HARD BOP JAZZ.....Power Music!
Big boss sounds of Curtis Fuller on trombone and the mighty Benny Golson on tenor...what terrific major jazz truism sounds.
BLUE NOTE........Tremendous!
If you want incredible and provocative jazz...then get stuff on Blue Note. They are so strong in letting us dig high-quality jazz sounds........
MAGIC.....OH YEAH....MAGIC JAZZ!
The gigantic and just right tones of Curtis Fuller on this 'blues-ette' music thing are so fine! Just right for hot August days and nights.
LOVE HARD BOP POWER JAZZ...
The sounds of Curtis Fuller and Benny Golson are so good...but the magical piano jazz work of Tommy Flanagan serves us up a tasty meal of fine jazz creating, also.
CURTIS FULLER ....HE ROCKS!

Flanagan, Fitzgerald: Greatness in Jazz
Highly sophisticated piano jazz has such tremendous appeal. I listened to one of my very favorite keyboard men today, the great Tommy Flanagan. The man has pure joy going on when he is really cookin' with lilting linear lines of vivid improvisation. It's interesting how he can adapt himself. He gets some fabulous work done on the J.J. Johnson tune, 'Lament.' And also I truly find myself delighted with the sparkling really uptempo number, 'Raincheck.' Tommy Flanagan backed up the great Ella Fitzgerald for a long time. They made grand, intoxicating so joyous music together. The wonderfully honed phrasing of Tommy Flanagan on piano and the delightful vocal nuances developed by Ella Fitzgerald...well these sounds are what one might call the very pinnacle of jazz delight.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
