Down-home pickin' Delta blues: Babe Stovall's Pied Piper of New Orleans

I've loved this since first hearing it in high school:

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Music to pour dry martinis to in your early 60s era bachelor pad.

Is there another Blue Note album with a chekere player listed on the cover?

edit: looks like Garvin Masseaux was also on some Grant Green albums

A remarkable debut album by the Japanese trombonist in the best traditions of modern jazz.

Steve Lehman, a student and collaborator of Anthony Braxton, pays tribute to his mentor on The Music of Anthony Braxton, but in his own way—playing complex, energetic music with his trio and tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, blending Braxton's legacy, his own new compositions, and a final nod to Monk.

Welcome! I was just listening to Chet Baker last night, the 1940s Disques Vogue quartets with Gerry Mulligan and Chico Hamilton.

Great recording.

I love the sound of the xylophone. I compare with Nietzsche's sound which is cold compared to the xylophone. Xylophone is still hard but with the soft touch. 😋

Pelt plays trumpet btw.

Decided impulsively to join again. Will stay for a while.

Listened to the first half, tomorrow the other half.

So amazing. The drive and motivation to make music together is so strong. The result is staggering.

I like bebop. The first album has a great version of Fats Navarro's Nostalgia, ergo I had to spin the second.

I haven't heard either of these records but the lineups have me super interested.

Alfred James Ellis: "Chicken" (Quatuor Ébène, from their album Milestones). Okay, this is really something. Having heard this quartet in pretty serious classical rep, it is a revelation to hear them in jazz.

Thanks!
I'm having fun listening to some of the selections, concentrating on standards I'm most familiar with.

The only misfire so far is "Fables of Faubus", which seems to lack the sarcastic/mocking elements of the Mingus original. Almost as if the ensemble doesn't know exactly who the tune is based on.

Favorite so far (OTOH) is "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat".

Also enjoying listening for "jazzy" solos as opposed to written arrangements. So far the short "Milestones" seems to have the nicest solo(s?).
