David Murray trio - The Hill [Black Saint, Italy 1988]

a post by @ghost of mileselsewhere reminded me about this LP.  Murray was one of my entry points to Jazz and I hoovered up the the Black Saints. This takes me back.

Richard Davis + Joe Chambers rule ....

I bought it in the 70´s, I don´t have many of that silver cover series, maybe "Ornette Coleman´s Free Jazz" and "Mingus Blues and Roots", and for more easy listening the then very popular "Les McCann Eddie Harris Montreux 1969". 
At that time I  was astonished that "Avantgarde" was quite traditional, it´s all straight ahead swing, and they don´t really go "far out". But this was still in 1960, when there was still a lot of the old hard bop. But they all sound wonderful, "The Blessing" is one of the most traditional compositions of Coleman, also a very interesting version of it is on the 1958 Hillcrest Club recording, sometimes released under the leadership of Paul Bley, though he is barely audible on those. 
Both Trane and Cherry loved "Bemsha Swing". Trane played it with Monk, and Don recorded it on several occasions....

They get really sticky and worn. Not a big fan, although I've picked some up. They sound fine, at least.

I recall vacuuming up Murray and other Soul Note/Black Saint LPs for £2 from Fopp. These introduced me to the likes of Roscoe Mitchell, Frank Lowe etc

Helen Merrill with the Gary Peacock Trio - Sposin' [Storyville, Denmark 1971]

first listen to this, stunning. My introduction to Merrill but purchased primarily because of Peacock and his Japanese trio

Thanks I'll see if I can find that streaming somewhere. Did she do any other dates that went a bit out like the Peacock one do you know?

There are two cuts from the Lewis/Merrill LP that you can stream on my 70s jazz blog: https://jazzinthe70s.blogspot.com/2020/07/john-lewis-helen-merill-john-lewis.html

I'm not aware of any other Merrill albums like that date with Peacock.  But I don't know her discography comprehensively.
