Maynard Ferguson - MF Horn (Columbia)

With the fantastic "Chala Nata."

Ms. TTK and I are alternating vinyl choices today.  She picked this one.

Nice choice from Ms TTK.

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.

I assume I saw him later that day, then. It was a great gig, maybe my favourite at Ronnie's for a while, but he was the weaker link. He definitely looked the part, and played up to it, down to the shades and the toothpick hanging out of the corner of his mouth. 

I missed parallel universe. I'll give that a go too.

Nope.  It one of the few that I don't have.

What do you think of it?

About 15 or 20 years ago, I digitized 3 of the tracks for a comp I was curating. These included "Ghetto," "Good Sense Humor Man," and "First Thing in the Morning."  These three have more or less funk grooves. IIRC, the tunes I did not digitize were more swinging and straight ahead.  Because I have mostly listened to the other three on the comp, I know those well, but I'm less familiar with the others.  It sounds like this album was designed to appeal to multiple audiences, maybe not unusual for a jazz album of this era by someone of Moody's generation.

Sounds like I should give it a listen.  :tup

It was released on Paula and produced (on spec, as I understand it) by Paul Serrano + Richard Evans.

Stan Lewis had a longstanding pipeline to and from Chicago, and Serrano placed several of these tapes with Paula.

The Moody record was a lot better than I had expected!

Ken, I didn't realize that LP had been issued on Muse.  I have the album too -- it's terrific! -- but it's on the Palo Alto Jazz label (with a different cover).

Did Muse reissue it when PAJ went belly-up?

Roscoe Mitchell - Nonaah

PXL_20240817_081836469.jpg

I bought my four year old some sort of toy shawm on the weekend, because I enjoy misery. The six year old picked it up this morning and started to play "you know, the song that Roscoe Mitchell played again and again in front of those people". I have no memory of telling him that story but I presume that I did last time I spun it, back when I posted this record and, of all the things, it seems to have sunk in.

Not sure why the three times table isn't...

All grist for the therapist in later life.

Now spinning:

Ni01MjY2LmpwZWc.jpeg

Art Pepper - Artworks (Galaxy, 1984)
This album consists of outtakes from the 1979 sessions that yielded So in Love on the Artists House label.  This LP features the West Coast ensemble: George Cables, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins.

 

Coming up next:

LTY1MTguanBlZw.jpeg

More outtakes from the same So in Love sessions, but this time with the NY-based ensemble: Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Al Foster.

James Moody - Heritage Hum (Perception, 1971)

Lovely & soulful.  Moody in a lyrical groove.  Lots of flute.  The overall vibe is different -- but I'd rate this LP right up there with Never Again!   In other words: This is more Top Shelf stuff.

Randomly pulled from the shelf:

Ni03Mzc1LmpwZWc.jpeg

Various Artists - Leonard Feather's Encyclopedia Of Jazz - Jazz of the '60's, Vol. #1: Giants of the Saxophones (Vee Jay, 1964)

This fun sampler is a dollar bin find that I ran across a few years ago.

I don't have that massive Art Pepper box, but -- over the years -- I've collected most of his Galaxy stuff on individual CDs and/or LPs.  :)
