I'll Remember April J.J. Johnson Quartet

Good album. New release. Not a masterpiece, but the sparkle keeps me an attentive listener. Vandermark keeps changing and evolving. Good listening.

I am a major fan of the relatively early Yamashita trio with Sakata and Moriyama. Though their music is extremely gnarly/free/outside and might not appeal to ~~some~~ many.

Was listening to a jazz show on the radio yesterday and the host started a track saying it was from his all time favorite jazz album, and it was this. A Wynton album I don't think I've heard before.

One of my faves!

Yes! I have the Blue Note twofer release, desert island material despite the irksome programming of consecutive pairs of alternate tracks (2x"The Chase", 2x"The Squirrel", 2x"Our Delight",...)

Listening

Takeru Muraoka (ts) Quartet incl. Masabumi Kikuchi (electric piano)

I listened to this yesterday. It's quite cool imo.

Very soulful and full of swing.

^Huh. I've heard a lot of ELD albums, but don't recognize that cover.

Apparently it's got a "Stolen Moments" that predates Nelson's own version. Will be giving it a play later today.

This is in the Rampal Sony box. I expected to dislike it; I'm mainly a fan of old school "straight ahead" jazz--perhaps "pre-Trane" would sum me up. But this is quite charming.

If you're in the mood for more, there's a whole series he did, including a second CD with Rampal which I assume is also in that box
