Bill Charlap: All Through The Night

 

While frogging around here a minute ago, I ran across this bit of info in another thread about a topic that might be of interest to some folks here, a coming book about the history of FMP:

Bill Charlap: Distant Star

 

Graham Collier Sextet. Down another road.
Another brilliant album by GC.

Isn't this track, just outstanding jazz.

 

I have now moved on to The Alan Skidmore Quintet. Once Upon a Time. This is beautiful jazz that may not be too well known outside(or inside) the UK.
Fans of this type of jazz should also check out Nat Birchall. We are talking very special music here of a quality that is rarely heard. Its so good.

 

Bill Charlap Trio: Always

 

Swinging into Wednesday. So glad I can be in front of the stereo!

Count Basie Big Band "Farmers Market Barbecue" OJC Pablo cd

 

You do know it's Wednesday, right?

I'm spinning Kenny Dorham LP from last year's RSD and drinking Peet's coffee while trying to warm up out here. Another brutal weather week.

 

Yes, I do. But I erred because it's Monday for me, sure feels like it. . .my wife had a four day weekend and I haven't been at the stereo much at all, I always get to return to it on Monday morning after a weekend. Thanks for the correction.

 

70s Piros stereo pressing of Ole’ Coltrane. Only one bass can survive!

 

SFJazz Collective "Music of Miles Davis and Original Compositions" disc 2

 

Bill Charlap Trio: I'm Old Fashioned

 

Someone posted this at Organissimo, the Bill Evans Dancer. The dance was choreographed by Bill.

 

I've encountered this collaboration before. Note that the choreographer is named Bill Evans, but not the pianist Bill Evans. The pianist did collaborate with the choreographer, but did not to my knowledge do the choreography.

 

Did Yusef Lateef ever meet Bill Evans?

Gene Ammons – Early Visions (1975, Vinyl)
Maybe it's my ears but I swear that suddenly on Stuffy I'm hearing the tenor pan from left to right, on a 1948 recording; the LP does claim to be stereo, but I'm guessing that it didn't sound like that in '48. I didn't notice any such events on side A...

I was already thinking that maybe it was time for some Tom Archia after this, and guess whose clip with Ammons is attached on the Ammons page for this release at Discogs...

Gene Ammons - Early Visions

 

I'd guess that it first happened in a mirror...

 

Bill Charlap Trio: Notes From New York

 

Probably.

 

Now disc 1

 

If I am not wrong, Skidmore also played with Alexis Korner, John Mayall, the golden age of the British Blues.

 

2005 Thirsty Ear
Eri Yamamoto - piano, Michael Thompson - drums

 

A VERY wide range of folks; Sandy Denny too - and Soft Machine as well.

Ryo Kawasaki - Juice

 

Bill Charlap Trio: The Things We Did Last Summer

 

NP Jimmy Giuffrw - Western Suite (Atlantic) red/green ‘Full Spectrum Stereo”
My first Giuffre album many years ago. Instantly hooked.
