What vinyl are you spinning right now??

NoBuisness released an excellent 2xCD that has the Anima date New York Collage paired with an unreleased session. Highly recommended.

Sweet Space and Untitled Gift are both great as well. Frank Lowe on the former, Don Cherry on the latter. They were released as a CD set in 2004, but you'd be better off searching for the original LPs as that one is very hard to come by. 

Oh! I actually own Sweet Space. That's a very good record. I hadn't realised it was on Anima.

Now spinning this new-to-my-collection LP:

Eddie Palmieri - Superimposition (Tico, 1970)

I ordered this LP -- a VG/VG copy -- from one of my "go to" Discogs retailers at a (relatively) low price.  VG is one of those grades that's "iffy"; LPs with that grade can sound fine or they can sound terrible.  So I just gave the disc a good scrubbing and a couple spins on the Record Doctor.  I'm listening to it now, and it sounds fantastic!  No Rice Krispies!!!  Not "perfect" -- but perfectly listenable.  

As for the music, it's TREMENDOUS.  And this is one of those recordings for which vinyl is especially appropriate. The A side features Palmieri in a more traditional "Salsa" (for lack of a better term) mode, and the B side consists of more open-ended, "Latin Jazz" explorations.  It's like the two sides of the album represent two different -- but interrelated -- aspects of Palmieri's musical personality. 

I caught a plum.

Well done.
 

A really incredible album that I’ve et to find in the wild.

Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, LSO - Promises [Luaka Bop, 2021]

I know this splits opinion, especially amongst the Jazz cognoscenti, but it works for me every time. Definitely not a Jazz album though.

Just listened to the Abdul-Malik track from 'Live in Rio' which is the only one I could find online, predictably marvellous. The Discogs entry for the album is confusing as to who plays with whom.  Am I correct in thinking it's a different band for each track?

Yes, except the rhythm section is the same throughout: Ronnie Ball, Ben Tucker, David (?) Bailey (Donald Bailey?).

Aside from the fantastic Abdul-Malik featured track: Red Door has Zims and Cohn; Lover Man features Herbie Mann; It's All Right with Me features Curtis Fuller; Autumn Leaves features Kenny Dorham, and Wee Dot has Mann, Dorham, Fuller and Sims.

The Vogue LP I have appears to be a German pressing. The Notes say it is originally recorded by Roulette.

Thanks for explaining it all.  I'm almost tempted just for the Abdul-Malik track alone

Works for me too!!

Gato Barbieri - Apasionado (Doctor Jazz, 1983)

This isn't one of Gato's best LPs -- but I still dig it.

That track is wonderful, but in addition, Kenny Dorham and Curtis Fuller are also in top form in their features.

Thanks again.  I've found a UK copy of the same edition as yours, I'll probably order that one

Now LP.3 'Back To The Tracks', having been through 'True Blue' LP.2.  So far the seller's grade of NM is standing up, fingers crossed that continues.
