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.

now off to hear roscoe and mike reed.

Pseudo-Magritte I suppose. I wish I was off to see Roscoe and Mike Reed!

Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of the release date for Kind of Blue. This ain't Kind of Blue, but you do get a minute or so of the bass line from "So What."

One of today's nice finds. A UK mono 'Way Out West' on Vogue - sounds superb.

Followed by the second good find. Art Farmer/Gigi Gryce on Esquire. Cover art by Diz Disley.

[mjazzg]

Albert Ayler Trio - Spiritual Unity [ESP]

not an original but the recent 50th anniv reissue

[jeffcrom]

Brad Gowans and his New York Nine (RCA Victor 10" LP). This 1946 date is a delight - excellent, unclassifiable jazz. While searching for a picture, I discovered that it's available on Spotify and on CD in a couple of forms under pianist Joe Bushkin's name.
