These two LPs both derive from one 1976 recording session.  

IMO, no. 2 is better than no. 3 -- but they're both good fun.   Jaws, CT, and Al Grey sound inspired.

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.

Do you know the other Buddy Collette Latin album on Crown called Bongo Madness by Don Ralke?

No. I'd have noticed the name Don Ralke because he arranged 'Jennie Lee' by Jan & Arnie, which was THE anarchic Mr Bass Man recording. And if I'd seen it, I'd have snapped it up to see if this was wildly anarchic. Bet it isn't

Ralke later did The Savage and the Senuous Bongos for WB, and he did the arrangements for William Shatner's The Transformed Man, which I think is an absolutely brilliant album despited its irony hipster red.

I feel like there's an infinite pool of great Grant Green albums.

Indeed, and a great balm for the troubles of the world they are too.  I need to dive into the pool more often.  I particularly like his recordings with Larry Young whoever's the leader.

Now spinning:

Oliver Lake - Gallery (Gramavision, 1986)
with Geri Allen, Fred Hopkins, Pheeroan Aklaff, and (on one cut) Rasul Siddik

Outstanding.

Yes, I read your blog about it, thanks.

I'd discovered Jefferson through the fabulous Choir album reissued by Sam Records so was looking for others by him. BH's presence sealed the deal on this one.  Nice session, LP's a bit battered but we'll get along together I think.

I have that Lake somewhere too, many moons since I've had it on the TT though

I’m enjoying him on Big John Patton’s Got A Good Thing Goin’ On right now. I don’t want to exaggerate, but it just might be the greatest human artistic endeavour of all time.

It's a good one, isn't it?!

Listening to Sides C & D, originally released as ...

Listening again to Bongo Madness.  It is for the most part more minimalist, moody, and abstract than Jazz Heat Bongo Beat.  It is kind of similar to Sabu's Sorcery and Safari albums.  Buddy does a lot of extended solos over hypnotic patterns.

I remember when I stumbled across that album at a store in south Florida.  About $20, VG+, Liberty issue. Had no idea if it was a fair price but at that time I considered $20-25 an OK price for things I knew I really wanted, and no doubt this qualified.  It was definitely long before internet shopping or discogs took over so much of my purchases.

Another interesting female voice with a personal touch (probably not for every vocal fan)
is Astrud Gilberto

Friedholm Schönfeld - s/t [Amiga, GDR 1978]

First listen, interesting

[HutchFan]

Now spinning:

Eddie Palmieri - Timeless: Live Recording (Coco, 1981)

 

[HutchFan]

Next up:

Art Pepper - One September Afternoon (Galaxy, 1981)

 

[HutchFan]

Now:

Johnny Hodges - Previously Unreleased Recordings (Verve, 1974)
with Barry Galbraith (g), Lalo Schifrin (p), George Duvivier (b), and Dave Bailey (d); recorded in 1963

Since he's the sole horn on this LP, Hodges' sound is very prominent.  Very nice... and a bit unusual too.  In fact, the only other Hodges record that I can think of with this exact instrumentation is Stride Right with Earl Hines.
