2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;

"Concord recorded a number of solo piano concerts in the warm surroundings of the tiny Maybeck Recital Hall and one would be hard-pressed to find any that surpass this outstanding performance by Sir Roland Hanna. Over half of his program is devoted to selections by George Gershwin, beginning with a dazzling "Love Walked In," which delves into a jaunty style reminiscent of the late Erroll Garner… Like many of the releases in this series, Hanna's Maybeck concert was dropped from the catalog after the company changed hands, so expect it to become a high-priced collectable before long." (AllMusic)
I couldn't find a soundtrack from the Maybeck Recital so this will do:

This by Gene Harris also from the Maybeck Recital Hall series. It is rather wonderful IMHO.
It is on Tidal.
I bought most of the Maybeck series when they came out on cd and they are all good.
2001 - CD...
Always good to hear JJ interpreting his own songs like Cocaine and After Midnight. Money Talks is a particular favourite.
Jeroen20 posted:If you like modern jazz piano trio's, than I can highly recommend this album / artist. I don't know much about Orrin Evans (yet). I just listened to this album on Tidal and I think it's is very good. Most tracks are up tempo ones.
All his albums are high quality - so do. also explore the others...
Some mellow jazz to round of the evening. UK pressing on Mercury from the late 1960s:
Presently and pleasantly grooving my way thought Gerry's albums.
He certainly got to meet some really cool people : )
Debs
Graham's Pussnboots post (nice album cover) reminded me of this lovely lady
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

James, I bought the download from Qobuz as it seemed better priced than the CD version

Hmm - never used Qobuz. Thanks Graham i'll take a look 
ToddHarris posted:Grateful Dead/Cornell University/May 8th - just released last week (also on vinyl and digital download) - 40 years ago today - not my favorite show from the May '77 tour, but certainly a great one!
Listening to this CD rip now - a very fine show. I was at the May 12-13, 1977 shows at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, so those had to be my favorites!

Streaming Tidal.
Charles Lloyd Quartet - Paris 1967, 1994 CD rip. Good one.

I remember buying this on LP when it was first released. Eric Dolphy on bass clarinet is always worth hearing.
So, some Andrew Hill next - Compulsion!!!!! is a favourite. Thanks for the nudge.

Brilliant record. One of my top 5 by Bill.
A + 3 | WAV
(1972)
J.J.'s second album, well recorded as usual, ripped from fine sounding original Mercury label CD
You might be interested because it's so easy to overlook the recent (ha) past and there are some pretty full on sound stages in there.
Such depth, from "It began in Africa" to "The State we're in" - great album - on vinyl of course
William Bell - This Is Where I Live. (William wrote the well known "Born Under A Bad Sign").
Do you ever buy a new album, only to find that you simply can't stop playing it?
So, no apologies for posting this one again ................. simply stunning!
