And tomorrow I'm joining the march 'cause I've had all I can stand and can't stand no more.  Sure hope I don't get my head clubbed-in.  I'm too old for this actually, but also too old for Repiglican Oppression.  1970 redux.

Chet Baker and Philip Catherine -  Chet's Choice (1985)

This is a great album. Chet Bakes has been my recent discovery. His 1980s stuff is great.

Yeah! I'm going to have to try and hear more of his later albums, which I'm largely unfamiliar with, so any recommendations welcomed. As I indicated a little bit upthread there were two in the RVG project I heard - She Was Too Good To Me from 1974 and Studio Trieste from 1982 - both of which I though were unexpected knockouts.

now:



Terry Gibbs - It's Time We Met Terry Gibbs (1965)
Warne marsh - Star Highs (1982)



Joe Maneri - Coming Down The Mountain (1997)
Eberhard Weber - Pendulum (1993)

I only have a few of his disks, but out of them I really like Candy and Broken Wing.

Miles Davis - Water Babies

Will check those two out. Thanks.

There's lots of fine late Chet Baker ... the one most outstanding album may be "Crystal Bells" (CD reissue on Igloo). Others I really like include "Strollin'" and "Peace" (both Enja), somewhat earlier "Broken Wings" (reissued in Universal France's "Jazz in Paris" series), "Mr. B." (Timeless, also reiasued in their most recent series). "Blues for a Reason" (Criss Cross, with Warne Marsh and the late Hod O'Brien) is also pretty good, so is "Candy" (if you can find the Sonet reissue), and so is the duo album with Paul Bley, "Diane" (Steeplechase). The "Sesjun Radio Shows" two-disc-set gives a good overview of late Chet in different line-ups ... and "Silence", the Soul Note album with Charlie Haden, Enrico Pieranunzi and Billy Higgins, can be found in the Haden "The Complete Remastered Recordings On Black Saint & Soul Note" (CAM Jazz) (but not in the Pieranunzi one, just in case ... they have since started duplicating sideman-appearances much more often ...)

Either way, last jazz albums on play here:






The last one just bought in Novara at the concert of the Vinnie Golia Trio (which was truly excellent, though it should have been the Bobby Bradford/Vinnie Golia Quartet).

Lovin the Jack Johnson. On the Corner I am still trying to appreciate. Great sound on these Mofi SACDs.

Thanks very much for that. Made a note of all of those. Will probably get to the Criss Cross album soon, as I'm trying to play one of their albums every day.

Stan Kenton is one of my faves, Karl. Great stuff. Check out his Standards albums: Portrait On Standards and Sketches On Standards. Right up your alley.
