I've never seen that album before - I know Time Cycle, but not Echoi. And I know a Larry Rivers portrait when I see one. Cool!

Jay McShann/Buddy Tate: Crazy Legs & Friday Strut (Sackville)

Oh, I should get this. Did it come out on CD?

MG

Came across a copy of this today. Nice session , very well recorded.

[Clunky]

John Coltrane -------- Expression-----(UK stereo version of image above)

Very good curtain call. Sound on this edition is very clear and not in the least bit muddy. I have a Jasmine LP edition too and it's not a patch on this one.

That inspired me to pull out the version on Wergo. Different players, but also features a well-known composer on piano, this time Lukas Foss himself.

Chu Berry: A Giant of the Tenor Sax (Commodore)

I've never been a big Chu Berry fan. Roy Eldridge's playing is what grabs me when I listen to this record.

Okay - if folks can enlighten me as to what I'm missing, my ears are open.

Eric Dolphy: Other Aspects (BN)

[JSngry]

I've never been a big Chu Berry fan.

(Shaking head): Paul, Paul, Paul....

If nothing else, incredible fluidity/fluency of execution and superbly full & even tone in all registers. Chu Berry played without hesitation, intellectually or physically. Remarkable even today, but especially so then, in light of the relative "newness" of the instrument, not just to "jazz", but to music as a whole.

That much is objective. Everything else, subjective.

[John Tapscott]

Edit: I still think one ot the best, if not the best, of all Jarrett's records

Agreed. It's a great record, probably his best IMO.

[jeffcrom]

Chu Berry - The Calloway Years (Meritt)

and record two, the Chu Berry recordings from:

The Commodore Years - The Tenor Sax (Atlantic)

I appreciate Paul prodding me to listen to some Chu tonight and reexamine what I love about his playing. I sent him some thoughts about Chu privately, but I'll add here: listen again to "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" from that Commodore album. Chu's solo is sophisticated and exploratory, but it doesn't sound much like Hawkins, to my ears. Leon Berry was his own man.
