you have to to hand it to jalc…  the produtions there are fantastic.  this new year’s eve performance by two of my current favorite pianists is like a turbo-charged piano trio, plus the great jimmy heath (recently deceased, r.i.p.) and nicholas payton thrown in just because new year’s eve at dizzy’s.  with two pianos, i’m always reminded of the salieri line from amadeus that there are simply too many notes (and the first track definitely felt that way). but then, as i always say, too much is not enough, and nothing exceeds like excess.  oh, and speaking of new year… happy lunar new year!  health, luck, and prosperity to all.

the two grand pianos are nestled together opposite each other, cyrus chesnut on the left, benny green on your right

james newton and geri allen is a killer combination, and this is an excellent show.  not overly long, but having longish pieces more than makes up for it (for me, anyway – i think i’ve said that before).  it’s funny, when i think of the flute, i don’t really think of jazz.  not sure why, maybe because other wind instruments are so associated with jazz?

i recently went to a super show at arthur’s here in dublin, take me to the alley – a night of gregory porter, by bobby mc.  it was a long show — two good sets, and bobby mc and the crowd were in great form.  as he said himself, he wasn’t trying to do a gregory porter tribute, or do gregory porter like gregory porter — which was wise.  but his own style was also well suited to the material.  so, a fun evening & definitely someone to keep an eye out for around here.  anyway, it’d been a while since i’d listened to anything by gregory porter, and it’s time to dust off this excellent show by the man himself and share it here.

(the original seeder on dime must be using some sort of actual database…. no doubt a far cry from my pokey little spreadsheet, and definitely much more detailed)

eddie harris isn’t a name that i hear very often, which is too bad, as it sounds as if he put on a great show.  this one also has constant bit of crowd noise that gives it the feel of a club; that can be good or bad, here i think it worked (though it needs turning up, or is it my ears?).  i knew i’d not listened to this in years as it was still in shn format (don’t see that much!)  which i’ve converted to flac.

updates
i originally downloaded jan-2009 from dime (#232127, seed by ‘abbcccus’) in shn format, and converted the files
to flac in jan 2020. as part of that, i slightly renamed the files from cd 1 to be consistent with the others
(though, would anyone break the show up into audio cds now?), created new checksum files and added this new info
file (original file retained).

happy new year!  i was spending a bit of time booking tickets for shows over the next few months, and listening to a concert by melanie de biasio.  and then one from a year later.  and it was still working very well for me, so what the heck?  one from the next year.  super.   so here you go:  shows from mid 2014, 2015 and 2016.  not such very long shows, these only add up to 2 hours, or less, if you skip the interviews 🙂


comments below are from whoever originally recorded & shared the show.  on dime, comments established that this was ‘part of ebu recording at studio 105, paris france 2014-02-06, broadcast on bbc radio 3 “jazz line up” 2015-01-31’.  not sure that is reflected in the info file…

claire martin presents part of a a concert set by belgian vocalist/flautist melanie de biasio and her band recorded in paris at studio 105, radio france. de biasio is a graduate of the conservatoire royal de bruxelles and with her group creates a stripped down sound, almost haunting at times, making dramatic use of space and dynamics.

dubbed by the press as ‘the belgian billie holiday’ 2014 was a breakthrough year for the artist.
she performed at jamie lavelle’s meltdown festival at london’s southbank centre, was the first belgian artist to appear on the jools holland tv show and was announced the winner for belgium at the 2015 european border breakers awards (ebba). one of her greatest champions is dj gilles peterson, who has recently compiled an album ‘no deal – remixed’ due for release in february 2015.

featured on today session are dre pallemaerts (drums), pascal paulus (clavinet, analogue synths), pascal mohy (piano) and melanie de biasio (vocals, flute). this session has been made available courtesy of the european broadcasting union.


i demuxed this from a video.  i listen to jazz while i work, so i end up listening to most videos, not watching them.  no tracking or setlist, sorry!
