NYC and the iPod (CD Player for you older folks)
Well, I have had a great week of listening and wanted to pass along some recommedations to you:
Jimmy Greene - True Life Stories (Criss Cross Jazz)
feat. Jimmy Greene on tenor saxophone, Jeremy Pelt on trumpet, Xavier Davis on piano, Reuben Rogers on bass and Eric Harland on drums. Jimmy is a great young saxophonist who obviously has listened and emulated a lot of the old school cats but who as also incorporated a lot of the more contemporary styles in his playing. He is a really individual player and swings like crazy. I first heard him cutting his teeth in the Tom Harrell band but has since developed into a great leader and his playing continues to inspire me. He is a great composer to.
Dr. Lonnie Smith - Jungle Soul (Palmetto Records)
feat. Dr. Lonnie Smith on organ, Peter Bernstein on guitar, Allison Miller on drums and Matt Balitsaras on rhythm guitar
This is a great record. Exactly what you expect from the good Dr. Nothing more, nothing less. If you have had the opportunity to see the Dr. live you quickly realize that this record doesn't even come close to doing him justice because seeing him live adds so much to his playing. Bernstein sounds killing and particularily impressive is drummer Allison Miller. If you're a fan of the B3 organ, you simply have to own this one!
Jodi Proznick Quartet - Foundation (working title), Cellar Live
feat. Tilden Webb on piano, Jodi Proznick on bass, Steve Kaldestad on tenor sax and Jesse Cahill on drums. Okay, Im cheating cuz this one isn't out yet but boy are there going to a be a lot of happy people when it comes out. This record sounded good in the studio but it really came together when Shawn Pierce put the final touches on the mix. We still have a few things to tweak but boy does this record swing hard. Sounds wonderful. Will be available for sale at the beginning of November.
Im excited because Im heading to NYC with Alana on Monday. Yahooo!! Its gonna be a blast! Here are just a couple of things we have planned to see. Cedar Walton with Vincent Herring at Dizzy's, Peter Bernstein Trio at The Jazz Standard and Jimmy Greene at SMOKE. Gonna be a blast. I may blog a little bit but don't know for sure.
Alana and I have announced our date FINALLY!!! May 26th, 2007. Here we go!

Before getting new MP3 players you might find it helpful to read up on electronics and see if some new version of that MP3 player or other electronics are soon to be available.
