George Benson’s debut album as a leader. I like it!

The second release from saxophonist Alden Hellmuth. She wrote the majority of the material, and covers Coltrane’s ‘Satellite’. A very cool set.

Alden Hellmuth alto saxophone
Logan Kane - bass
Miller Wrenn - bass
Justin Brown - drums

This is an exceptional set. Rempis can play in so many different contexts…

Katina Kleijn - cello
Lia Kohl - cello
Dave Rempis - soprano/alto/baritone saxophone

Nice new album from Bari Saxophonist Jimmy Farace, kind of an unusual trio format.

Clark Sommers - bass
Dana Hall - drums and cymbals

A recent release Monk Live in Paris 1967 Vol. 1 . For a 1967 live recording the sound is fine indeed, a 2002 Rudy Van Gelder digital remastering. All four pieces are excellent with the 14 plus minute Evidence being a standout to these ears. I am looking forward to Volume 2. This live set includes the Thelonious Monk Quartet: Charlie Rouse, Larry Gales, and Ben Riley. Joining the Quartet are Johnny Griffin, Phil Woods, Jimmy Cleveland, and Ray Copeland. A nice review from All About Jazz and a Qobuz link for the curious below.

A nice follow-up to Thelonious Monk

[lonson]

A good concert I’ve had on cd since 2002 issued by TS Monk on Thelonious Records.

I had forgotten that I have the 2002 double CD release on Thelonious Records, Thelonious Live in Paris Vol. 1 & 2. I never did pick-up Vol 3, and this recent reissue is most worthy.

[lonson]

I bought all those Thelonious Records when first released. Great stuff.

[weedeewop]

I missed out on a handful. As you say great stuff.
