Musical Interlude: Charlie Byrd

I purchased a couple of CDs by Charlie Byrd at Amazon.


Byrd's Word!

from Riverside
recorded in 1958

I decided to get this CD
because it has two tracks with
Charlie Byrd's wife Ginny Byrd
singing:
Blue Turning Grey Over You and Don't Explain.

I liked her style of singing on another CD,
Charlie Byrd Trio and Woodwinds.
Aparently there aren't many recordings by her.


Homage to Jobim

is a live recording from Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival in 1994.

It features Ken Peplowski too. So it's doubly enjoyable for me.
Like Bossa Nova Years album, I like their blissful collaboration.
I like the hermonica part, by Hendrik Muerkens, too.

Also I bought the Grenadilla album by Mr. Peplowski.
I would listen to it as soon as I have a chance.
