Mal Waldron--------All Alone---------(Globe)

Interesting Japanese issue of solo date from Milan in 1966. Mal has his new style largely in place. I'd never heard of it until I picked this up yesterday but then he was prolific!

I think I read this is John Surman's first album. Side A is a surprising set of calypso/carnivale music, sincerely played. Side B is more of a free jazz outing. A lot of musicians important to British free jazz are here: Mike Osborne, Paul Rutherford, Kenny Wheeler, Harry Becket, Dave Holland.

This copy is a white label promo "D.J" copy. Hard to bracket "D.J" and Lol in the same sentence.

Lol Coxhill - EAR OF BEHOLDER - Double LP, Ampex.

This copy is a white label promo "D.J" copy. Hard to bracket "D.J" and Lol in the same sentence.

The version of 'I am the Walrus' is a dance floor classic.

Yeah, that is pretty cool! Although I didn't think of it that way, but sure, I can see that. I went back and looked at the inside of the gate-fold, and I noticed now that there are little notes in red ink next to each track. Must be the DJ's notes (?). Next to "I Am The Walrus" it is noted, "(far-out!!) kids".

Johnny Griffin's Studio Jazz Party (Riverside mono). Just back from visiting the wife's relatives on the left coast; nice to be back to the cats and the turntable. I picked up a few records and CDs out there, including this one - slightly battered, but quite listenable with the mono cartridge. I had never heard of this session before - it's, to use a technical term, a hoot.

Buck Clayton Jam Session: All the Cats Join In (Columbia). A gorgeous 6-eye copy brought back from Bellingham, Washington.

Ken Colyer - New Orleans to London (London 10"). Ken Colyer, who jumped ship 1952 (he was in the UK Merchant Navy) in Mobile to get to New Orleans and play with his idols there, is my favorite European trad jazzman. I believe that this was his first album after being arrested and deported back to England. It's a delight. I couldn't find a picture of the US London issue I have, but it has the same cover design as the British Decca cover shown here.
