Pim Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Very happy with this reissue. My 80’s OJC copy sounded great but had a huge scratch that was very audible. This remains a ‘60’s jazz classic and definitely Mal’s best pre-breakdown record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Isaiah Collier & The Chosen Few - The Almighty [Division 81 Records, USA 2024] I think Collier has something about his playing that sets him apart from his contemporaries, the more I hear him, the more I think this. It's all within a very definite tradition but it sounds fresher in his hands tahn others. The Chosen Few are maturing nicely too I think.

I've seen him live with Kahil El'Zabar and I wasn't so too impressed, but I'm happy to hear that he is moving in a more interesting direction. I'll give this a go.

Which is in itself interesting as I saw him with El'Zabar too, at Ronnies and was very impressed but he wasn't playing in full-on mode which he is here. This isn't any major diversion from the Church Of Trane path he's been walking but it's more focussed and developed than earlier & Chosen Few albums that I thought were both slavish and sprawling, this is less of both to my ears. The interesting but not wholly successful diversion was his 'Parallel Universe' album. Now onto, just as everyone else has Mal Waldron - The Quest [New Jazz, USA 1962, possibly 1963 RE] Edited September 29 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Saw Collier with Dave Burrell, William Parker, and William Hooker. To say he/they were taking it "there" would be an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Nice 2-LP compilation of Farmer's Prestige sides, 1953 - 55. Now spinning LP 1. Up next: LP 2. 3 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy - Sempre Amore Perhaps the loveliest album of the many Waldron-Lacy releases.

Teasing the Korean Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 (edited) Roy Ayers - Ubiquity (Polydor, reissue) This is a great pressing. Usually, contemporary vinyl I've come across has very harsh treble. This is nicely rounded. I like that you can sing certain lines from "The Raven" to lines in "Pretty Brown Skin:" Ah, distinctly I remember/It was in the bleak December... EDIT: This album also has a very nice version of one of my least favorite Bacharach tunes, "Raindrops."

HutchFan Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 I've been spinning a couple LPs that James Moody made for Vanguard in the late-70s: and Neither of these are top-tier Moody albums. Even so, I dig his playing so much that I'm thoroughly enjoying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 (edited) Maynard Ferguson - MF Horn (Columbia) With the fantastic "Chala Nata." Ms. TTK and I are alternating vinyl choices today. She picked this one. Edited September 29 by Teasing the Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
