What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Teasing the Korean]

The Barclay Singers - Paris Sings - Kapp 4 Corners (stereo)

Edited September 5, 2021 by Teasing the Korean

[Teasing the Korean]

Mulatu & his Ethiopian Quintet - Afro-Latin Soul (Worthy, stereo)

Can I be annoyed that the bass player is not flatting the second to fit the harmonies, or am I imposing my western expectations on this recording?

Not to mention, John Handy, Dave Holland,  Charles Lloyd, Aakash Mittal, and Sameer Gupta. And there's: https://brooklynragamassive.bandcamp.com

Did these players actually mix jazz with Indian rhythmic and improvisatory concepts, or were they just adding a sitar to mix? What are the records I’m missing?

There's still a few artists mining that vein.  Rez Abbasi and Rudresh Mahanthappa come to mind.

Mr Mahanthappa I know, and there’s a nice example of full integration of ideas. Where should I start with Rez Abbasi?

The Latin Jazz All-Stars - Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat (Crown, stereo)

One of the greatest albums ever made.  

I like that. Always think of it as a Buddy Collette album, even though it does say Latin Jazz All Stars in small letters on the back cover.

I picked up the RSD release and am finally getting around to spinning it.

Sun Ra, Hiroshima/Stars that Shine Darkly (El Saturn). 

Sun Ra, Nothing Is (ESP DISK, Italian pressing)

The Sun Ra ESP was the first Sun Ra I had. I bought it together with a batch of other records from a young woman who moved to South America and sold all her stuff, among this a huge collection of jazz, mostly avantgarde and electric Miles early 70´s. 

So my "Nothing Is" was my first impression of Sun Ra and I liked it from the first moment on. Later, just for not wearing out my old LP I also bought it on CD (mini LP cover), since I listen quite often to it. My personal listening experience of it is that I always listen to it at dark with all lights off. I´ve kept this listening in the dark  for 45 years now....(referring to this LP! )

The Sun Ra I heard in the late 70´s was more traditional, his own act of space free jazz mixed with some bop and swing standards....

The original vinyl lists Buddy Collette along with the other musicians, but his name is not featured any more prominently than anyone else's.

Nothing Is was also my first Sun Ra LP, in school in Austin at the time. That first side, and John Gilmore on Dancing Shadows, started me on the Sun Ra path. The guys at the record store had seen Sun Ra at some legendary performance at the Armadillo World Headquarters, as I recall.

Mr Mahanthappa I know, and there’s a nice example of full integration of ideas. Where should I start with Rez Abbasi?

John Handy's jazz-Indian music fusions are perhaps the most successful-- Karuna Supreme (MPS) and Rainbow (MPS).

Dave Holland played a concert in Dallas in 2017 with a group of mixed jazz and Indian classical musicians that was fantastic--I don't think the group has recorded. There is  Good Hope, a scaled down trio version, but with only Chris Potter and Zakir Hussain.

Aakash Mittal is an alto saxophonist playing in the same vein as Rudresh Mahanthappa that I heard at the Ragas Live Festival a few years ago in a trio with Rez Abassi on guitar.

Sameer Gupta, who I heard at the same festival, is a percussionist with Marc Cary, who combines jazz and Indian music in his own recordings.

There's also a John Mayer recording of more recent vintage (1996) that is quite good.  https://smile.amazon.com/John-Mayers-Indo-Fusions-1997-01-01/dp/B01K8QOISU/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=John+Mayer%27s+Indo+Jazz+Fusions&qid=1630943091&s=music&sr=1-3

I love the blues so just on the title alone, I was really looking forward to hearing this when I found a used LP at Stereo Jacks. I was very disappointed.

In contrast, I enjoyed it. Maybe Wild Bill isn’t to everyone’s taste and the playing time is a bit short. UK Verve mono sound quality on my copy is good though.

Roy Ayers - Virgo Vibes [Atlantic, 1967 mono]

been after a nice copy of this for a while, arrived this morning. Can't help but think that if this had been released on BN it would be much more well known.  What a line-up.

[mjazzg]

Eric Kloss - In The Land Of The Giants [Prestige, 1973 RP]

Eric Kloss - Love And All That Jazz [Prestige, 1966 mono]

One of my favourite covers.  I prefer Kloss's organ recordings.  Listening inspired by BFT 210
