Another album that blew me away. I'd heard live at Newport, but this is like nothing I've heard before
Duke Ellington - New Orleans Suite

So this supposedly a bootleg recording of an album that Brandford Marsalis and his quartet never released. It's a live date at the Village Vanguard in New York, circa 1989. Don't know what Marsalis didn't like about it but the decision not to put it out was probably not matter of performance because they're in great form.
Quartet: Branford Marsalis, tenor sax Kenny Kirkland, piano Rob Hurst, bass Jeff "Tain" Watts, drums |

Protrait of Wellman Braud is like nothing I've ever heard, stunning. The Portrait of Mahalia Jackson is another highlight for me, very moving and soothing

I think "Portrait of Mahalia Jackson" is one of his greatest compositions - in the context of his entire career. It has an unassuming, gently swaying quality that evokes gospel and blues in an interesting, unorthodox key.
(As for portrait subject: I'm not a big gospel fan, but I love a lot of Mahalia's work - especially her World's Greatest Gospel Singer album.) |

I don't know any of her work, I'm going to check out everyone who has a portrait on this record sometime. Thanks for the rec!
Speaking of Ellington, I also really got into the Far East Suite
