Yes, a wonderful set, I just finished it. Along with

Capurange and Tangerine are my favourite Prestige albums of Gordon from that period in the early 70´s. It was somehow a strange time, acoustic jazz like that was disappearing for quite some years, I always thought the great era of Prestige was the 50´s.

Joe Harriott & John Mayer - Indo-Jazz Suite [Columbia UK, mono 1966]

first listen to one of today's new arrivals. Good to find a nice and clean copy.

New arrival no.2

Kahil El'Zabar - America The Beautiful [Spiritmuse Records, 2020]

I'm not sure El'Zabar gets the notice of other AACM and Chicago musicians but this just drips that Chicago sound and is a lovely album. If 'How Can We Mend A broken Heart' isn't a tribute, subliminal or intentional, to Lester Bowie then I'm deaf.

Yes, pleased so far. Now onto this

Kahil El'Zabar - Spirit House [Spiritmuse, 2020]

I saw El'Zabar and David Murray, who features on this, play a fantastic duet in the then newly opened Jazz Café. No licence, so only coffee, and only temporary heating but they raised the temperature. So this is a nostalgia purchase as much as anything.

Well, on first listen I'd agree with that I think.  Obviously the sound isn't studio quality but hearing ALS played with this expanded band is fascinating.  This is no straight run through of the studio album that's for sure. 

Now for something a bit different

 

Nubya Garcia - Source + We Move [Concord Jazz]

[porcy62]

Music Matters 45rpm

[kh1958]

Cal Tjader, Ritmo Caliente (Fantasy)

Pat Metheny, Bright Size Life (ECM)

The Great Blues Singers (Riverside)

Anthony Braxton - In The Tradition [Steeplechase, 1974]

Jacque Coursil - Black Suite [BYG France, 1971]

such a great record, not played nearly enough in this household.

Gunter Hampel - the 8th July 1969 [Flying Dutchman, 1970]

another Braxton sideman date

I reviewed the original album (it was on a Dutch label, Birth) for Down Beat at the time and I think gave it five stars. Maybe 40 years later I got an email and a cassette of Hampel and Willem Breuker's music from the album's bassist Arjen Gortner, who remembered the review.

Nice story. Sounded five stars today too. Birth is Hampel's own label.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, I have the original Birth pressing somewhere around here. Great record. Haven't listened to it in a long time.
