Great keyboardsolo starts around 6. minutes



"International Munich based Krautrock fusion supergroup fronted by Klaus Weiss. They made a dreamy, yet powerful fusion with an abundance of solos, extensively featuring Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine on the debut. "

Hum Dono was(finally) reissued on cd last year.Worth checking out, imo.

[hippypants]

Ok, thanks Walt.

I just got Chick Corea Trio - Trilogy in the mail yesterday. It's a live 3 disc set for under $20. Brian Blade on drums and Christian McBride on bass; they all sound great together! Very clean and crisp recording too.

I recently discovered pianist, Austin Peralta on a YT video, playing in one of Virgil Donati's bands. He was only 22 when he passed away. This must've been his last album. A very nice modern jazz album. R.I.P. Austin.

[wideopenears]

That Austin Peralta thing is cool....gonna check some more of that out!

[proggosaurus]

not sure if this has been posted. couldn't find it in a search. does anyone have this album? what I've heard on YT sounds pretty darn good.

MSM Schmidt - Qin Shi-The Face on the Wall (Utopia/2015)

^^^The Austin Peralta is excellent!!!!Thanks for posting it, Ernie.


Fred Katz was an old Lefty from Brooklyn who played cello in drummer Chico Hamilton's chamber jazz group of the late 50's.This album,"Fred Katz-Folk Songs For Far Out Folk", was recorded in Hollywood in 1958.This cd looked interesting so I took the plunge and i'm glad I did.Hip music, with amazing arrangements and charts,all conceived by Katz, who doesn't play on the sessions.FYI, the pianist on this and several tracks is 'Johnny T Williams,' better known to the world later as composer/conducter John Williams.Guitarist is Billy Bean,vibes player is Gene Estes.

Glad you guys liked it; I thought it was rather good myself! Shame about that kid though; if he was that developed at such a young age, he probably would've become a real force to be reckoned with.

[hippypants]

Vocalion--yeah, that's nice. I like that mingling of jazz and ethno or world beat. Reminds me a bit of something like the later Embryo stuff, Shakti, Oregon and this one:

^^Yes, I saw something about that Ahmed album the other day. Thanks for posting.

Ric Colbeck-The Sun Is Coming Up,a 1970 Fontana session is being released for the first time(afaik) in Japan.Colbeck was a trumpet player who blew with Noah Howard and a few other notables on the NY new jazz scene.This album was always mentioned as one of the free jazz holy grails,one that people wished would see the light of day on cd.
Colbeck on trumpet,Mike Osborne on alto sax,J.F.Jenny-Clark-double bass,Selwyn Lissack-drums.

A link to the order page is attached.My pre order is in.

I really liked that, Walt; thanks! Never heard of that guitar player, "Billy Bean" before; he was (is?) good! I couldn't tell from the head that it was going to be a (jazz) blues, but that was far from the first time that's happened. "Blue Rondo ala Turk," anyone?!

[No Pride]

Guitarist is Billy Bean

Apparently this guy passed away less than 4 years ago, though he retired decades prior to that. To me, he sounds as good as several much more well known jazz guitar players from his time.

Saw this on NPR, apparently jazz festivals are the hip thing among the millennials in South Korea.

This 12 year old kid is ridiculously talented! Just in case you doubt that some people are born with a gift:

[TCC]

N.W.

Stanley Jordan Trio - The Paris Concert ****

So many years without hearing his music ... never is too late I think and tonight´s the night!.
This is a great performance: the guitar as extension of the piano or vice versa

[TCC]

Great!
First time here, tankx!

[Sonia_Mota]

David Bowie - South Horizon. Here, it is a bit like Bill Bruford would say/describe, Squeaky Bam Jazz not bad if it were not those annoying 80's bass/auto drum kinda sound tunes.
