Stone Flower is the second album I downloaded because of this thread. Apparently, I am mellowing out in my old age.

you're not gonna become one of those mellowed out jazz bores are you?

Ha, let me light this cigar, then I'll tell you.

Fun exercise: For each piece on Ballads, listen to a performance by a canonized vocalist first, then play the Bailey version. So far, I think "Body and Soul" might work best in terms of showing the most connection between the original tune and the out improvisation.

another classic imo

thats a good album

still 'incredible jazz guitar' & 'live at birdland' are better than almost all of the records (of the ones ive heard) that have listed since

well if you had voted then they would have been higher!

im not sure i would have been able to do this ... it covers such a huge amt of music

it does, but it's fun! And the whole top 250 is full of great music.

Great to see this make it too!

for the bulk of my jazz listening days 'ready for freddie' was out of print so i built it up in my mind as some kind of lost classic. finally found a japanese import, have to say I was kind of disappointed by how regular it was, great performances & everything but I think I was imagining something incredible

always kind of underwhelmed by blue mitchell for w/e reason -- i mean hes def solid but just solid

So pleased to see this get in , it really is a classic bit of hard bop!

i havent heard that record in particular tho

You really should!
