Avishai Cohen,

I have so many of his CD's, difficult to choose from.
for me, Morenika, Shalom Aleichem and Seven seas are the tracks that come to my mind.

Nina Ramsby with Ludvig Berghe Trio: "Nu Väntar Tiden" (Now Is the Time)
It's in Swedish, and I don't know what she's saying, but it doesn't matter, I just kinda go with the languorous flow...

What a great recording. Such raw and clean recordings work with jazz best.

Any love for Duke Ellington and Co here?

I recently re-discovered the album Blues in Orbit, not so famous but the recording is raw and very good at the old Columbia studio. I read that they had just returned from a Europe tour and the label wanted them to churn out an album. They did some all night jet lag sessions right away and this was the result. There is some truly beautiful exposition here, as one expects. My favorite track is Smada, the second. It is like a journey into another world, great studio work, the melody and support are enchanting as ever. Simply delightful. The pianist seems to be registering some notes of protest at times, ending the song on a low ringing note. In any case, as I listen, I am there in the room with these guys, incredible musicians., all of them. The attitude is tangible and clear.

Other Duke fans: what are your favorite recordings? Tracks?

The "All-Star Road Band" recordings, live [I think 1957 and 1963], dancers on the floor, requests shouted, The Duke gives the last call for alcohol. Minimally miked, great stereo imaging. As the Strayhorn arrangement of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" was the first version of that work I encountered, have been listening to it ever since.
