Spring is Here!
Stan G's playing on Spring is Here is way up there with his best. Gets right in your ear with sweetness but watch out when he dials it up a notch on the way out then brings you down easy. Unbelievable!

Bad X-Fer? Mixed Poorly?
The samples up here all sound bad: The sax is in the center, but the WHOLE band is all on the left side. And if I listen off the headphones, it almost sounds like there's some strange phasey stuff going on. They sound like a bad transfer.

Since he started singing, he's had a way with a wryly observational lyric, married to an equally breezy, bluesy tune. The Way of the World is typical Mose,… more »
The Rise and Fall of Lucky Thompson
By Kevin Whitehead, eMusic Contributor
A few years ago, Italian saxophonist Daniele D'Agaro was visiting Chicago, and a critic friend put on a fairly obscure record to stump him. D'Agaro listened for about three seconds, said: "Lucky." Good ears. He knows the distinctive sound of Lucky Thompson after he started hanging out in Paris and playing sumptuous tenor saxophone ballads recalling old idol Don Byas's Parisian sides. On "Solitude" and "We'll Be Together Again," from Lucky in Paris 1959, his tenor's… more »
