    I remember reading once that Monk was extremely displeased with this photo as a cover, even though he participated in the photo shoot. I believe he objected to the militaristic overtones. To Monk, his music was serious, and he did not like the visual representation of his music as a joke.

    You cannot believe everything that you read, but that story rang true to me.

    Every time that Bud Powell played "I Remember Clifford" was deeply profound.

    Of course, this was because Bud's younger brother died in the seat next to Clifford.

    There are not many photos of Richie Powell

    Disc 6. In my opinion, this is the strongest performance so far (or, at the least, my favorite), with Neophilia, Nommo, Peyote and Absolutions. They were the third and fourth sets on Saturday, July 10, 1970 and Nommo, which was the first time it was played here, is an absolute stunner; Harold Mabern’s work on Nommo makes the song. Nommo was played just one more time, on the concluding day of the gig, and I’m looking forward to hearing that.

    I hope that this concert, sooner or later, will be released officially as a future volume of the Bootleg Series or as The Complete Live In Tokyo. ;)

    Just finished my sixth open mic as a solo guitar/singer in as many weeks. I’ve become very focused in my performance. I get three songs so I pay attention to my “set” in terms of impact so it’s been a learning experience. It’s not jazz but that’s ok. I’m having a great time which is all that matters to me.

    More McKusick. A quartet this time: Hal McKusick (as), Barry Galbraith (g), Milt Hinton (b), Osie Johnson (d). 6 of the 10 tunes were arranged by George Russell, elevating this above a routine blowing session.

    NP: Michael Formanek Elusion Quartet - Time Like This (CD, Intakt, 2018)

    Michael Formanek (b), Tony Malaby (ts, ss), Kris Davis (p), Ches Smith (d, vb, Haitian tanbou)

    A subdued and brooding set by four great musicians. Formanek is a masterful arranger who at the same time excels at giving the members of his ensemble space for rather free improvisations. Malaby alternates between carefully embedding soft-voiced saxophone tones in a chamber jazz-like ensemble sound and taking the lead with long, searching lines that call Wadada Leo Smith to mind. Davis' precise and crystalline piano is never showy but continuously engaging. Smith's drumming is subtle, varied, and occasionally replaced by melodious vibraphone playing.

    On a quiet album like this, the moments that the players play a bit more loudly really hit hard, especially when Malady has his occasional slightly wild & skronky moments, such as on 'The Soul Goodbye'. Recommended!

    1994 live performance includes the classics “And When I Die,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “Stoned Soul Picnic,” and more.

    A member of both the Songwriters and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame, Laura Nyro not only wrote songs that became hits for acts including The 5th Dimension, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, Barbra Streisand, and many more, but has been cited as a major influence by Kate Bush, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, Todd Rundgren, Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Wicked), and countless others. She recorded 10 studio albums (one released posthumously), but a live performance from Nyro was always an event.

    Originally issued only in Japan as Live In Japan in 2003, these 16 tracks recorded at Kintetsu Hall, plus 5 recorded at On Air West return as Trees Of The Ages: Laura Nyro Live In Japan. From Nyro-penned hits including “And When I Die,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” and “Save The Country,” to covers of Bacharach/David, Smokey Robinson, and Phil Spector classics, Trees Of The Ages is an essential document of Laura’s February 1994 historic visit to Japan. With Laura on piano and vocals, with harmonies by Diane Wilson, Dian Sorrell, Diane Garisto, the performances are sublime.

    Newly remastered by Grammy®-winner Michael Graves, and produced for release by Grammy®-winner Cheryl Pawelski and George Gilbert with the approval of The Laura Nyro Trust, the packaging contains updated artwork and new liner notes from author and musician John Kruth. Looking and sounding incredible, this essential addition to Nyro’s discography is available worldwide for the first time. Trees Of The Ages: Laura Nyro Live In Japan cements the legend of the incomparable Laura Nyro.

    I got the ones with the metal spines when they came out. Pity they omitted the non-Coltrane tracks from Someday My Prince Will Come.

    I love her madly. I own Ely And The Thirteen Confession; New York Tendaberry on cd reissues; the posthumous live album entitled so evocativelly Spread Your Wings and Fly: Live at the Fillmore East (to me she could fly with that voice) and then Nested on vinyl.
    In Italy she is little known certainly much less than Carole King and Joni Mitchell two excellent singer-songwriters, mostly Joni.
    Her singing is often unconventional and unsettling and runs through different styles or even genres.
    The typical pop fan, at least here in Italy, more used listening to music according well-defined categories, hardly appreciates her.
    I know much little her discography after the Seventies, but here the radio hosts broadcast rarely her recordings.
    If I have to choose her own album, I take New York Tendaberry, though I like much the work of arranger done by Charlie Calello in the previous album.
