No, separate indulgence but not wintery in the slightest

This is the Pat Martino for me. It's so heavy.

First listen, lots to chew on

It's like Black Sabbath or something. Happy chewing.

Thanks. I did plenty of Black Sabbath in my youth

I had no idea that existed. I see from Discogs that there's only two Hill tracks, are they solo?  How's the sound on it?

[jazzbo]

It's a wonky record with a different actual track listing on the record than on the sleeve. More here from Hartman than listed there. Hill's trio backs Johnny and the two Hill numbers without Johnny are trio. 

It's interesting. . . you can hear the roots of the Blue Note Hill here. . . but he's not playing in that manner overall. Sound is okay. Not great--not bad--mono.

 

Right now

Dizzy Gillespie Jam Montreux '77, Pablo LP

Bags! He makes the record for me.

Thanks for the lowdown, sounds intriguing

I don't know the music, but I like the cover. Well done by the designer. It has a 1970s, independant jazz label quality.

Credit where credit's due in that case, to Jaime Zuvera. According to the cover.  The label has quite a strong design aesthetic so maybe he does others for them too

Jazz Contemporaries - Reasons In Tonality [Strata East, 1972]

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Curtis Amy - Katanga! (Blue Note). The new Tone Poet version. Maybe I'm having a bad day, but I don't think this sounds any better than the CD versions (Connoisseur CD & Mosaic Select CD) I already have. I'm kinda wishing I'd saved my money for something else.

Interesting - yet the Hoffman Board is raving about it !  I’ve passed on that one as I have a Pacific Jazz original and the Conn CD, bases covered and more than happy with these. As I recall, the Conn CD sounds pretty good. Isn’t it also on the Amy Select? - need to check.

Totally agree.  So dark, almost "evil" -- like Bitches Brew.

Hadn't seen your quote, Rab, when I described it as "evil."  Obviously, we're hearing it similarly.

Those raves over there are why I bought it. I should have held off. Truth be told, I only bought it because Udiscovermusic.com had a 40% sale late last year. I ended up getting it for around $20. I wasn't even expecting to get it at all because that website's hit rate has been abysmal.

Now playing... Blue Mitchell - Step Lightly (Blue Note). I have the LT LP, not that overpriced LP from the fishing box with the scarf.

I can't believe what these LT LPs are going for these days.

Evil Bitches Brew is a better description than mine.

I file my jazz collection into "nice or Latin" and "evil" sections. Evil being anything that would ruin a dinner party conclusively (e.g. Brotzmann).

Can’t recall ever paying more than $10 for any of mine, still got them.

No interest whatsoever in the phishing box and happy with the version included in the Blue Mitchell Mosaic.

Very hip taxonomy.

Gerry Mulligan - LP2 of The Emarcy Sextet Recordings (Mosaic). This LP was originally released as "Mainstream of Jazz" (Emarcy MG 36101). I haven't spin this much since I bought it many years ago. I pretty much bought this by accident as the LP I thought was included here, "Butterfly With Hiccups" (actually on Limelight), was nowhere to be seen. Good accident on my part.

Edited to put in a much better image of the "cover" (man, were these LP set covers boring).

What fishing box? 

Yes, the Blue Notes are crazy now, even the 1970s-1980s represses. Damn kids. I remember buying the LT series not long ago at all, for $10 and even less. 

Freddie Hubbard - STRAIGHT LIFE,  wafer-thin LP, great sound.
