Clarke/Boland 'The Golden 8' (BN NY USA, mono)

Has these ever been released on CD?

[colinmce]

In Japan, but not in any domestic reissue programs.

[clifford_thornton]

I have a Japanese Toshiba LP pressing of The Golden Eight. Excellent album. Need to dig it out again. (been a while since I was on a CBBB kick, though when it's a kick, it's heavy...)

Yes, it came out on Toshiba (I have it somewhere upstairs). Don't think that King ever did that one. Schema/Rearward have done the 'companion' album to that - must get hold of it !

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, the Schema disc is on the wants list (tho I gotta make room here in the Brooklyn hovel!)

[jeffcrom]

Music and Song of Italy (Tradition). Alan Lomax recordings from 1954. Practically everything Lomax recorded is worth hearing. The music from his Italian trip is raw, varied, and moving. I wouldn't recognize much of it as Italian if I heard it "sight unseen."

This again. I was just typing the phrase "Practically everything Lomax recorded is worth hearing" when I saw that I had already said that back in December.

[B. Clugston]

George Russell Sextet in K.C. (Decca). Actually they are in New York. Nice session with Dave Baker, Don Ellis and Dave Young.

Krystall Klear and the Buells, Ready for the 90's. Marty Krystall and Buell Neidlinger with Warren Gale and Billy Higgins. Excellent date. Includes a stray track with Cecil Taylor from the 60s.

Karl Berger & Edward Blackwell: Just Play (Quark)

[B. Clugston]

Karl Berger & Edward Blackwell: Just Play (Quark)

Good idea. I'm going to spin this next. Great record.

Same here, not played in years. I'll have to dig it out.

George Russell Sextet in K.C. (Decca). Actually they are in New York. Nice session with Dave Baker, Don Ellis and Dave Young.

I really like Baker's playing on "Jazz in the Space Age" but have not heard anything else. Recommendations?

[colinmce]

Any of the great George Russell Riverside LPs of the early 60s: Ezzthetics, Stratus Seekers, Stratusphunk.

[clifford_thornton]

and if you want to hear him on cello, Charles Tyler's Eastern Man Alone (ESP).

Now:

Kenny Wheeler - Windmill Tilter - (Fontana UK)

[Homefromtheforest]

Kenny Wheeler "windmill tilter" (Fontana, UK). This is not my favorite Wheeler record, but it's his first as a leader and sets the tone for great things to come from him.

[sidewinder]

My copy of 'Windmill Tilter' is coming out later on. As is 'Music For Large and Small Ensembles' (ECM 2LP) and the Incus LP.

George Russell Sextet 'Ezz-thetics' (Riverside) would be my immediate recommendation for great playing by Baker, particularly on the title track.

Gerald Wilson Big Band - Moment of Truth [Fontana]

The 17 Piece Orchestra of Gerald Wilson - You better believe it! [Fontana]

[clifford_thornton]

Kenny Wheeler "windmill tilter" (Fontana, UK). This is not my favorite Wheeler record, but it's his first as a leader and sets the tone for great things to come from him.

It's maybe not the "best" one but it's really, really good and I play it fairly often. Underrated IMO.

Kenny Wheeler - "Music for Large and Small Ensembles" [ECM]

[paul secor]

Jimmy Lyons: Other Afternoons (BYG)

[mjazzg]

Kenny Wheeler Quintet - Flutter by, Butterfly [soul Note] w. Stan Sulzman, John Taylor, Dave Holland, Billy Elgart

Lead off track 'Everybody's Song But My Own' quintessential Wheeler in many ways

[sidewinder]

Lonnie Smith 'Turning Point' (BN Liberty blue/white)
