A charity shop find. Canadian issue I think.   Terrible jacket but the record looks okay but sounds a bit gritty.

 

Nice album John. My copy is a US 2-eye, mono, sounds pretty good, haven't noticed any grittiness. This one isn't on the Mosaic Select, of course.

Sidney Bechet - King of the Soprano Saxophone (Good Time Jazz). 1952-55 French recordings; the 1954 session with Jonah Jones along with a pretty random selection of other tracks.

Steve Lacy - Points (Le Chant du Monde). Lacy's 1978 tribute to the soprano saxophone. I mean, that's what all his albums are, but this one was specifically meant to be a tribute to his instrument. It's got a two-soprano version of "The Mooche," a solo medley of "In a Sentimental Mood" and "My Favorite Things" to honor Hodges and Coltrane, and his soprano duet suite "3 Points."

Paul Horn Four, Impressions! (World Pacific), and Pepper Adams, Critics' Choice* (World Pacific). The sound of the wonderful bassist Doug Watkins, is brilliantly captured on the Pepper Adams record.

Masters of Unorthodox Jazz - Overground - (Barabbas, recent seemingly-authorized reissue)

rugged Austrian free music session - the privately-pressed original is obscenely rare.

Another Lacy I'd love to hear and have never seen before.

Haven't spun that Lacy in a while but remember liking it a lot.

Arbete och Fritid - Arbete och Fritid - (MNW)

[John Tapscott]

[jeffcrom]

Rev. Johnny L. "Hurricane" Jones - Do Your Thing (Jewel). A sermon and a handful of songs and prayers from 1974. Julian Bond is in the congregation - name-checked by The Hurricane. The great Clarence Fountain joins Rev. Jones on "Walk With Me." And The Hurricane somehow manages to mash up one of Jesus' parables and an Isaac Hayes song: "And he said to the servant with one talent, "You didn't Do Your Thing!'" Right now this seems as good as any music / performance I've ever heard.

Steve Lacy & Cie - The Owl [Saravah]

first listen .I'm drawn in as much by Ms Aebi's vocals as anything else. I can see myself returning to this one many times to fully appreciate what's going on
