Dub Modal

Can’t tell if this is a pick axe or a pick mattock but damned if the mattock ain’t one of my favorite yard tools. The heavier the better.

1 - I didn’t make the Otis connection but will have to listen to these songs back to back now. It’s not Blythe but glad you dug this. 3 - Yes! Tim Berne it is but it’s not his leader date. You’ve given this track the only compliment so far. 4 - Thom nailed this one. It’s from Hank Mobley’s The Flip 5 - Yep, Steve Lacy 5! 6 - Not Joe or McCoy. Knotty is a good description. 7 - Another guess for Blackwell but it’s not him. The answer here will surprise I’m thinking 8 - Ehrlich was just guessed correctly above on bass clarinet. Not his date though. 9 - Augustus Pablo it is! Nice work and I enjoyed reading your impressions of these songs. I’m not expecting many to be familiar with the band behind the first track but I like that the reception has been mostly positive.

It's Ehrlich 👍

Tokyo '63 show. Interesting. I've never heard it. Is it the same as this set?

Great listening session today while working. There are a few clunkers but overall very enjoyable. Mistral isn't streaming, only via needle drop video. Wild who's on this record: Art Pepper, Peter Erskine, Stanley Clarke, George Cables, Phil Ranelin et. al.

That Soul Experiment LP went awry. Moving on to:

Yeah, for the most part. I've neglected this era for Hubbard for whatever reason. Keeping it going: Not relating to these albums I've posted, but I noticed that the track The Melting Pot from Hubbard's Blue Spirits is not streaming. It's blacked out on that album and any other digital comp where it's included. Wonder why that is?

Yes, it's one of them. A hint is that this isn't their leader date.

Follows Bundle of Joy really well.

More Hubbard. Why not?

Some Hubbard this AM.

I'll throw in Bennie Maupin as well. I think someone had Carter on bass clarinet in a prior BFT that was well received.

No worries man just wanted to make sure 👍

Thanks for updating this thread as I missed it first time around. Just added a ton of Japanese jazz and BBE releases to the queue.

Well, leaving Boston and regrettably didn't get a chance to go by Stereo Jack's. My friend who actually lives just down the road from the shop came down with covid so I didn't venture out to Somerville. Next time... Can confirm weed is in the air everywhere. Except Chinatown for some reason. If you find yourself there anytime soon, hit up the Taiwan Cafe for an oyster omelet. Just like Taipei and that's a damn rarity.

I'm guessing the Patton album labeled Blue Soul is actually Blue John with Tommy T & George Braithwaite? Or is it a different one?

Just list em all 😄

Hemphill and Joe McPhee And if not them then how about Sonny Fortune?

I've been listening to more of his music and that's definitely something I've picked up on.

Yeah, I read that. Wild stuff. He personally posted that he was having a heart attack. Glad he's in good hands

Cheers! I'm up in Boston at the moment so dealing with the same weather although better today than yesterday which I think was a record low here. 2 - Not European but I'll give you Braxton as the horn man. 4 - Nailed it. I really like Dizzy's solo here. 5 - Lacy 5 indeed! 6 - Not White, and negative on the other names. And @felser its not Killgo or Toney either. 7 - Not Blackwell, and indeed not Cherry. The answer here will surprise some folks. 8 - Not Belanger but glad to hear some positive takes on this song. It's a burner. 9 - Melodica, yes! The player was world famous in his day (still is, but since he passed has gone on to legend), especially in Japan. This is a deep cut from his catalog. Thanks for sharing thoughts as well.

Actually, if I read this right it's Workman and not Garrison. Workman is on some of the VV stuff too but this one is all him.

NPR didn't mention it but the Guardian did.

Only non-studio recording of Africa and it's 23 mins. That's enough for me to make this an order.

Hope the punt is rewarded 👍 I'm definitely stoked to listen to this.
