colinmce Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Haven't heard that one, but he plays pretty well on Tim Berne's Mostly Hemphill. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Slavic Soul Party - New York Underground Tapes (Barbes). Matt Moran's hot Balkan brass band. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Jack DeJohnette's Directions - Cosmic Chicken (Prestige). One of those nice noisy green-label pressings. DeJohnette did better as leader later, but I'm enjoying this one. certainly have never seen this prestige lp before.... Quote
BillF Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Gil Evans - Priestess (Antilles). I'm in weird place mentally. I usually listen to (or play) music in the evenings. But I like football well enough that tonight I watched three and a half hours of increasingly boring television; now I feel disoriented and not quite myself. This is the album I chose to restore my mental equilibrium. Good choice - although it's far from Evans' best album, I've loved it since it came out in 1983. Billy Harper's "Priestess" is such a moving tune, and it's enhanced by Evans' scoring and great solos. Is this the best Dave Sanborn ever played? A fine album! Quote

JSngry Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 If Bud Hobgood could've produced instead of Creed Taylor, we might well be looking at another Soul On Top mini-masterpiece. Instead we're looking at a frustratingly clipped collection of brilliant moments whose wings get clipped just when they're ready to really take off and soar. But those moments...they are here. Oliver Nelson WTF? moments, Charlie Mariano solo moment(s?), Irene Reid hitting it just right moments, they're all here. Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Introducing Eric Kloss (Prestige momo). Pretty impressive debut, with a great rhythm section - Don Patterson, Pat Martino, and Billy James. Quote

Clunky Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Cannonball Adderley------Them Dirty Blues -------( Riverside) mono DG Interdisc (UK?) pressing. Not a bad album perhaps not his best but very enjoyable Edited February 4, 2014 by Clunky Quote
Clunky Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Russ Freeman/Richard Twardzik--------Trios-------( Vogue UK) DG , both sides equally brilliant. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 That Columbia University group plays the shit out of Echoi! 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! Quote
porcy62 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Edit: I still think one ot the best, if not the best, of all Jarrett's records Edited February 5, 2014 by porcy62 Quote
Clunky Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 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. Quote
Clunky Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 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. Quote
B. Clugston Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 That Columbia University group plays the shit out of Echoi! 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. Quote
paul secor Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 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. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 I've never been a big Chu Berry fan. (Shaking head): Paul, Paul, Paul.... Quote
