Strictly Jazz Sounds (Part 2)

The interplay and humor on The Thirty-nine Steps stands out. Could all four be Hitchcock fans?

Interesting! I’ve never read the book or watched the movie…pretty good tune though….

Ken’s a cineaste, and from the song titles I just got the notion.


Nice to have the convenience to stream these. The sound is solid as well.

Billy Eckstine ā€œOnce More with Feelingā€ Roulette Records cd

Not my favorite Billy (I’m not that big a fan of Billy May. . . ) but the system is sounding so good, and with talk of Billy on another forum I wanted to hear that baritone.

My 1972 LP reissue of the Modern Jazz Quartet’s classic cover of Ornette Coleman’s Lonely Woman.

Miles Davis ā€œKind of Blueā€ PureFlection 32-bit UltraHD cd.


Following up with Modern Jazz Quartet Last Concert. As they say they go out on a strong note with Last Concert.

Vijay Iyer Sextet ā€œFar From Overā€ ECM cd

I just opened this forum, look what I was listening to! Synergy perhaps…


Absolutely astonishing. I’ve heard saxophonist Mette Rasmussen on a couple of albums recently, she is a monster.

Mette Rasmussen - saxophones
Zeena Parkins - electric harp
Ryan Sawyer percussion

You sir have exquisite taste in music!


As this particular album pops up from time to time I thought it’s about time I return to my LP version.

Yes indeed, a Nordic Monster! The emerging players need our support, Mette being a perfect example.

Lambert, Hendricks & Ross ā€œSing a Song of Basieā€ ABC Paramount/Verve cd

Quite an innovative album in 1958 and still great fun.

Flora Purim ā€œIf You Willā€
