Yeah, a grace note, he does it super quick, kind of gives it a little effect of expanding the note and gives it a little dissonance, might be hard to do on guitar but I use to hear it in Scofield's playing. Not familiar with Bernisein but love Mehldau, will check this out. thanks!
This talk of Monk and Mehldau got me in a YouTube mood. The sound isn't great on this one but this a nice live Mehldau version of Monk's Dream.

Have you guys ever heard Sonny Greenwich? (His name didn't come up in the search engine in this thread.) You will see at 2:19 in this first clip another Canadian guitar legend, Ed Bickert, sitting in the audience. Well I think it's him! The second clip is Greenwich in his more coltranian phase. What do you think? I think he's special...

That's on my wants list - I have his more recent quartet album The Story This Time which I like a lot.
Mathias Eick's "Midwest" has grown on me the last 1 ½ years, but still "Skala" is still my favourite closely followed by "The Door".
I have A Calculus of Loss and Three Less Than Between and like them a lot. I'll have to check out The Story This Time. I pretty much like anything with bass clarinet. The post of a Clean Feed album reminded me that I meant to ask if anyone knows if there's a good jazz scene in Portugal since I'm going there next week. I know most of the artists on Clean Feed aren't Portuguese but I'd think having the label there might mean they have some nice clubs.

Just found this lack of a spine meant it got buried. Don't even remember buying it, perfect surface well recorded still sealed. Albert Ayler Iive in Greenwich village.
