CD Review: The Greg Hatza ORGANisation - Diggin' Up my Roots.
Monday, February 27, 2017
RIP Horace Parlan
CD Review - sort of - Tim Armacost: Time Being.
(Review by Lance).
My kind of tenor playing! My kind of jazz! Armacost is one of those blowing guys that catch your attention from chorus one. He's Blue Note, Prestige, Riverside - those labels would have reached out to him way back when.
To be honest, I didn't quite follow the blurb and it made me think I was cheating by just listening and enjoying!
Then I did think about it and played a Hank Mobley CD.
I Stopped thinking.
