[Homefromtheforest]

Masahiko Sato "penetration" (express, japan)

Masabumi Kikuchi/Sadao Watanabe "collaboration" (Philips, Japan)

Thelonious Monk "mulligan meets monk" (riverside stereo, USA)

[Leeway]

Uncommon trumpet-bass-drums trio with Ted Curson, Ray Drummond, and Roy Haynes. Interplay LP 1979.

[paul secor]

Randy Weston: Berkshire Blues (Arista Freedom)

The most unique performance of "Perdido" that I can recall hearing.

Ralph Sutton w/ Ruby Braff - On Sunnie's Side of the Street (Blue Angel Jazz Club)

[uli]

and The One and Only

Marshal Royal - Royal Blue (Concord)

[Clunky]

John Mayall Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton- ( UK ) mono edition of the Beano.

Sounds much more listenable than the stereo 2LP Dutch edition. I wonder what the engineer was doing during this session as it's largely recorded in the red. Super hot.

Von Freeman: Doin' It Right Now (Atlantic)

[mjazzg]

New Dalta Ahkri - Reflectativity [Kabell]

today's arrival....sounding lovely, very pleased

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Wilson Pickett - It's too late - Double L (Marble Arch UK)

MG

[jeffcrom]

Art Ensemble of Chicago - The Paris Session (Arista Freedom)

[paul secor]

[Leeway]

Carla Bley Band: European Tour 1977 (Watt)

[Leeway]

Carla Bley Band: European Tour 1977 (Watt)

That was quite a group, including Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean, Andrew Cyrille, and Roswell Rudd. I think I've read that the group was not very happy with Ms. Bley.

Miles Davis - Big Fun (Columbia). I have all the metal-spine box sets, but I kept this double LP because the originally-issued edit of "Go Ahead John" doesn't appear in the Jack Johnson box. I'm glad I still have it, because tonight I wanted to hear this music on vinyl. "Great Expectations" is flawed, but brilliant - repetitive, but with constantly changing details.

Later: I've owned this album for, I think, 38 years. Until tonight, I had never played all four sides in one sitting. This imperfect album was perfect tonight.

Owned mine 38 years too. Picked up this one and 'Get Up With It' at the special '2LPs for price of 1' price of £2.99 each on UK CBS. Been spinning them both regularly ever since - and they are still both Mint - !

Lucky Thompson - Happy Days are Here Again (Prestige stereo)

[B. Clugston]

John Fahey, America (Takoma).

Jaki Byard, Solo Piano (Prestige).

Two LPs that lost something and gained something when reissued on CD.

Listening to the record, it sounds as if she exerted a lot of control over the playing. If it's true the musicians weren't happy, perhaps that's why.

Yes, I believe that was the cause of the friction.

There's an interview with Carla in this month's 'Jazzwise' which mentions the difficulties on this tour and the fact that it was run on a shoe-string financially. I'll dig it out.
