here’s a little something from brazil, part of their show at the 25th tiradentes culture and gastronomy festival last august, that ‘bigfootpezao’ shared recently.  the festival site describes the palmeira d’água quintet as “formed by saxophonist marlon wesley, guitarist rodrigo canton and bassist lucas sales, palmeira d’água trio brings to this show the classics of bossa nova and samba jazz. with very good arrangements and brazilian sound, the trio enchants everyone wherever they go.”  well, i was enchanted.  it was just the thing for a rather nice sunday today.  so far, the most pleasant sunday i’ve had all year, and this went very well with it.

i’m finishing the day off by going to hear the andrea jones quartet at the dublin jazz co-op.  what with a really bad cold & its decision to just hang around, this’ll be my first show of the year.  and i’ve been hoping to see andrea jones since i saw her supporting some graduating dcu students in their final student performances last spring, but events have conspired against me until now.  so needless to say i’m very much looking forward to this!

no links to any of the musicians as i could not find any.  maybe i’ll try again later.

this was part of a 5-day run at birdland for the release of one is the other.  despite that, this show only had 3 pieces from the (then) new cd: lennie grooveteule’s redemption, and amethyst, i suppose in part because lee konitz was a guest musician for part of the show.  i quite like that — for me, it’s more interesting than just playing through the cd.

there’s a bit of chat at the beginning of some of the songs, but it’s still a very good recording — just enough chatter to remind you that this is an audience recording.  i’d say better than the taper’s assessment “very listenable, nonetheless”.

taper’s comments:  set promoting the release on 2014-03-04 of billy hart quartet’s new ecm disc, one is the other. most of the music went unannounced, except for lennie’s groove. i’ve differentiated the tracks of the quartet alone as bhq, so if anyone knows the names of these tunes, please help with the setlist. that too goes for the tracks with guest lee konitz. he seemed to be there as a guest/friend of particularly ethan iverson. not sure if he was there on any of the other nights or sets of this engagement.
good recording that suffers in spots from table noises from wait staff at club and nearby chatter. very listenable, nonetheless.
support billy hart and the members of his quartet (and lee konitz) by buying their officially released material and seeing them live.
many thanks to dolphyfan for providing track names.
