I bought at least two avant-garde jazz LPs from John at one point.

Curtis Fuller: Vol. 3 (BN/Toshiba EMI)

From Nat Hentoff's liner notes: "Curtis is in music for life. As tough as it gets, ... he never considers not being a jazz trombonist."

Fifty seven years later, he is still a jazz trombonist. Thanks for that, Mr. Fuller.

Marion Brown - Juba-Lee (Japanese reissue)

[jeffcrom]

The Cats and Jammer Kids: West German Jazz (Angel 10"). A collection of 1954 recordings. The quality is mixed, but the best are very good - Hans Koller, Paul Kuhn, and some very early Albert Mangelsdorff.

Bought it one day, found out that it has been reissued by Wergo on CD the next, but then found out today that the Wergo CDs are all LP rips because the original masters are all lost, so break even in that regard.

Not so much breaking even in the cost department. Got a copy of this for next to nothing in the mid-70s (because I was so ready for new things), sold it for almost-nest to nothing in the late-70s (because I was so pure about from where those new things were needed to originate) and recently paid around $25.00 for the opportunity to have it again, because it's no longer about "new" or "where" as it is, just, is it right. At least for now, that's what it's about.

I have to say, I was right the first time I bought it - this shit is right. Her opening notes to Aria...are still magical. Looking at different versions on YouTube show the difference between a "performance artist" and a true artist. You can't fake pocket. Cathy Berberian had some deep pocket.

Jamming at Rudi's, Vol. 2 (Circle 10") I like this Kansas City-style jam session a lot - Hot Lips Page sounds really good here.

Again tonight, since I've pulled out the 10" LPs, and since I recently read that this album was influential for Roswell Rudd. (Tyree Glenn is the trombonist.)

I wanted to replay these recent arrivals to try to get a firmer perspective on them:

LIVE IN LISBON - Rodrigo Amado Motion Trio & Peter Evans. NoBusiness LP.

When I first listened to this LP, I tended to focus on Peter Evans, not surprisingly since he is in top form here. Amado did not break through to me on that first listen. The problem is that Evans buzzes around Amado like a maddened hornet buzzing around the head of a hapless picnicker. A couple of times, Amado tries to close the distance with Evans, then decides to go with the ground game; a fairly sensible decision. Amado is fine, I just don't think he does anything that stands out.

MALUS - Nate Wooley, Hugo Antunes, Chris Corsano. NoBusiness.

"Malus" failed to knock me out on first or second listen. On this go-round, my reaction was the same. A good record, but for some reason it never quite gets off the ground. It almost comes off like a lower-case performance. There's a dark and doleful atmosphere throughout. Biggest surprise--I'm really tempted to say disappointment--is Corsano. Probably the flattest performance I've heard from him.

DASHES TO DASHES: Boots Brown- Mats Gustafsson (as), Johan Berthling (b), Magnus Broo (tp), David Stackenas (g). Hapner LP.

I didn't realize it when I picked it up at the Swedish Azz show, but the vinyl is a cool chocolate brown color. But to be perfectly blunt about the music, I found it rather a bore. It's Mat in quiet mode, so if you like that kind of thing, this might work for you. I kept thinking of paint drying.
