[b]Moundsee Variations VI - Paul Bley. This is an enchanting and peculiar album.
I was listening to "Solo in Mondsee" just a couple of weeks ago. All things considered, Bley is probably my favorite living pianist. What do you find "peculiar" about the album?
Detour Ahead from Waltz With Betty - Bill Evans Trio (But most of you know that).
I'm thinking "Debby" is going to be none to pleased about this. 🙂[/b]
It's hard for me to wrap my arms around that Bley recording. Tough to hearwhere the structure ends and improvisation begins.

Has anyone tried listening to:
Ahmad Jamal
Charlie Parker
Dizzy Gillespie
Jimmy Smith
Wes Montgomery
Dave Brubeck
Denon
Esperanza Spalding
George Shearing
The Glenn Miller Story
Jimmy Smith

Dave Brubeck's okay for a modern group.
Glenn Miller was the best of the big band era while Benny Goodman/Artie Shaw were the best of the swing era.
