Jon3 offers no track info but may not need it for this stellar duo:

Dave Douglas and Uri Caine
Longtime collaborators trumpeter Dave Douglas and pianist Uri Caine perform music from their first ever duo project, Present Joys.
Heavyweights of the American scene, both Douglas and Caine are known for their restless approach, covering vast ground from classical music to avant-garde, swinging post-bop to jazz-jungle crossovers. Their recent release, Present Joys, explores music inspired by the Sacred Harp songbooks - blending the rich history of New England's church-song traditions with elements of swing and improvisation. Here in concert at the Howard Assembly Room in Leeds, the intimate nature of the music allows for both instrumental voices to shine, in deft exchanges and stunning passages of exposed lyricism.

we anticipate furiously!

very little in any art form is as brilliant as the LP these two cut in '56

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

After next week we should have an all Scottish version of JRR....Ronnie Scott, Howard Mcgee, Jackie Mclean, Annie Ross etc. and Rufus and his bagpipes.

Wales is next....

Scotland after independence...like Antibes but with porridge and with Lulu instead of Ms Bardot and her bouncing beach ball.

"Fuffuffuffuffuffuff"

The sound of Ben Webster finishing a phrase, imitated by a friend.

oh och aye very British

The group was put together to play as the resident band on the pop TV programme Oh Boy!, which was produced by Jack Good, and shown nationally on ITV in the UK in 1958/59. They were fronted by Harry Robinson, and also included jazz baritone saxophonist and later writer Benny Green, and organist Cherry Wainer. Other members were Don Storer (drums), Reg Weller (percussion), Red Price (tenor sax), Rex Morris (tenor sax), Cyril Reubens (baritone sax), Ronnie Black (double bass), Bernie Taylor (guitar), Eric Ford (guitar). Joining the group later were Kenny Packwood (guitar) and Ian Frazer (piano).

- that will be a No then Dr.?

or an alternative view of independence in the 60s

'Red said of Lord Rockingham’s
band “I’ll let you into a secret: we
used to tune one tenor sharp, one
flat, one baritone sharp and one
flat…. and that’s how we got that
f***ing awful sound”'

Nice interview with Terry Cryer, the Brit 50/60s jazz etc photographer on Cerys just now.

Interesting to read the comments about Ben Webster as the kind of playing SA alludes to only really manifested itself in the 1950's. Prior to this , I've always felt that Webster was quite a progressive force within Duke Ellington's classic 1940's band and even further away from what he became in his more rollicking debut with Bennie Moten in 1932.

For once, I felt the music matched the Jon3 hype.
