Currently on repeat is Bill Evans - Conversations with Myself.
Bill overdubbing a three way exchange with his own separate piano tracks, recorded in 1963 it's still amazing.

Good quality original vinyl is hard to get... new vinyl is spoken of in whispers...

Blossom should have been HUGE but she spoke her mind, wasn't 'compliant' in a record label sense and wasn't the kind of pretty those same record labels wanted on their roster. She was a great piano player, an insightful songwriter and had a self depreciating wit with a deceptively frail waif-like voice. Other musicians loved her.

Apparently she played the Cork Jazz Festival many decades ago and I'm told she was amazing..

Only came across her name for the first time through Paul Rigby aka The Audiophile Man. She sounds quite unique though I still haven’t managed to have a listen.

Thanks! The first one was actually the one I listened to last night. I’m not really gone on female Jazz vocals and never was. We’ll see…..

Charlotte Wassy: Niam


Image


Wassy is a strong vocalist. Eleven of the twelve tracks on this album were both composed and arranged by Wassy. I must admit that I find the lyrics to be somewhat laborious. However, the performance levels of the accompanying musicians on this album are terrific!

Fergus I never came across Charlotte Wassy it's a name I must keep an eye out for.

I've been playing this among other Louis Armstrong CDs.
A magic recording from 1957 with Ray Brown, Herb Ellis and Louis Bellson, what a line up.
As laid back as a warm lazy summer afternoon.

I may be wrong, Derek, but I imagine that you have it on one of your external hard drives. I could be thinking of someone else's HD though.

There’s a couple of HDs I haven’t delved into in a long time. So much music so little…
