What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Roscoe Mitchell - L-R-G / The Maze / S II Examples (Nessa, 1978)

My wife slept in this morning so I took the opportunity to introduce the kids to one of the classics. 

Findings:

Still a great record.

The toddler loves a boogie so much that she can find the rhythm in literally anything. How you can shake your thing to Leo Smith, Roscoe Mitchell and George Lewis playing with no discernable time structure at all bewilders me, but she managed to find the beat somehow.

The 3 year old has so little interest in music that he thought this was a Lenny White record that I had played the day before. Austere jazz-linked composition does just as well as any other kind of music.

2008 Souljazz issue. Sounds great and the music is out of this world. Theme de Yoyo could make every day a happy one, even a boring grey Sunday afternoon in January. I do wonder if they paid their dues to Nessa records @Chuck Nessa Nessa records isnt mentioned anywhere.

Mr Nessa tells that story somewhere on the board, I'm sure. He ended up with a consignment to sell as payment iirc

Original recordings were done in Paris by Pathé Marconi, licensed in the US by Nessa Records. I believe EMI still holds the rights but I am sure Chuck could fill in the details (and has elsewhere on the board).

Williams still very active at Smalls. I frequently see him on their live stream on YouTube. It's obvious he carries a great reputation. Playing nowadays with the next generation of Farnsworth and Alexander. (But they themselves are now seen as the older generation by such people as Emmet Cohen and Benny Benack III.) The music marches on!

Must have seen David Williams at least 10 times with Cedar Walton - and most of those with Billy Higgins !

Now up - 

Stereo green label deep groove.

John Lindberg Trio - Give and Take (Black Saint, 1982)

Forgot just how meaty and bouncy this one is. For once, it's not just down to George Lewis. A real trio record.

I think around the late 70´s there was a recently recorded album of them and it was titled something like "Young at Heart" , which I didn´t purchase then. But in the "bop category" of my listening preferences" there is a lot of good McGhee from the late 40´s and I really heard that most of all boppers you could here the roots of Roy Eldridge. And his playing on those legendary Latin Session with Machito is some of the very best trumpet of that time. 

Otherwise I don´t know almost nothing about his later activities. He might have had a short comeback in the mid 60´s since I have a nice little Sonny Stitt album on Black Lion, titled "Night Work", and I saw him on a video of a Charlie Parker memorial concert with J.J, Johnson, Sonny Stitt, Walter Bishop, Tommy Potter and Klook. 

But nothing from later. I heard he died in the 80´s and that his son Boots has or had a homepage on which he showed some rare photos of his famous father.

I think he recorded for Storyville (or was it Sonet?) in the 70s but it was a brief comeback.

Arrived in the mail a moment ago:

Mongo Santamaria - Dawn (Amanecer) (Vaya, 1977)

I just gave the dusty platter a few spins on my record-cleaning machine -- and the music sounds great.

Referring to Howard McGhee: 

Yes, maybe. I never saw him live. 
And I don´t know how he might have sounded at that late stage of his often interrupted career. 
I only noticed, that on the Charlie Parker Memorial on Video (I think it was done in London), which was in the Mid-60´s, he looks a bit worn out, and his chops seem to be a bit "rusty". Nothing left from the incredible fast runs and high notes he did in the 40´s. 
So I was not really curious to buy those late albums when they were probably around.....
The last sign of McGhee I read was a short time after that brief "comeback". It was an announcement in Down Beat, they tried to raise funds for Howard McGhee, who had some vascular problems I think. I don´t know if his son was with him when he died.....

John Tchicai - Cadentia Nova Danica [Polydor, UK 1968]

such engrossing music that cuts through the slightly distant live sound. Must have been great to have been in attendance.

If you're enjoying that LP, you might want to check out Jones' next album, Hill Country Suite (Enja, 1974).  I think it's even better.  

Is that so? I will look for it. I became an instant fan. What a tone on the instrument! Fluid sound!
