Now Spinning
I thought I would introduce a new, ongoing section to catalogue what I'm currently listening to, any comments, and sometimes why.
Two drummers have my attention right now (perhaps because I'm missing Max Roach so damn much):
John Hollenbeck's new Claudia Quintet CD, For, on Cuneiform, because anything John does is worth hearing, and a friend just reminded me what a brilliant and original composer John is. So far I'm loving it.
Paul Motian's new live CD featuring his Trio 2000 with Greg Osby and Masabumi Kikuchi added. Motian's touch is just so great.
