He’s the connection between two of my favorite players: Mal Waldron and Billy Harper. The two dates with Mal are great (On Tour and Childs Prayer) and recently I am spinning the one with Billy Harper and Cecil Bridgewater on MPS and that on is also excellent. Now his drumming isn’t necessarily anything exceptional but he did form some very fine bands and played some really fine tunes. Is there more to discover and is he known around here by others?

If you’ve seen the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ series, you probably know this guy Jim

2008 Souljazz issue. Sounds great and the music is out of this world. Theme de Yoyo could make every day a happy one, even a boring grey Sunday afternoon in January. I do wonder if they paid their dues to Nessa records @Chuck Nessa Nessa records isnt mentioned anywhere.

I’m mostly into his work with his Ray Brown/Ed Thigpen trio and the stuff on MPS. But I do like the album mhatta mentions here so I’d probably give this new release a try

The solution is crap indeed. I create my own with distilled water, alcohol and a drop of Dreft dish washing fluid. The machine works perfect.

This one’s a classic and it works fantastic! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Knosti-1300001-DISCO-ANTISTAT-RECORD-CLEANER-Black/dp/B000BFXIVW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=WF1UGIFPZXGB&keywords=knosti+disco+antistat&qid=1642744871&sprefix=knosti%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-3 I definitely would not try to clean them with a sponge or something like that. They make scratches. Big scratches!

Hope it gets only better from now on Michael!

Looks nice Dmitry! Curious to see the rest of your haul. But mostly: enjoy them. The whole act of cleaning them and putting them in fresh sleeves is a meditative and joyful activity

I’ve ordered quite some stuff from Black Monk. Great and diverse assortment

Got it on vinyl. It’s great indeed. Superb band

Damn another great musician I really dig his playing. Love his funky free music. Time to spin Infinity once more in his honor. Sounds of Liberation was such a revelation to me. Love that band and that date

Yeah that is what Clifford Allen told me here on the Organissimo board. I now have a vinyl bootleg which I mostly use for it's cover art in my room as the sound is not so great.

Underrated sax player. Rip

Sorry to hear that. Very diverse artist indeed. Still love the Strata East Release.

Happy jazzy new year to everyone!

I saw Benny in spring 2019. Don’t know bout now but would understand he does not perform these days with COVID and stuff…

Thanks Now waiting for the postman to show up

Well it's Christmas and that means not only a little extra salary but also my birthday which I share with our good Lord.

Monty Python…. She puts on her critical face and I almost feel embarrassed laughing…. How do they do that?

Best wishes to all. Hope you all be able to celebrate these days in a safe and healthy way.

I prefer the other Mulligan/Desmond album. I love this one: https://www.discogs.com/master/373333-The-Paul-Desmond-Quartet-Live and I think you will too it’s exactly that space you are probably meaning that makes it so good. The Take Five on this album is better than the original imho…

This made me think about 'the end' of the virus. If it keeps mutating but getting less dangerous but only more contageous..... Could it create it's own downfall that way? It made me also think about the possibility of scientists deliberately spreading a more contageous but less dangerous variant. But of course genetical manipulation is not without risk.... Anyway: I am hoping with you

So you're not talking about his classic records with Jim Hall on RCA are you? Less harmonic support than that?

Something to spin when you’re parents in law are visiting? not the most original choice I know but I never get tired of this record. Ella had a voice… nothing compares to that
