Karlheinz Stockhausen, Momente (DG). I actually prefer the 1965 version, half of which shows up on Side 6.

Same here - have the 65 version on a Wergo LP.

Now:

[Chuck Nessa]

The Genius of Art Tatum #2 (Verve/Clef trumpet label). Price sticker from Marshall Field & Company, at $4.98.

Polar Bear - Black and White [No Label 10'']

still the most interesting and inventine Brit band of their generation

[paul secor]

Coltrane Live at Birdland (Impulse Japan)

[mjazzg]

Oriental Wind - Bazaar [sonet]

[paul secor]

Sonny Boy Williamson: Talk That Talk - Sonny Boy at the Chess Studio 1957-61 (Chess/P-Vine)

[jeffcrom]

Grachan Moncur III - Some Other Stuff (BN, 1995 issue)

[mjazzg]

Love that Moncur. My favourite BN possibly

meantime...

Keith Jarrett - Nude Ants [ECM]

sometimes returning to and rediscovering a recording not listened to in years is a thing of joy. The sheer exuberance on display here is enough to take the edge off the crappiest day.

Whenever I listen to that record, in addition to the magic of Sonny Boy's vocals, harp, and songwriting, I'm always amazed by the quality of the bands he recorded with.

[jeffcrom]

Oliver Lake/Julius Hemphill - Buster Bee (Sackville)

Dave Brubeck Quartet - In Europe (Columbia 6-eye mono). I have mixed feelings about Brubeck, but they fall on the positive side overall. Nothing mixed about my feelings about Paul Desmond. In any case, this is a good one.

[clifford_thornton]

Manfred Schoof - The Early Quintet - (FMP)

[jeffcrom]

The Chocolate Dandies (DRG). Tonight I had an intense need to hear some early-30s jazz, and after thinking about it for a couple of minutes, I realized that this album was just what I needed. I hate the name given to this recording-studio-only band (or rather, series of bands), but the music is superb - check out the list of featured musicians listed on the cover. And the "others" include Frank Teschmacher, Bobby Stark, Jimmy Harrison, Chu Berry, and Sid Catlett. My US DRG copy is identical to the European EMI version shown, except for the label name.

I've had the EMI edition for many years and agree it's wonderful. The transfers are pretty decent too IRCC.

Gunter Hampel & Jeanne Lee - Oasis [Horo]

[Berr]

A Drum is A Woman. Duke Ellington. This was quite a detailed piece.

[B. Clugston]

Steve Lacy, Lumps (ICP).

Jimmy Giuffre, Piece For Clarinet and String Orchestra/Mobiles (Verve).

Dammit, I still need Lumps - it has eluded me for years and years... Nice catch!

Now:
Masabumi Kikuchi/Masahiko Togashi/Gary Peacock - Poesy: The Man Who Keeps Washing His Hands - (Philips, JP)
