Sonny Clark Trio

Lee Konitz/Hal Galper: Windows

Thanks to HutchFan for posting this recording a day or so ago. I decided to play it again and found that there was much good music that I'd missed before.

Yes, it's a nice one. Hadn't heard it before.

Masahiko Sato "trinity" (Enja, Japan white label promo). I have a few Japanese pressings of Enja titles and they all sound phenomenal; terrific pressings.  I have not played this in 10-15 years or so; a very strong "live in the studio" session featuring Pierre Favre on drums and Peter Warren on bass. Recorded in 1971 during a peak phase of Sato's career IMO so it's pretty much indispensable for fans.

Excellent platter .... fully agree on the Enja Victor Japan pressing - same applies to Terusama Hino`s "Taru`s Mood" and Peter Warren`s "Bass Is" ....

Peter Warren's Bass Is... now there's a special record.

I see those pressings on occasion and they always look a bit on the 'budget' side - I guess they must have been mid-price on issue?

i've had a few , no worth bothering with IMO- pretty flat but worse pressings seem dodgy-

It's a good one, from 1964. Recorded by Cosimo Matassa at Zion Hill Baptist Church in the Treme neighborhood.

The small Nobility label was affiliated with Dixieland Hall, a short-lived rival to Preservation Hall. Their catalog (about a dozen releases, I think) is somewhat mixed in quality; this is one of the better issues.

[clifford_thornton]

Roosevelt Sykes - Hard Drivin' Blues - (Delmark)

indeed.

[jeffcrom]

Clifford Jordan / Sonny Red - A Story Tale (Jazzland mono). I'm really enjoying this.

[clifford_thornton]

Johnny Griffin - Foot Patting - (Youngblood, UK)

This was issued on Vogue in Germany as Lady Heavy Bottom's Waltz, and is a very groovy session of Clarke-Boland regulars.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

i got this lp on APPLAUSE today (not a bn reissue---an actual applause original)-- 

it looked like perhaps some awesome smooth jazz record, 1982....tom barney was on bass (steely dan2k)--- tom pierson is the leader and lp name.  

 

anyhoo, IT SUX

^ Haha, noted.

Now:
Robert Ruff - Shaza-Ra - (Baystate, JP)

solid, loose modal material from this Boston bassist and poet, w/ drummer Syd Smart, reedists Raqib Hassan and William Mathews, and pianist Mwalim Atif (who sounds particularly good). 

[kh1958]

Keith Jarrett, Mysteries (Impulse) and Shades (Impulse)

Otis Spann: The Blues Is Where It's At

My favorite Otis Spann after the Candid sessions. Probably his best with a band - in this case a great one - Muddy''s.

[paul secor]

Robert Pete Williams: Louisiana Blues (Takoma)

[clifford_thornton]

Great one. Mine has a somewhat different, rather plain black and white cover with black labels.

George Finola - Jazz of the Chosen Few (New Orleans Originals mono). A really nice one from 1965, equally influenced by Bix and New Orleans, and including Blue Lu Barker's first recorded vocals since the 1940s.

Marion Brown - Three for Shepp (Impulse)

Budd Johnson - Off the Wall (Argo mono). Just picked this one up. I have a soft spot for Budd Johnson, since his Argo album that preceded this one, Ya! Ya!, was the first jazz album I owned.
