    Just listening to this sample of Alan Ferber's big band album which is due for release next week. I stumbled across his music by accident having read a review on line and then heard a track on JLU afterwards. I have his last three albums , a mixture of big band, nonet and a nonet + strings, each of which is pretty amazing. I am a huge fan of his music and think he is easily one of the most rewarding people writing jazz at the moment. The opening of this track is pretty weird and immediately grabbed my attention.

      My bemusement is who it was aimed at. There was a spate of jazz meets folk tunes albums around this time, presumably to cash in on the late 50s emergent folk scene. Kingston Trio et al. I've got a Jim Hall/Bill Smith effort and a Harold Land/Carmell Jones plays Folk Songs...hard bop meets Tom Dooley. The best of the bunch by far is Johnny Griffin's Kerry Dancers, which is a wonderful album with Barry Harris and Ron Carter.

      Shelly's Jewish take was I suspect more in line with these than a homage to Jazz Jewishness. Who bought it is anyone's guess. I gather a second set was planned but never saw the light. The band however is VERY good and if given the right material...

                  I used to be a bit dismissive of those later Columbia albums, but there's some very good stuff on them. And when Monk is restrained, Charlie Rouse asserts. Rouse grows on me.
