The Legendary Buster Smith (Atlantic black label mono). A beautiful copy of a beautiful record.

Picked that one up almost 50 years ago (that's scary to think about). Another one due for a listen after too long a time.

Yes, I remember it from way back then. Gave it another listen recently on Spotify after reading a great deal about Smith in Stanley Crouch's biography of Charlie Parker's early years.

Count Basie: Chairman of the Board (Roulette/Classic)

Within the past couple of days I've listened to Atomic Basie and this record. To my ears, Chairman is the better of the two, even if Atomic Basie is better known.

It is the better of the two, no doubt in my mind. Chairman is one of the best albums the NT Basie Band ever made IMO, arguably the best.

All the ones I have both look and sound great. I particularly like the attention to detail with the LP sleeve facsimiles. The Tubby Hayes Tempos are particularly good - considering they are needle drops.

Paul Desmond Quartet Live (Horizon). Great quartet date with on Ed Bickert on guitar, Jerry Fuller on drums and Don Thompson on bass (and engineer). Desmond's solo on Jobim's Wave is packed with interesting moments.

tremendous performance ....

Joseph Jarman and Famoudou Don Moye, Egwu-Anwu (Sun Song) (India Navigation). Nice showcase of both talents without the other guys.

Jimmy Giuffre 3, Music for People, Birds, Butterflies & Mosquitoes (Choice). Great album from Giuffre's 70s trio. Lots of flute.

two very fine albums there :tup

I know I say it every time they're mentioned but those Giuffre Choice sessions really are right up there

Those albums seem to get forgotten amongst Giuffre's output, but they are great. Kiyoshi Tokunaga and Randy Kaye are an excellent rhythm section for this music.

 

Evan Parker/Derek Bailey/Han Bennink, The Topography of the Lungs (Incus)
