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.

Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy - Sempre Amore

[mjazzg]

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.

That's interesting. 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

Saw Collier with Dave Burrell, William Parker, and William Hooker. To say he/they were taking it "there" would be an understatement.

Nice 2-LP compilation of Farmer's Prestige sides, 1953 - 55.

Now spinning LP 1.  Up next: LP 2.

Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy - Sempre Amore

Perhaps the loveliest album of the many Waldron-Lacy releases.

Beautiful .... like all Waldron/Lacy  recordings ....

[Teasing the Korean]

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."

Herbie Mann - The Wailing Dervishes (Atlantic, stereo)

A companion album to Impressions of the Middle East from the same period.

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.

Do you have his early/mid-70s album with "The World is a Ghetto?"
