'Mirakle' by Derek Bailey, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Calvin Weston The new Derek Bailey (on Tzadik) is tremendous! Since the lineup is Derek vs. Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston's harmolodic approach, I wondered whether Bailey would be straightjacketed in the same way Pat Metheny was on Project X with Ornette Coleman. He was not.

Bailey basically took Tacuma/Weston to the woodshed and kicked their ass. What is amazing about DB's playing now is that his sense of intonation and dynamics have elevated to a new level. Oddly enough, I find myself wishing that DB would record an album with Kenny G. I bet it would be Mr. G's last record.

Have you ever noticed that almost every Derek Bailey record was made in one day? I bet if they gave time of day as well as date you would find that they say something like 1:30 pm - 2:20 pm.
