Gaudi architecture in a different perspective on "Barcelona" (Enja Records) ....

Exactly. 

The photo is very similar.  It's another view of the benches at Park Güell:

Also, I think those are the spires of the Sagrada Familia silhouetted on the right.  (Not certain though.)

Reviews were good. But no real radio play that I could tell. And I don't know how much as support Atlantic gave it.

A great record, but nothing crossover neither the music or the attitude. But that's ok, they kept him on the roster and let do that other stuff at his own pace.

Thanks, I’m guessing the ‘you must read the back of this album’ hype was Joel Dorn’s idea. It worked, as I remembered it for 50 years!

Did he play these a lot when you grew up? As in, were you already familiar with this great music as a kid?

Yes, the music seeped into us three kids. All now jazz fans. We loved the catchy stuff, Roland Kirk, Monk - Lulu’s back in town. After I got punk out of my system I returned to jazz and a deeper appreciation, I hope. Stick with it and in a few year’s time your  offspring will be whistling "The Ragman and the Junkman Ran from the Businessman They Laughed and He Cried"!

‘Sweet Blossom Dearie’,  live at Ronnie Scott’s, 1967, with Tubby’s old rhythm section, Freddy Logan and Allan Ganley. Beautifully recorded, Fontana, mono.

I don't have any of EH's original Vee-Jay albums, only this 2-LP compilation.

They're well worth looking for at sensible prices, especially if you can live with less than pristine conditions.

Same with his three Columbia records.

I'll keep an eye out for them. 

(I do have Here Comes the Judge on Columbia.)

Maybe prioritize these two?

Many thanks, Jim.  I will!

More Eddie Harris:

A terrific album.  That opening cut is relentlessly funky.  I like this album even better than Swiss Movement.

On deck for this afternoon -

Now spinning:

Maynard Ferguson & His Orchestra - A Message from Newport / Newport Suite (Roulette, 2 LPs)

The vinyl is wafer-thin, but the music still sounds good.

Those were all wafer thin vinyls!

Do you also have this one? It was my favorite of the Maynar EOAE releases:

Also wafer-thin vinyl.

Nope.  Guess I should track it down, eh?

 

[JSngry]

Indeed!

I got the Ferguson Mosaic (finally) but these 2-fers are a lot more convenient. Except for the first one (white cover) that was half Ferguson and half Herbie Mann. For some reason they only used cuts from the dance albums, which are good (enough), but the meat is on these four + a few others.

It was a good band with a good book. Willie Maiden, Slide Hampton, and Don Sebesky were the main writers, and then post-Roulette, Mike Abene cam in and did some good work,

Well, that other 2-fer sounds mighty tempting.  This fish is hooked.  😜 

Another item for the list!

Wendy Carlos - A Clockwork Orange (WB)

After this, we may play her Columbia LP of the same title, which has some repetition, but also full-length versions of some of the excerpts on the WB.

👍 - German issue by Bellaphon here [1972]

McCoy Tyner - Sama Layuca (Milestone)

Found this filed under T in my Exotica section.  At first I thought it was misfiled, as I probably have 15 Tyner LPs in the Jazz section.  After playing it, I think filing it under Exotica was a deliberate choice.
