How is the Jack Marshall side?  I love his Capitol albums Soundsville and 18th Century Jazz.  I think I have a Bossa album by him on Capitol also.  

Looking back from today its mainstream West Coast style with good solos by Shank and Candoli. Similar sounds probably Marty Paich groups, dektetts.

These Tolliver Pure Pleasures are the ‘bee’s knees’.

Hmm.  I've been pondering whether I should plunk for Tolliver's Live at the Loosdrecht Jazz Festival.  It's a two-LP set, so it's even more costly than Pure Pleasure's regular prices.  Do you have that one, sidewinder?

I also noticed that PP is reissuing Cecil McBee's Music from the Source.  Another disc that's VERY tempting.  I'm sure the PP reissue would flog my Inner City vinyl AQ-wise.

I’m pondering an order for ‘Loosdrecht’. Been kicking myself for years since I sold my Black Lion to Mole Jazz for peanuts. I thought at the time it was erratic but I was very wrong.

Just noticed that McBee in the forthcoming releases bit of the PP site as well. I could spend a fortune on there !

Loosdrecht is worth it if only for the stretched out version of "Repetition".

Yeah, that was the track that stood out for me.

This arrived yesterday. Very good recorded sound, faultless pressing. Nice to hear Brubeck, Wright, and Morello stretch out. I wish Brubeck would have embarked on a  trio adventure, if only for a few years. They do very unexpected things with the standards here. 

Then, some more items from the crate an old friend hauled over a few weeks ago:

Technical drums display - Earl Hines plays a bit of piano. The sound is stunningly natural and good, as always on RealTime recordings.

Just what you'd expect ....

Was Paul hungover, shacked up, or "got lost" or just what, that this was a trio?

What was the gig, anyway? Looks like they were on the bill with Duke?

What's weird about this trio recording is that the next day, the quartet recorded "The Last Time We Saw Paris", so it's not like Desmond was somewhere else... unless Desmond headed to Paris a day early.

They had been playing in Hamburg, and Desmond met his old friend Herb Geller and they got lost on the Reeperbahn. Desmond was drinking too much and did not show up for the flight to Vienna. He caught the plane to Paris to join them two days later. 

Earlier discussion here.

Yes, it's a pity that Brubeck's Trio activities were rather limited ....

With a rare and seldom seen Don Ellis composition " 33 222 1 222" (whatever that means)

That's the rhythm of the tune, counted Indian style - the numbers say how many pulses/sixteenth notes are for each beat.

I just ordered a NM copy from a discogs seller for $12. Looking forward to hearing it.

My copy just came in today. Great shape and it plays very clean. Bass is a bit on the weaker side, typical of the era. Great music though. Thanks for recommending this. It took a while, but I finally got the chance to hear it tonight.

Probably notated in 19/8?

Might it have been recorded under another name here?

Thanks. I know that sometimes he used odd metres. There is another title of a viny witch such a metre.

Two of several obscure LPs that I found yesterday in a local store.

Interesting finds, Ken.  Playing "Pot Luck" with obscurities is always fun.

I've never even heard of Ralph Gari.  Sound good?

I know, bloody hipsters listening to Jazz, it was all so much easier 20 years ago.  I assume it's up to standard?

On the basis of side 1 track 1, sounds pretty good, nice and crisp. I have a good original so will check against it at some stage. Certainly trounces the BGO CD, fine release though that was.

One thing I like from this issue is that the fine rhythm section interplay with Holland, McLaughlin and co. comes through nice and clearly. 

Next stop - Le Dejeuner Sur LHerbe..
