Today (15 May) marks the seventy second anniversary of the recording of Jazz at Massey Hall, featuring Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus and Max Roach. Each of whom could easily be considered a musical genius.

My copy of the record (from the 1970s) is called "The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever", and I wouldn't disagree. It marks the standard for bebop. An absolute classic!

European Episode is an album by American jazz saxophonist Lee Konitz and French pianist Martial Solal recorded in Italy in 1968 and released on the Campi label.

Fred Bouchard wrote for All About Jazz:

"..Fleet meets phlegmatic in this exquisite 1968 meeting during a Konitz tour of Europe with Algerian-born pianist Martial Solal and le plus grand rhythm section in all Europe back then: drummer Daniel Humair and bassist Henri Texier.

The kaleidoscopic, Tristano-esque (often bitonal) "Collage on Standards rambles over one-third of disc one, not merely touching but massaging Tin Pan Alley ("Please Be Kind, "Johnny One Note, "My Funny Valentine ), Rodgers & Hammerstein ("The Song Is You, "People Will Say We're In Love, "Old Man River ) and Euro-faves ("Come Back To Sorrento, Chopin licks)..."

Questa frase di tre quarti si ripete per sei volte, collocata in modo obliquo sul tempo di 4/4 del brano, creando un effetto di poliritmia che ci fa perdere ogni riferimento ritmico. Ecco l'analisi di "Tempus Fugit".

Moody (also released as Moody's Workshop) is an album by saxophonist James Moody composed of sessions from 1954 with a septet arranged by Quincy Jones. The LP was released on the Prestige label.

Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, stated: "In the mid-'50s James Moody led a four-horn septet that played music falling somewhere between bop and rhythm & blues. The danceable rhythms and riffing made its recordings somewhat accessible but the solos of Moody (on tenor and alto) and trumpeter Dave Burns also held listener's interests".
