I got also the Cherry 45rpm this morning.

The sonics are excellent at 45rpm - and the music is a winner too. A find !

Much more of a straight-ahead hard bop session than expected from Don Cherry.

That and their previous are some of my favourites on Clean Feed. Incredible cover art.

Now this:

[HutchFan]

Listen to the Blues with Jimmy Rushing (Jazztone, 1956)
The cover says "with Pete Johnson and Band" -- and it's an amazing band.  Aside from Johnson, the rhythm section consists of Freddie Green, Walter Page, and Jo Jones.  On the front line you've got Emmett Berry, Rudy Powell, Buddy Tate, and Lawrence Brown.  And Rushing soars over them all.

This music feels as vital and fresh as the day it was made.

More "Mr. 5 x 5"!

The Jazz Odyssey of James Rushing, Esq. (Columbia, 1957)

Thanks, kh158, for prompting me to pull these LPs out with your post above.  I hadn't listened to Jimmy Rushing in a while.  A terrible oversight on my part!

Trying to decide if I want to spring for the Super Deluxe Edition that recently came out. The OG vinyl has always sounded so good to me, I want to justify the purchase but can't convince myself. The CD version I have is adequate but sounds slammed to me, unlike the vinyl which makes sense given the "newness" of cds at the time. Also trying to decide if I want to get Emancipation on vinyl given my affection for that album (strangely I know but probably my favorite Prince album) but never being happy with the cds sound.

Today...

The Vinny Golia Large Ensemble - Facts Of Their Own Lives [Nine Winds] limbering up for the imminent arrival of the 3LP set

Beaver Harris 360 Degree Experience - A Well Kept Secret [Shemp]

Barefield/Holland/Tabbal Trio - Transdimensional Space Window [Trans African Records]  It's a lot better than the cover suggests.

Anteloper - Tour Beats, volume 1 [International Anthem]

Joshua Abrams - Magnetoception [Eremite] not noticed previously that this isn't credited to The Natural Information Society, only the latter ones in the series are. but what a series and band/concept.

I actually love the trippy cover on the Barefield LP, but the music is great too.

[HutchFan]

NP:

Charlie Mariano - Crystal Bells (CMP, 1980)
with keyboardist Stu Goldberg and the Stone Alliance rhythm section: Gene Perla and Don Alias

Excellent.

[HutchFan]

Delightful solo piano.  Most of the music has a ruminative, "after hours" vibe -- like he's playing for himself, rather than an audience.

And note the album cover photo. It seems to capture McShann at a moment when his glance is turned inward.

Image and music in perfect alignment.

[HutchFan]

Now spinning:

Jimmy Forrest - Heart of the Forrest (Palo Alto Jazz, 1982)
with Shirley Scott (org) and Randy Marsh (d)

 

[HutchFan]

NP a recent dollar-bin find:

Mongo Santamaria - Soul Bag (Columbia, 1968)
featured soloists: Sonny Fortune (as, bs); Hubert Laws (ts, fl); Luis Gasca (tr)

Mongo's version of JB's "Cold Sweat" is off the chain.  Mongo and Pretty Purdie get down!

Great ! This could have been recorded About the same period when I was lucky to see Jay McShann live. As much as I remember he was booked with a local Rhythm Section, and at one certain Moment in the last set the female singer Etta Scollo (from Sicilia) sat in for one song…...
