Peter Evans - Zebulon (2013) Peter Evans - trumpet John Hébert - bass Kassa Overall - drums Love the vintage swing feel. Rhythm section is exceptionally tight and there's a lot of bop rooted soloing. I can see a lot of old school cats taking an especial liking to this.
One of my favorite films of the Seventies. I own the DVD. Great Art Carney. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071598/
Yes quite good (musically) but not a top recording (a bit muddy sound IMO). There are better Getz recordings in my collection.
Makes me wonder whom the artist is... Perhaps it was a man trying out 'the propaganda of projection,' in hopes that it might influence more women to 'take up the hobby,' and 'take some heat off of men like the artist.' No offense intended to any of the women in the room, and yes, I have known women who collected records, but have to admit (and maybe it's geographic) that the ratios are a little un-balanced.

Listening to some Miles this morning. Got a call from my brother a few hours ago, telling me our mom passed in the hospital during the night . We weren't that surprised as she was very weak and she's at peace now. Ninety three plus years on the planet was a pretty good ride. We should all be so lucky. Worse thing was I could not go visit since I tested positive a couple days ago but I know that has been the case for many, many people of the last few years.

Sorry Mike. My best to you and yours. This is a tough time without extra layers. Get rest and continue to get well.
Been doing fine adjusting of a new subwoofer -- my old Velodyne driver died just as COVID-19 was breaking out. I tried to repair the cone. A pro tried to repair the cone. No dice either way. -- and last night turned to one of my all time favorite records, Dave Holland's second solo bass album, One's All. I love it for testing how well the bass is integrated up and down the bass range because he works the whole instrument so if there are frequencies that are boomy and others that are getting sucked into a null, it really jumps out. But after a smidge of tweaking I was able to just sit back and once again marvel at the beauty of the album -- a guy who is a total master of the instrument working through some classic tunes and his own great compositions and others. Bass might not be an instrument closely associated with solo performance, but Holland presents with music with total mastery of the whole presentation -- solo arrangements, driving rhythms, expansive melodic variations. He plays rhythm pieces, he plays ballads like "Good Bye Pork Pie Hat." I love Dave Holland as a bass player in particular. And I love solo albums by great musicians general. This one is a top-of-the-list fave of mine on both scores.
I love the Getz Bossa Nova phase but many have pointed out he could have done just fine without by pursuing this (live @ VV) direction. Thanks for the Lights Out recommendation, seems like yes I really do need yet another Jackie record
I don't think I'd heard any Peter Evans music before. Sampling this this morning thanks to your post and really enjoying it (though I'm about 25 minutes into the set of long pieces and I'm not really hearing the bop portion of the evening's program). Flagging it on Qobuz for deeper listening.
