

Based on the players feature in this album, I would buy it without hesitation. Just wondering what kind of style they play?

 

An excellent Trio album from 1960...


Eastern Exposure - Fred Kaz (Atlantic)

 

Pretty difficult to label this one. Henry Kaiser also makes an appearance on guitar. SQ is excellent. AMG says it best.

From the new box set.

 

(CD Asylum Records 7559-60612-2) - beloved album, highlighted inter alias by "Step Right Up" feat Lew Tabackin (ts) Jim Hughart (b) and Shelly Manne (dr)....just making me feel good (again).....

 

Oh how I've tried to like Tom Waitts over the decades. Just has never happened. That's cool.

Right now the SHM-CD

 

Thanks for the link. Based on what this tune sounds, it's easier to listen to than I expected. It's available in Amazon.jp, guess I will buy it soon.

 

Live at Birdland was my first Trane album and I was sort of ready for it. I didn't get all of it but there was enough for me to hold on to and repeated listening allowed the music to get inside of me and I eventually figured it out. I had to go back to Prestige to do it.

NP Bobby Timmons - Holiday Soul (Prestige) dark blue stereo pressing.
Butch Warren - b
Walter Perkins - d

I only have a few Christmas records but this may be my favorite. They improvise so much on the the themes that it is easy to forget you're listening to Christmas music sometimes.

 

Hotter than ever....



Lou Takes Off - Lou Donaldson (Blue Note)

 

Bobby Timmons – Sweet and Soulful Sounds (Riverside Records / OJC)

The Mobe and Lee Morgan together is like peanut butter and jelly. So dang good.

Sort of quasi fusion, I guess, from the Hampton Grease Band guy.
