Ms. TTK and I are alternating vinyl choices today. She picked this one. Nice choice from Ms TTK. 8 hours ago, mjazzg said: 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.

Liberated from the Stereo Jack's jazz dollar bin in the 1990s. I was very surprised that it included Keith Mansfield's "Powerhouse Pop," albeit under a different title.

It one of the few that I don't have. What do you think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JSngry Posted Tuesday at 12:43 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:43 AM 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!

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?

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Now spinning: 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: More outtakes from the same So in Love sessions, but this time with the NY-based ensemble: Hank Jones, Ron Carter, and Al Foster.

HutchFan Posted 49 minutes ago Report Share Posted 49 minutes ago Next up: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
