And last but not least ...... the last CD I have heard 1000 times and more is the one mic recording, Carmen Gomes, from the small but fine dutch label Sound Liaison. Recorded using just one microphone (Josephson C700S), the recordings only allow small combos that can be placed in a circle around the mic. No mixing after the recording is possible any longer. With Great results!!
Carmen Gomes' voice is hot, hot, hot!!!!!!
"There’s a lot of quality musicianship on this recording; it’s very clear. So very rare to hear a group of young people pick up on the vibes (of these standards) and be true to the music. God bless you…...Keep doin what you’re doin.”
- Don Sebesky
Everything here is pretty old. Not a slam for I own and enjoy many of them. But come on, I wanna hear suggestions of jazz records from the last decade (2011 to now). Please no slow, languid snoozers, or 'free' vacuous stuff.
