Sadik Hakim Trio: Witches, Goblins, etc. (Steeplechase)

Am I the only person that finds the "etc" in the title intriguing/redundant/lazy? They couldn't think of other otherworldly entities? or they didn't have space on the sleeve?

Blame Sadik Hakim. He titled the tune.

Howard McGhee: The Sharp Edge (Black Lion/Trio Japan)

(Couldn't find an image that matched the cover of my copy)

Some beautiful playing by Howard McGhee on this one.

[jeffcrom]

Roy Eldridge - Rockin' Chair (Verve). A beautiful, noiseless Japanese pressing.

Later: Just looked at an Eldridge discography to pin down the dates and personnel. There really weren't any records Roy made as a leader between 1962 and 1972? Wow - that's an absolute crime.

ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO - Art Ensemble Of Soweto

[jeffcrom]

Humphrey Lyttelton - Jazz at the Royal Festival Hall (UK Parlophone 10"). I no longer remember where I got this record, but I'm glad I found it. This 'Merican has a soft spot for the better European trad bands. They add their own flavor to the basic New Orleans style, and often have a more varied and interesting repertoire than American "dixieland" bands.

[Homefromtheforest]

Sun Ra "night of the purple moon" (intergalactic, USA)

Hans Reichel/Eroc "kino" (teldec, Germany)

David Durrah "angelic streams" (qpsm, USA)

Played that one thin when I was 17. One of my first records - 10" LP.

[jeffcrom]

Jim Hall - Jazz Guitar (PJ). The rough condition of my copy became easier to take when I learned that the original tapes are gone, and that subsequent issues had edited tracks and overdubbed drums.

This again.

PEPPER ADAMS - The Cool Sound Of Pepper Adams

Saw Humph in concert a couple of years before he passed on (the previous time I saw him was around 1976 when he had Bruce Turner, Kathy Stobart and Mike Pyne in the band). Had a nice chat with him at the interval about his radio show and the merits of Horace Silver (!) and he kindly signed one of his books for me. I was even able to put in a personal request to have some Horace played on his BBC radio show. A very nice person and hugely influential over the years on my jazz listening..

On the same theme, I'll dig this 10" on Parlophone out (Vic Lewis's old audition copy)

Has there ever been a more subtle and more inventive drummer in the history of jazz than Jo Jones?
