What eats the rabbits?

I love Nina (but she never knew) but .. I'm not sure but that her voice was particularly strong on this late record. YMMV It's on Spotify, you can decide for yourself

Just don't OD!!!!!

No wonder #4 sounded familiar!

Rufus Jones in drums. Bassist was either Victor Gaskin or Joe Benjamin.

And apparently regarded equally highly as an AP photographer!

Brownie was a great man. Back when we did Blindfold Tests with CDRs, he would take on the task of getting the discs to members in countries where US mail might or might not arrived on time (or at all...). He never failed. RIP and thank you for being that kind of a human. Large!

I'm more inclined to believe Discogs listing of 1968. World Pacific was then part of United Artists, but UA didn't become part of EMI/Capitol until about a decade or more later. All things considered it's a pretty trippy album, and so is the Lewis (thank you Charles Stepney). Good times, albeit quite niche!

I saw that band live. Indeed, splendid!

L.A. prophetically responded in 1968:

Compost was highly erratic but, hey, Harold Vick, and the occasional genuine groove. Jack got a full page article in DB to talk about the band. Columbia muscle in action, no doubt. He remained "eclectic" after moving to ECM, but before then he was ECLECTIC, if you know what I mean

That Davis trio of the early 50's with Floyd Smith and Chris Columbus seems to have been pretty popular in it's day. What I've been able to hear of them has certainly been fun! Hell, Duke carried him in the band for a little bit!

It is Mulligan, from California Concerts. It's a good record. Jon Eardley's on board and is plenty nimble! For example,; The IG LP was PJLP 1201, so I assume that it was the first Pacific Jazz 12".

All I had hoped for from the Jays was that they keep it interesting. Exceeding expectations!

And then there was Compost...

These guys!

Three organists on the Quebec date are Edgar Swanston, Sir Charles Thompson, and Earl Van Dyke. Swanston was an unknown to me, but research shows him to be a Harlem native. Sir Charles had long been a fixture in Harlem, and Van Dyke was a Detroiter who went on to become a Motown stalwart. So...roller rink or church? Like that man says, do the math! Ask Junior! Ballpark!!!
