What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[HutchFan]

Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke (Muse, rec. 1975)
with Barry Harris, Sam Jones, and Billy Higgins

An easygoing, almost offhand amble through five Ellington warhorses + one blues.  Bee-you-tee-full.

yeah, went back and forth with Chuck about this some years ago -- hard to figure, but Williams seems to be incorrect in the sleeve text, though the US issue went out of print very quickly. In talking with Haden, he recalled Alan showing up to his door with the freshly released LP in the late '60s, cackling about getting something out on Verve titled 'Orgasm.' 

Fascinating - not aware of that.

Lucky Thompson - Illuminations (Groove Merchant)
with Cedar Walton, Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes

This is a 2-LP repackaging of music originally released as Goodbye Yesterday (1972) and I Offer You (1973).  It's such expressive and soulful music!  Sadly, these are some of the last recordings Thompson ever made, and that is a cryin' shame because Lucky was a MAGICIAN.

Charles Moffett Family Vol. 1 (LRS)

Elvin Jones - The Main Force (Vanguard). Some nice moments, but this doesn't compare to his Blue Note stuff.

[jeffcrom]

Gary Burton - Duster (RCA). Roy Haynes, yeah.

Dave Holland - Emerald Tears (ECM)

I really like that record, that version of Shepp's group -- with Charles Greenlee, Dave Burrell, Cameron Brown and Beaver Harris. Helluva band.

Edition II

[jeffcrom]

John Carisi / Cecil Taylor - Into the Hot (Impulse). I just re-read Leroi Jones / Amiri Baraka's review of this record from back in the day. He rightly praises the Cecil Taylor tracks and discusses them at some length. He then dismisses the beautiful John Carisi tracks with one sentence. He also is pretty condescending toward Gil Evans, whose decision to turn his second Impulse album over to Taylor and Carisi probably cost him his contract with that label.

Obscure but great down home Detroit blues, many recorded by Joe Von Battle.
