THE BOSS MEN - Don Patterson, Sonny Stitt, Billy James. Blue label Prestige, 203 S. Washington. Bergenfield, NJ. Recording by Rudy Van Gelder, and it sounds great. I just got back from the dentist (2nd visit this week), and I needed something with a high chill-out factor

BLACK PEARL - Jimmy McGriff. Blue Note/UA LP. Fat-back, gut-bucket, down-home, cold beer, blues and grooves aplenty

[Clunky]

Excellent album, like this a lot

MOON FLIGHT - Rashied Ali Quartet and Quintet - Survival Records

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Chet Baker - Smokin' With The Chet Baker Quintet (Roulette). Chet on flugelhorn and some nice George Coleman on tenor. This is a Roulette pressing with a barcode. I see that it's been issued a few other times. I hope the other issues sound better than this one. Very muffled.

A couple of the Blue Note Cover Series reissues. Andrew Hill 'One For One' and McCoy Tyner 'Cosmos' - with the common factor of both having tracks with string quartet. Not the greatest of pressings but fantastic music - must have about 15 or so of these. I think the only one of the twofers I don't have is the Sam Rivers.

Herbie Hancock - Takin' Off (Blue Note, Dutch pressing)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Sonny Criss - Out Of Nowhere (Muse) - It looks like an original Bell Sound pressing. I'm not a big fan of the bass sound from this era in recording history. Twang, twang, twang goes the bass.

Nobuo Hara with Sharps and Flats Meets Elvin Jones and Frank Foster - "Giant Steps"

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Eddie Lockjaw Davis - Smokin' (Prestige). Dark blue/silver label Van Gelder pressing. It's pretty beat up but plays OK (so far).

Andrew Hill - Point of Departure (Blue Note, Liberty pressing)

[Mark Stryker]

[Clunky]

Excellent session. Music isn't revelatory but it's very good and in very nice sound .

I would like to find that in a bin someday.

I just found it a few weeks ago at Encore Records in Ann Arbor, one of the great used record/CD shops

in the country. It's really a strong and intriguing record, showcasing Jones at his most modern but in a slightly different vein than his Great Jazz Trio LPs with Ron Carter and Tony Williams, perhaps because it's quartet so you get to hear him comp. Great blindfold test LP in that way. Jordan sounds typically great too.

THE HAP'NIN'S -Gigi Gryce Quintet - Gryce (as), Richard Williams (tp), Julian Euell (b), Richard Wyands (p), Granville (!) "Mickey" Roker (d).
Prestige Blue label, 203 So. Washington, "RVG" in the runoff. Great sound.
