"We are at the little newspaper Montparnasse Shepp who gives the voice, who blows fire on his quartet ... The Lann is even particularly highlighted on two of his titles ... and we say that for once, we just attended a concert where something really happened . " A. MERLIN / JAZZMAN. " Quarrelsome twins in a symbiotic breath, Eric Le Lann and Archie Shepp leave little time for the Petit Journal to breathe." R. GUYOMARC'H / IMPROJAZZ.

(2:43)  9. Lament of the Lonely

Honi Gordon's obscurity (this was her only recording as a solo singer) is a mystery for she displays a great deal of talent on this date. Her father George Gordon wrote some of the tricky lyrics (which are phrased like a horn) and Honi (who is given stimulating support by pianist Jaki Byard, Ken McIntyre on flute and alto, guitarist Wally Richardson, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Ed Shaughnessy) is up to the job. Her version of Charles Mingus's "Strollin'" is definitive, she finds something new to say on "Ill Wind" and really digs into the originals. This is bop-based jazz singing at its best. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/honi-gordon-sings-mw0000273471

Personnel:  Honi Gordon – vocals; Ken McIntyre – alto sax, flute; Wally Richardson – guitar; Jaki Byard – piano; George Duvivier – bass; Ed Shaughnessy – drums

Thank You Luis!

(6:13)  9. A Method To The Madness
(3:45) 10. My Funny Valentine

Trumpeter Marvin Stamm, rather than drag out the usual bebop standards, mostly introduces new material on his CD. Four songs are played by Berg's quartet with pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Mike Richmond, and drummer Terry Clarke; six add Bob Mintzer's tenor, and of those songs, three find Bob Malach (on tenor and soprano) making the band a sextet. Because Stamm paid as much attention to varying tempos and moods as he did to changing the instrumentation, this set holds one's interest throughout, swinging hard in a modern fashion. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/mystery-man-mw0000619145

Personnel: Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Marvin Stamm;  Bass – Mike Richmond; Drums – Terry Clarke; Piano – Bill Charlap; Tenor Saxophone – Bob Mintzer , Bob Malach

Tommy Flanagan Trio - Tommy Flanagan Trio

Styles: Piano Jazz
Year: 1985
File: MP3@320K/s
Time: 33:37
Size: 77,7 MB
Art: Front

(3:41)  1. In The Blue Of The Evening
(4:27)  2. You Got To My Head
(5:19)  3. Velvet Moon
(3:35)  4. Come Sunday - Solo Piano
(4:22)  5. Born To Be Blue
(5:30)  6. Jes' Fine - Instrumental
(6:39)  7. In A Sentimental Mood

Since this set (reissued on CD) was originally recorded for the Prestige subsidiary Moodsville, most of the selections are taken at slow tempoes. With bassist Tommy Potter and drummer Roy Haynes giving the pianist fine support, the trio cooks a bit on Flanagan's "Jes' Fine" but otherwise plays such songs as "You Go to My Head," "Come Sunday" (which is taken as a solo piano feature) and "Born to Be Blue" quietly and with taste. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/tommy-flanagan-trio-1960-mw0000340355
