Will take a listen. If not only for “Snorre” and that moustache.

Just ordered that album on lp. 2018 album but sounds a bit like 70’s, apart some rap voice singing sometimes. Delightful.
Have it (Suzuki-Cat) on order too, as a side order for another album, it wasn’t expensive and nice to have. But having read that the label is known for their bootlegs. Needle drops and digital sources are used. How is the quality?
Not received it yet…will say you.

The Jane Monheit album is her latest and I believe it is her very best one

The album of Kjetil is also great, a different type of solo piano album.

Locked Down Jazz Appreciation - Album of the Week
31: Sarah Vaughan: Sarah Vaughan (With Clifford Brown) (EmArcy)
Considered a member of the Holy Trinity of female jazz singers – along with Ella
Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday – “Sassy” Sarah Vaughan entered the studio with rising
trumpet god Clifford Brown to record this album, which many jazz critics believe to be
her best. The nine-song set begins with a sprightly rendition of George Shearing’s
‘Lullaby Of Birdland’ and a fine, carefree swinger called ‘You’re Not The Kind’, but
elsewhere Vaughan serves up some gorgeous ballads, including a wistful ‘April In Paris’
(which finds Brown playing a plangent but lyrical horn solo using a mute) and a sensuous
‘Embraceable You’, where she caresses the lyrics with her gorgeous contralto tone.
Key song: ‘Lullaby Of Birdland’
Enjoy

Three favourites off the Astell&Kern whilst gently pottering in the sunshine.
I do like the guitarist Julian Lange.
And a gentle one he made with Stan and a photo from that time.
Old age and several heart attacks has caused him to retire.
On Quobuz.

Amazing compositions, I played the violin with D’Silva’s son few years back, a great guy and still digs his father’s stuff, Indian mixed with Jazz gives things more possibilities in terms of harmony structure and abundant tonal colour as a result, all time classic!
Thank you for the Billy Strayhorn recommendation.
I was not familiar with this record and will have a listen and try to discover it’s history. I can’t find it in the Nagel Heyer catalogue but it’s what I love to do and it keeps me happy(ish).
Lovely picture of Sweet Pea on the album cover.

Trying to find any info on the Billy Strayhorn proved difficult and, as Nick said, its not listed in the current nagel heyer records catalogue. Listening to a few of the tracks suggests it’s a compilation culled from various Ellingtonia group recordings, e.g. Johhny Hodges, with Strayhorn on piano. I think the Stanley Dance Sessions contain some of Billy Strayhorn’s best small group recordings. The highly regarded album Cue For Saxophone is from these sessions.
Carsten Dahl is a new name to me but I’m enjoying the album. I love a good piano trio. Nice interplay between the musicians.
McCoy Tyner’s Nights of Ballads and Blues is a favourite.
