Struts, again you come up with an artist that would seem somewhat obscure here in the states. I had a difficult time finding any samples of his music. One outfit wants 50 large for your recommended recording. I did find some samples from "Dompan At The Savoy" (at a very unlikely place Clicky Here) which also seems to offer a fairly good sample of Arne's breadth. The piano player is not too shabby either. Arne seemed fairly young from the album cover picture. Thanks for the heads up although it would seem I am once again late to the party.

Not to worry - I have the utmost respect for Arne Domn

Struts, thanks for passing along the sad news. I'll open a fresh bottle of wine tonight and put on JATP.

It's not the artist's fault that certain albums become "over appreciated". Until recently, I'd totally missed Jennifer Warnes, except for her Runaway Horse cut on Rob Wasserman's wonderful Duets album. When the re-release of Famous Blue came out I bought it wondering what I'd missed. It is a fine, well recorded album, but not earth shattering. A few spots do show off the system.

It's funny about JATP, I'd always thought that the clinking glasses were overdone, way more than I usually hear at a live jazz club. Still, I'd sit down with a friend and they'd say, "wow, listen to that glass clinking, just like the real thing" and I'd wonder why people used that as a standard. (Maybe they spent more time in bars than me, particularly those annoying ones where no one's listening to the music and everyone is talking and clinking glasses).

Clinking glasses and all, it's coming out tonight.

Well said Dave.

We pay so little to enjoy and share these great live recordings.

WWCMS: What Would Charles Mingus Say

Research assignment:

Charles Mingus and clinking glasses

Post your answers to this thread: Mingus and the clinking glasses

Well, in the middle of celebrating Arne's life and music (about half way through a great bottle of Chianti Classico Reserva by Querceto) I ran across "Antiphone Blues" on SACD, a reissue from the Proprious with Arne and organist Gustaf Sjokvist riffing blues in a Swedish church. I ordered and it came in today.

Anyone that likes sax and blues will likely like this. The organ lines a very simple, church-like lines, which Arne freely improvises over. The cuts are "made for LP" at 3 to 4 minutes long. The beauty is in Arne's tone, mixed with the organ accompanyment. You just luxuriate in the sound.

Don't expect to hear musical ideas that you've never heard before. Just enjoy the great sounds in a very nice acoustical space. Of course, the sonics are extremely good.
