Homefromtheforest Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 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 An excellent album Kenny Wheeler - "Music for Large and Small Ensembles" [ECM] Another classic...loved this band with Holland, Abercrombie, etc. 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. True..didn't mean to come across as saying it wasn't good...it is a great album and often I forget that John McLaughlin is on it which is pretty cool! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 yeah, side two gets particularly heavy ! Quote
B. Clugston Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 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? My favourite record featuring Baker is George Russell Sextet at "The Five Spot," which, in a continuing theme from Russell's time at Decca, wasn't recorded where the title said it was. Great album, but the other Russells featuring Baker are all very good. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 The Deccas are all superb. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Steve Lacy "spiritual moments" (paddlewheel, Japan). Love this album...for some reason his Japanese LPs resonate deeply with me but then again it's no coincidence I have a ton of Masahiko Togashi albums as well... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Spiritual Moments is a wonderful record. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Neil Young "on the beach" (reprise, USA). My second favorite Neil young album after "tonight's the night" Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Bill Barron - Variations In Blue (Muse). Nice date with some great soloing all around. Jimmy Owens plays his ass off on a couple of tunes. Unfortunately, the record is pretty beat up, with a heavy scratch through most of Side A. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Ken(ny) Werner - The Piano Music of Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and James P. Johnson (Finnadar Records). It was a dollar so why not? It's actually very good if you like this style of piano music. I wanted to hear Kenny's first recording so I grabbed it. Quote
