Post by Max SmithCould someone familiar with Lorne Lofsky recommend a single (readily
available) CD that you consider his best?
Lorne's own CDs are hard to find and obtain, unless you want to mail
order from Canada. Two CDs under his own name are : (1) "Bill,
Please," JID 9307 and (2)Lorne Lofsky DSRD 31081. Both of these are on
the Jazz Inspiration label, which is very hard to locate. Neither
Amazon or Tower seemed to carry it when I was looking for these CDs.
Do a Google search on the Jazz Inspiration label and you may find the
Canadian distributors that carry them. Also check Lorne's web site and
he may have details how to buy these. Both CDs I've mentioned are very
good, "Bill, Please" might be a my preference but the other CD is
equally as good. The other CD that is easily obtainable is "This Is
New," on Concord with Ed Bickert. He is a great jazz player, very
underrated, very modern. He deserves more recognition than he gets. He
also has a couple of videos and one of them is just him playing with a
bass player, very good to watch.
