(CD Criss Cross Jazz Dutch Press Criss-1007 CD) 2001 .... recorded April 7th, 1983 @ Studio 44 Monster Netherlands .... Warne Marsh (ts) + Lou Levy (p) + Jesper Lundgaard (b) + James Martin (dr) .... late career gem by Warne Marsh uplifted by an excellent rhythm section (Lou Levy !!) .... although he cut a number of great platters this recording stand alone would have been quite an achievement .... highly recommended ....
Portland's dry season usually extends into October, as well, but the rain also has come early for us. We've already hit our average precip for September. Well, on a wet morning like this, what can you do but play some Bill Evans? NP Alone (Again).

I got to see Jacky and Casandra perform this program in San Francisco when it was released. Second row from stage, Casandra in a regal gown. NP Thelonious Monk Quintet - Monk (Riverside) OJC CD
It's a post-fermented tea. Imagine Assam, stored for years in a humid climate, fermenting with molds and micro-organisms. You can buy twenty year old pu-erh from centuries old tea-trees. It's like the chinese version of very expensive wine or scotch. But it hasn't got to be that old and expensive.
Got some vinyls from Japan recently. Here is a compilation of 2 groups MCA - 3042 "Gene Norman Presents 'The Chase' and 'The Steeple Chase' a) The Dexter Gordon - Wardell Gray Group with Conte Candoli / Bobby Tucker / Don Bagley / Chico Hamilton from s "Just Jazz" Concert at the Pasadena Circus Auiditorium, February second, 1952 b) The Tony Scott Quartet with Dick Katz / Percy Heath /Osie Johnson, New York 1953

WP over the weekend: Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers – Mosaic Label: Blue Note – 0946 3 37769 2 0 Series: RVG Edition – Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered Country: US Released: 2006 Bass – Jymie Merritt Drums – Art Blakey Piano – Cedar Walton Tenor Saxophone – Wayne Shorter Trombone – Curtis Fuller Trumpet – Freddie Hubbard Recorded October 2, 1961. All original compositions supplied by Walton, Hubbard, Fuller & Shorter. It's a smoking album. This band was so tight, and really mastered hard bop. It's perfect, really.
After that one, went to: Miles Davis Quintet* – Live In Europe 1967 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 1) Label: Columbia – 88697 94053 2, Legacy – 88697 94053 2 Series: The Bootleg Series (3) – Vol. 1 Format: 3 × CD, Album DVD, DVD-Video, NTSC, Reissue Country: US Released: 20 Sep 2011 Disc 3, recorded November 6, 1967 at the Paris Jazz Festival, Salle Pleyel, Paris, France. Monster playing on all accounts.
Can anyone recommend some recordings of trumpeter Barbara Donald, other than her work w Sonny Simmons? Some wicked chops on her!
I tend to drink my pu-ehr in the cooler/winter months and along with oolong, my favorite teas. A tea specialist had a friend who could test such things evaluate the microbes in a sample of very old pu-ehr (much older than 20 YO) and there were microbes in the tea that were thought to no longer exist! No jazz at the moment. I've been revisiting some early Alejandro Escovedo albums I haven't played in a while.
LONESOME BOULEVARD - GERRY MULLIGAN (Verve ORIGINALS) CD Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax), Bill Charlap (piano), Dean Johnson (bass), Richie De Rosa (drums).

Budd Johnson, All Sears, Bert Keyes, Charlie Shavers, Jo Jones, Joe Benjamin, Ray Bryant – Blues à la Mode (1958)
Sidney Bechet – Mosaic Select Label: Mosaic Records (2) – MS-022 Series: Mosaic Select – 22 Format: Box Set, Compilation, Limited Edition 3 × CD Country: US Released: 2006 NP Disc one from this set. Holy vibrato! Bechet really doesn't play without it. Good, important music but the continual vibrato wears me out a bit.
Tony Williams, Bobby Hutcherson, Gary Peacock, Herbie Hancock, Richard Davis, Ron Carter, Sam Rivers – Life Time (1964)
I find his vibrato very annoying, that's why I never listen to this set or any other Bechet recording.
