Pepper Adams - The Master... (Muse, 1980)
In my personal pantheon of bari-sax players, there are three who stand well above the others. They are Harry Carney, Pepper Adams, and John Surman.

 A little gem indeed ....

My personal pantheon starts with Serge Chaloff, Gerry Mulligan and Ronnie Cuber.

Johnny Fuller: Fullers Blues (Bluesmaker)

[jeffcrom]

 

Hal McKusick - Jazz Workshop (RCA Victor). A remarkable jazz composers' album, with charts by George Russell, Gil Evans, Jimmy Giuffre, Al Cohn, and Johnny Mandel. In any other context, the Cohn and Mandel pieces would sound excellent, but they're kind of outclassed here. Russell's "Lydian Lullaby" and the long-ish "The Day John Brown was Hanged" are all the more impressive for being written for just four instruments - alto sax, guitar, bass, and drums.

Horace Silver - Doin' the Thing (BN mono). New York label, with the "ear" and all, if it matters.

[kh1958]

Jupiter and Okwess, Troposphere 13

Charles Lloyd, Nirvana (Columbia)

[sidewinder]

With Barbara Thompson, Jon Hiseman, Rod Argent, Don Airey.

Michel Legrand - Broadway is My Beat - Philips (mono)

Oscar Peterson - A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra - Verve (mono)

Eddie Harris - Silver Cycles - Atlantic (stereo)

Stan Kenton - Hair - Capitol (stereo, with amazing green and purple labels). If the whole album is as good as track one…Wow!

"Hair" was a disappointment.  "Colored Spade" was by far the money cut, but there were a few others worth spinning.

Leon Thomas with Oliver Nelson - Live in Berlin - Flying Dutchman

[Teasing the Korean]

Cannonball Adderley - Live - Capitol (yellow reissue label, stereo)

I have a story about that date, told Cuscuna, he repeated it in print and Leo had to issue a retraction for ECM. I will tell you in person.

Oh, my....

NP:

Sonny Berman - Beautiful Jewish Music (Onyx). The 1946 jam session by a bunch of Herman-ites is not as great as one might expect, considering the personnel, but it's nice to have more Berman and Serge Chaloff, considering how relatively little they recorded.

Later, after the whole shooting match is over - yeah, not great, overall, but Sonny Berman's solo on "BMT Face" is just gorgeous.

Clifford Brown - Max Roach

[jeffcrom]

DeDe Pierce and His New Orleans Stompers (Center). I can't find a picture of the original 1966 issue; just the Biograph issue from ten years later.
