Ira Sullivan - Peace (Galaxy, 1979)

 

and

Ira Sullivan - Multimedia (Galaxy, 1982)

Both LPs from the same session with Joe Diorio (g), John Heard (b), Billy Higgins (d), and Kenneth Nash (perc).

R.I.P.

 

Those are both excellent. I don't believe these have been reissued on CD.

Yep. Terrific music that's never had a digital release.  Pairing them up would make a great 2-fer CD.  But that'll almost certainly never happen. 

The band assembled for those LPs is really exceptional.  I think Billy Higgins is the not-so-secret sauce.  But they all play fantastically well.  Also, I love the choice to NOT include a pianist on the date and use Diorio's guitar instead as the chordal instrument, à la Sonny Rollins & Jim Hall.

 

NP:

Don Patterson - Why Not ... (Muse, 1978)

I've recently spun a new purchase of this into the PC but no chance to listen yet.

I think you'll like it.  It's a bit more "chilled" than some Patterson dates.  But it's very enjoyable.

There were three Duke Ellington "The Brunswick Years" LPs on the (Swedish) Jazz Information labal (CAH 3001 to 3003) - reissued in 1989.

Yes,  both under-rated, although Kenny Clarke and Derek Humble are missed in the  lineup.

 

Just arrived - Live from the UCL Union. Remember seeing  some folk gigs there, no jazz though.

Haven't played Cecil's Leo records in a while.

Ron Carter - Foursight - Stockholm Live (In & Out Records). Beautiful-sounding records.

Yes, picked up a copy of that one too. Sounds superb - apart from some clicks on the run in on one side. Sadly, sold out now so can’t replace. Even so, wouldn’t want to be without it.

In addition to fine work by Ron as usual, I really like Renee Rosnes’ playing on this performance. The live atmosphere is also captured well.

In&Out tell me that they have an upcoming Ramon Valle Trio vinyl release with the same  treatment and signatures, which will be tempting.

Warne Marsh - Star Highs (Criss Cross). Although this is listed as a Warne Marsh date, it sometimes feels like a Hank Jones date. Hank plays very nicely on this.

[HutchFan]

Willis Jackson - West Africa (Muse, 1974)
with Ted Dunbar, Mickey Tucker, Bob Cranshaw, Freddie Waits, Richard Landrum & Sonny Morgan

Gator's version of the Bacharach & David song "A House Is Not a Home" on this LP ... Yowza!

 

If you'd like to hear for yourself ...

Picked up for a fiver in mint after getting my early morning RSD batch 2 items. A gem !

The ‘Redux’ 60th Anniversary 2LP edition. Looks like a Mark Wilder mastering, nice, big and crisp sound.  Side 4 has alternates which I don’t think are on the ‘Mosaic Complete Columbia’. 

Next up - 60s Scandinavian jam featuring Don Cherry on Gearbox. 45rpm.

I got also the Cherry 45rpm this morning.

[sidewinder]

Missed this one the first time round. A few annoying crackles, which seems to be a common complaint with this pressing/title.

But I am now listening to Joe Henderson at Village Vanguard Vol. 1 (Tone Poet, 2020). I enjoy it a lot. Superb.

I never ever had any chance with these Bill Evans Resonance records issued in RSDs... Too bad for the pressing.

[sidewinder]

I see in the alternative universe of the Hoffmann Forum that people are currently reporting paying 60 Euro to $100 Cdn in their stores for the Evans. About 1.5 times what the stores are charging here. Outrageous !

It’s just the occasional random ‘pop’, nothing major. The Mingus was pristine though.
