Perhaps the best known Hungarian Jazz musician. Tony (Antal) Lakatos started out as a violinist (his father was a well known violinist playing Hungarian folk and Gipsy music), but then, luckily, deviated to Jazz music. This album is a piano-less trio, consisting of Lakatos, the drummer Adam Nussbaum, and the double-bassist George Mraz. It’s straight ahead Jazz, very relaxing. My favourite track is Stardust.
Available on Qobuz.

Does anyone remember the Talkin’ Verve compilation? Doesn’t seem to be available on Tidal so I tried to recreate a playlist.
Found all the tracks apart from Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? by Little Richie Varola and Bags and Strings by Milt Jackson and the Hip String Quartet.
Playlist is here:
This weeks haul.
Work Money Death: ‘The Space In Which The Uncontrollable Unknown Resides, Can Be The Place From Which Creation Arises’ . There is some great music hiding under this horribly recorded/mastered CD. Everything is so muddy, with the piano hidden in the confused sound.
(maybe it is not suited to my headphones which show no mercy with bad recordings?)
Or maybe the well recorded Be Quiet by Nils Petter Molvær was to big a contrast. I love this guys music. Here he presents a series of interesting duets, very electronic.

Two classy alto players. The Parker album offers interesting interpretations, the Criss is more classic be-bop.

I first came across Sonny on JATP. Wonderful blues tinged bop and later in life I became an admirer of his wardrobe.
Shot him self in ‘77.
Martin Speke. Bird probably heard it and thought “” your ‘ avin a laugh” Woolf and Wickens can be a very fine straight ahead duo but that one’s not for me.
Bird had a reputation for being open minded about music so I think he would have listened, at least.
