Has to be today to prioritise over the cricket commentary!

Well, I for one will be relieved that it is over for a while now, so that I can listen to a bit more jazz and not the exploits of messrs Cook, Root, Jimmy and co. !

The Rolf And Joachim Kuhn Quartet - Impressions Of New York [Impulse/abc]

I've not played this in years and I don't know why as it's a great listen.  All four musicians really shine. I need to hear more Rolf Kuhn in a similar style. Any recommendations?

Transfiguration, Solarius, Mad Rockers, Going to the Rainbow, Devil in Paradise, parts of The Day After... the records get a little more jazz-rock-esque as they go along but he's inimitable and brings a weighty concept to the proceedings.

Nice list, thanks a lot. I have Transfiguration but none of the others

JATP/Lester Young - Carnegie Blues (Verve). Good Lester - nothing outstanding, except for the 1957 "Polka Dots and Moonbeams." On that one his playing is weak, but incredibly moving - some of the most fragile music I've ever heard.

Art Blakey - The Witch Doctor (BN UA)

Marian McPartland - Ambiance (Halcyon, 1970). While I haven't heard all of McPartland's albums (who has?), this has got to be one of her best. It's definitely the most adventurous of the ones I've heard. The rhythm section is Michael Moore on bass and Jimmy Madison or Billy Hart on drums.

Oh yeah. That's a really good record. :tup

Jeff, have you heard Interplay? It's a piano/bass duo record (with Linc Milliman), also released in 1970. It's similar to Ambiance, just as adventurous.

Freddie Hubbard - Sweet Return (Atlantic)

Yes, I've got Interplay - I'll spin it soon. And it's been awhile since I've played that Freddie Hubbard album - it's mighty good. (His last great one? I'm not really in a position to know.)

Now playiing:

Paul Bley/Bill Connors/Jimmy Giiuffre - Quiet Song (Improvising Artists). One of the most utterly beautiful records I own.

Keith Jarrett - Staircase (ECM). Bought this back in the day when I was trying to figure out The Jazz. At some point I decided that I wasn't a huge fan of solo Jarrett, and haven't spun Staircase in years. Something made me put it on tonight, and it's really hitting the spot. I'm going to listen to as many of the four sides as I can before sleep overtakes me.

I'm not saying it's great, because I'm not sure that it is - just that's it's perfect for me right now.

And what a beautiful cover photo.
