While in my last year of high school I took a chance on a record because of the cover shot of a "crazed musician".

YOU+BETTER+BELIEVE+IT!.jpg

It was a clear/yellow vinyl pressing in stereo with the blue label. That record went the way of much vinyl to finance cds on my label. When my father died a few years ago I found a copy I had given him. Sadly, only black vinyl but it still sounds great.

Horace Tapscott & Arkestra, The Call. Great session--love those massed basses on Side 2.

Teddy Charles, 3 For Duke. With Hall Overton and Oscar Pettiford in great form. Seriously underrated record.

Dewey Redman, Coincide. Nice latter -day Impulse date.

Chitinous Ensemble 'Chitinous' (Deram, stereo)

Awesome albums!! Particularly love "phase III"! Have them on vinyl and CD as well...

Yes, good as the CDs are I always like to hear these on vinyl to appreciate the interaction and dynamism of this group. Garrick is particularly good on 'Phase III', even though he does throw in a bit of 'Maybe It's because I'm A Londoner' like a Pearly King in his first solo (only British jazz could get away with that).

Guy Warren of Ghana "Afro jazz" (Columbia lansdowne, stereo)...,pulled out of the shelves inspired by Sidewinder's "rendell/Carr" selections!

Still need to hear that Chitinous Ensemble album...

Sidewinder - a few years ago a "hi-fi" shop had a special promotion in town here in vancouver where they had these special $100,000 speakers on display and you could bring your favorite record to audition on these speakers. I brought my mint stereo copy of "phase III" to hear on these speakers...sounded unreal! Can't remember the brand name of the speakers but yes - their price tag was around $100,000!!!

Is that what that whimsical little melody is from? I love that first solo of his on that track haha...interesting tidbit!

The Dedication Series VIII - The New Breeed [impulse]

tremendous to discover some new to me Grachan Moncur on this compilation

Quite under-recognized music on this one. IMO one of the essential LPs from that time & place. (all this stuff is also on the expanded CD edition of the orignal New Wave of Jazz LP)
