Lovely, hot New Orleans groove.

Nice Album Markof


He gets a bit more New Orleans Bluesy collaborating with Corey Harris.

Duke Ellington's fabulous 1950's trumpet section performing Cat Anderson's flag waver., 'El Gato'.

From left to right: Harold 'Shorty' Baker (the section's favourite lead man), Clark Terry, William 'Cat' Anderson and Ray Nance:

I picked this up in Tower yesterday (a mere €11.99 for the CD!) and it's a huge improvement over his other stuff which frankly I found disappointing. This comes with bonus tracks and a 5 track live DVD with the Metropole Orkest.
I suspect he has a few Johnny Hartman LPs in his collection.

European style jazz accordion - who could ask for more :-).
Lovely album on what is an excellent label - ACT.
Has a kind of soft machine vibe too.

Michael Wollny is an excellent pianist in his own right and the following albums are well worth investigating.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I'll check on Qobuz.

Heard this recently on a friends system, he is a professional reviewer for a Hi-Fi magazine so he has some serious kit. He describes this as his reference vinyl album. Wow what a sound the clarity, the dynamics and soundstage - wonderful and the music, St James Infirmary, Frankie and Johnny etc sublime!! Needless to say I had to get one and so after some searching I have finally acquired a nice clean copy of Discogs for a very reasonable price. Now this has become my own reference vinyl. It also sounds pretty mean on CD!
