mjazzg Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Great session. Full of space and grace Quote
Leeway Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 CRISIS - Ornette Coleman. Impulse! ABC. With Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Denardo Coleman. I'm inclined to rank this album right up there with the Golden Circle albums. Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 James Blood Ulmer: "Are You Glad To Be In America?" Artist House. Ornette-ian harmolodics, free jazz, funk, reggae, etc etc, and/but it all works quite well. Quote
paul secor Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 The Popular Duke Ellington (RCA Germany) Couldn't find an image for the cover on my copy, so this will have to do. Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 THE FIVE YEAR PLAN - Tim Berne - Empire LP. With John Carter, Vinny Golia, Glenn Ferris, Alex Cline, Roberto Miranda. Berne's debut album. Interesting how he debuted with a West Coast group of players. Quote
JSngry Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 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. Yeah, ok, here we go:. Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 LIVING LEGEND - Art Pepper, Hampton Hawes, Charlie Haden, Shelly Manne. Contemporary LP. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Joanne Brackeen - Ancient Dynasty (Columbia/Tappan Zee). I haven't spun this one for several years, but inspired by the resurgence of the Brackeen thread, decided to play it tonight. It has done more than wear well - it has really gone up in my estimation with this playing. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Andrew Hall's Society Jazz Band - Talk of the Town (Shalom). A 1981 recording by the British expat drummer and his band of obscure New Orleanians. This is an interesting album - most Europeans who come to New Orleans to play traditional jazz have pretty doctrinaire ideas about how the music should go. (I know I'm generalizing.) Hall and his band, though, play the kind of loose mix of trad, swing and R & B that Crescent City musicians gravitated to around that time. In the band are trumpeter Reginald Koeller, whom I heard several times at Preservation Hall, and the little-known, but excellent alto saxist Ernest Poree, who I unfortunately never heard in person. Poree, who also recorded with Dave "Fat Man Williams" and the Onward Brass Band, was famous for his stamina, sometimes playing two parades during the day and a dance gig at night - and still ready to play some more at the end of it all.

jeffcrom Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 The Olympia Brass Band of New Orleans (Audiophile). I've said it before here - this magnificent 1971 album has got to be the best-sounding New Orleans brass band recording ever made. And the music is worthy of Ewing Nunn's brilliant engineering. This session is available on a GHB CD, but the CD couldn't possibly sound better than this near-mint hunk of vinyl. Quote

tomatamot Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 BUDD JOHNSON & PHIL WOODS - The Ole Dude & The Fundance Kid Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 NOW HEAR THIS - Hal Galper, Terumasa Hino, Cecil McBee, Tony Williams. Inner City LP. Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 STONE WATER - Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet - OkkaDisk LP. 1999 Quote
John Tapscott Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Good solos, esp. by tenor Gregory Herbert, but the soaring Herd is weighed down by mediocre, funk-oriented charts. Trying to be hip, typical for the early 70's. Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 BALLS - Brotzmann, Van Hove, Bennink - Cien Fuegos reissue of FMP LP. Quote
Leeway Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 TSCHUS - Brotzmann, Van Hove, Bennink - Cien Fuego LP reissue of FMP 0230. I find it amusing that the album starts with a surprisingly romantic ballad piece dedicated to Bobby Few, who has his own very definite crooner tendencies (I once saw him croon "It Was A Very Good Year") and end with Brotzmann crooning his own little ballad. Everything in the middle anything but crooning. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 I've never had Tschüs for some reason. I should grab it sometime. Quote
colinmce Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 NOW HEAR THIS - Hal Galper, Terumasa Hino, Cecil McBee, Tony Williams. Inner City LP. This looks cool. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars - Music for Lighthousekeeping (Stereo). I mean "Stereo" is the label it was issued on - "Stereo Records S7008, In Association with Contemporary Records." I found this record today - in very nice shape, and for all of three dollars. It was news to me. Apparently Contemporary was recording in stereo before stereo LPs even existed - I know that Atlantic did the same. And apparently their first stereo issues were under a separate label name. And for such early stereo, it sounds very good. Then, something very different, but equally excellent: Joe McPhee & Chris Corsano - Scraps and Shadows (Roaratorio) Quote
