Birdland Stars - On Tour Vol. 1 (RCA Victor). Recorded after the tour, with annoying fake applause. Some nice blowing, though.

Pee Wee Russell Plays (Dot stereo). Pee Wee's originals, with Buck Clayton, Vic Dickenson, and Bud Freeman sharing the front line. I really love this album.

Holland on Cello was sheer class ....

[sidewinder]

Yusef Lateef 'The Golden Flute' (Impulse, stereo)

[sidewinder]

Oliver Nelson 'Dedication Series/3 Dimensions' (MCA Impulse 2LPs).

Fine reissue by M Cuscuna, no complaints whatsoever about the sonics.

[paul secor]

Count Basie - Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson - Big Joe Turner: "Kansas City Shout"

[jeffcrom]

Luis Russell and his Louisiana Swing Orchestra (Columbia).. Enjoying the pre-Red Allen tracks more than I ever have before - although the band became a real force of nature when Allen and Pops Foster joined.

[John Tapscott]

[jeffcrom]

Archie Shepp - Coral Rock (Prestige)

[jeffcrom]

Louis Armstrong - Disney Songs the Satchmo Way (Buena Vista). This 1968 offering is as corny as you might imagine, but it has Armstrong's last great trumpet solos (on "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" and "Chim Chim Cheree"), and his vocal on "When You Wish Upon a Star" is just gorgeous.

Toshiko Mariano "lullabies for you" (CBS, Japan original)

[kh1958]

Jim Hall and Red Mitchell, Guitar (Artists House), and Paul Desmond (Artists House)

[paul secor]

Circle - 2 Gathering [CBS/Sony Japan]

a board inspired purchase. thank you whoever it was who posted about this (Jeffcrom possibly)

 

Like I told you before, I like both Japanese Circle LP's (a lot) more than the ECM "Paris Concert". Just last week I talked about this with someone who was actually present at the 1971 concert. He told me the complete concert was recorded by French radio for broadcasting and included a first set which featured just one long and very "free" improvisation. When ECM released the concert one or two years later that first set was left out. Luckily, we've got those Japanese LP's to get an impression of what this quartet was really about.

Interesting, to have been at the concert would've been great. On first acquaintance I find the studio date the strongest and I'm pleased to have got hold of both as alternatives to the ECM (which I do enjoy but now seems less consistent in comparison)

Johnny Griffin "sextet" (riverside, mono DG USA)

Motoharu Yoshizawa "outfit" (trio, Japan). I think this might be my favorite of the 3 I have by this outstanding Japanese bassist.

Agreed .... although "Inland Fish" ain`t too shabby either ....

The recent reissue but it gets the job done. The energy is tremendous.

I'm quite fond of that one as well. Lucked out on a nice original in the nascent years of eBay.
